since your farewell
Chapter 3 Night Detective
In the dark and damp dungeon, countless pairs of greedy and evil eyes stared at her. Their eyes were like cold poisonous snakes wrapping around her small body, strangling her tightly, making people breathless. Wanting to escape this suffocating place of discord, but was tightly trapped in a cage, the blood full of poison in the body was cold, and the chill was filled like a ghost, accompanied by the tearing pain of the internal organs.
"Princess! Princess!"
The room was filled with smog, and the precious calming incense and Rongrong heating could not soothe the slightly raised eyebrows. Mingyue called her anxiously over and over again, dense beads of sweat oozed from her forehead, and her face was pale, but she couldn't escape. Out of the claws of nightmare.
"Jia Yunqing! Bring the medicine in!"
"coming!"
Situ Che hurriedly opened the door in response, and stood in the middle holding the medicine, not knowing what to do. This... This seems to be the princess's boudoir.
Mingyue put down the bed curtain, snatched the medicine plate from her hand, and kicked her out again.
The little girl fled to the edge of the cliff with scars all over her body. The pursuers pressed her every step of the way, and her mouth was full of deceit. In desperation, she closed her eyes, turned around and jumped into the cliff. What about being honorable?So what about receiving grace alone?In the end, he couldn't escape death, and his head was in a different place.
"Mother..."
This is her last concern in the world.
Pain and death did not come as promised, she fell into a warm embrace.
"Princess, wake up, Mingyue would rather wake up with your neck pinched by you every day than to be haunted by nightmares again",
Mingyue fed the medicine into her mouth with red eyes, and carefully wiped off the medicine stains at the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief.
The person on the bed finally reacted, moved her fingertips lightly, Mingyue closed her eyes immediately when she saw this, she knew that the princess in the nightmare would kill anyone who approached, she didn't blame her, it was her Protect your instinct.
"Mingyue..."
Zhou Nan slowly opened his eyes, and did not touch her as usual.
"Princess",
Mingyue is a little happy,
"You finally woke up".
"I dreamed of her."
"No wonder",
The bright moon is clear, she knows that there was once someone who cared for her wholeheartedly during the sufferings the princess encountered when she was young, and this is how Princess Jingyang is now safe and sound, just like this, whenever the princess dreams of that person, she can be peaceful and safe woke up.
It's just that that person doesn't know where she is, who her name is, and even her current appearance is unknown. Eight years are enough to change the appearance of a teenager.
"Why are you still sticking around? Aren't you very attentive a few days ago?"
As soon as the door opened, Mingyue couldn't help feeling angry when she saw that Situ Che was still standing at the door in a daze.
Situ Che glanced at the thinly dressed woman. This Princess Jingyang was as weak as the waiter said. Her lips were bloodless, and her body seemed to be unable to withstand a gust of wind. Situ Che quickly covered the white fur cloak in her hand. On her shoulders, the movement was very light, but even so, the heavy white fur still pressed down on her shoulders, making her even more sure that the princess didn't have any face, how could such a body bear it?
Zhou Nan didn't give any response, and didn't even look at her more. After Mingyue helped her tie up her waist-length hair, she went straight to the study in the main hall. Situ Che quickly followed, and was surprised again. Walking silently, could it be that he is also a martial artist?
The main hall is burning with a touch of sandalwood, and the burning stove in the room exudes bursts of warmth. What catches the eye is a square yellow wood pear table, on which many copywriting files are piled up in an orderly manner, and there is a side of fine stone The Taohe jade inkstone, with a three-inch wolf hair, is placed upright beside the inkstone, as if it is ready for the master's call.
Situ Che secretly looked at the spacious study room, is there anything she wants here?
"Don't look blind!"
Mingyue's scolding suddenly sounded,
"oh",
She quickly lowered her head and sighed silently. It seems that this Jia Yunqing left a very bad impression on the other party.
After a while, she understood why the princess mansion had to recruit companions to study. After the princess finished reviewing the pile of files on the table, Mingyue drove her to work as a coolie. The temperature in the room was very high, and Situ Che moved back and forth. Going to Xiaoshangao's case file, he was sweating hot.
Looking at Her Royal Highness, she is still sitting at the counter and concentrating on reviewing the memorial. The beautiful white robe is elegant and clean, with a white arm stretched out from the wide sleeve, the fingers holding the pen are slender and strong, three thousand black silk like ink, a quiet figure Like a banished fairy, not like the world.
No wonder, there are so many princes and ministers who are willing to come here to do an ordinary reading, even if they do nothing in front of this figure for a whole day, they will be satisfied.
Seeing that she looked so weak, but her writing was vigorous and powerful, Situ Che couldn't help but take a second look, but saw Mingyue standing next to her staring at her viciously, as if warning her "don't seduce the princess", so she had no choice but to He looked away in embarrassment, and covered his clothes tightly by the way, not caring about the sweat dripping from his temples.
The study was quiet, except for the occasional cough from the princess, which made Situ Che feel uncomfortable. She seemed to be coughing up her lungs, so during dinner, Situ Che proposed to go to the back kitchen Mingyue angrily refused her when she made a bowl of rock sugar pears, maybe this guy was going to show some kindness again.
"Do you know who the princess learned from?"
"I don't know", Situ Che answered honestly,
"Master Cassia",
After Mingyue finished speaking, she drove her back to the wing room.
Master Jueming is the direct successor of Hua Tuo, and he is a well-deserved peerless medical sage. The implication is that Jia Yunqing should not play tricks like this.
What about the medical saint?No matter how powerful a person is, there are always things he doesn't know. Situ Che didn't give up on this idea. The rock sugar pear she mentioned was not a dessert made by ordinary people, but a kind of medicinal food circulated in the military camp. The recipe was not as exquisite as that of the imperial chef , but because of the addition of some herbs, the effect of cough relief is excellent.
In her position, to seek her own government, since her current role is to take care of the princess, she must do this well. The major general glanced at the thin figure from a distance. About the same age, but...
That night, she sent Qingfeng to prepare the medicines. At the same time, because of this, she was ridiculed by several other companions.
The side room in the backyard is a big house, in which live five or six companions who are currently accompanying the princess, of course, they are all men.This was a big test for Situ Che. Although she grew up in the military camp as a man, her basic necessities were all in Situ Qingyun's main account. After she grew up, she even had an independent assistant. It is natural that I am not used to going out and sleeping with other people, but fortunately this Jia Yunqing is not popular, and other than making fun of him, the others will not be particularly close to him.
Among these accompanying readers, the one who has a more relaxed relationship with Jia Yunqing is the man who sleeps on the bed next to her. This person is Qiu Ye. It is said that he used to be the young minister of the Taichang Temple. Dispatched in Yongzhou, he found the princess here in order to stay in the capital. For some reason, the companions around the princess always changed quickly, but this Qiu Ye had been staying in the mansion since the princess returned to Beijing. The attitude also seems to be friendlier than others.
"Brother Jia, I heard that you went to the back kitchen to cook for the princess today?"
This rumor spread really fast. She didn't even see the firewood, and she turned into cooking when she came to them. She didn't want to explain, Situ Che just shook his head and said in frustration,
"Where, I was kicked out by sister Mingyue."
Qiu Ye didn't care, and said to himself,
"I heard that the princess likes to eat wild rice stems and bamboo shoots, but I don't know if it's true or not."
Situ Che fell silent when he heard the words, she didn't know anything else, the wild rice stems and bamboo shoots are really cold plants, the princess is so afraid of the cold, how can she eat them?If it was the real Jia Yunqing, he would go out of his way to please the princess.
"I said Jia Yunqing, have you ever heard a sentence, a gentleman stays away from the kitchen",
When the man on the opposite side heard them talking, he couldn't help being provocative. Situ Che turned over and turned his back to them.
"For those who come here, just serve the princess with peace of mind. How can there be a gentleman?"
Seeing that she didn't speak, Qiu Ye retorted for her, but these words tore away everyone's fig leaf—they all asked the princess for their own selfish desires, and the faces of the others were instantly colorful.
"I don't know if the princess will take us with her when she goes south this time",
One of them tried to avoid the topic and ease the embarrassment.
"The princess is going south to find some antidote. If she wants to take her, she will also take her guards. What can we do?"
"Speaking of this antidote, it seems that it can cure the princess's body cold and infertility."
Everyone suddenly regained their spirits. After all, it is a man, and there is a beauty like a princess by his side. Who can resist thinking about it?They made jokes about who could be the son-in-law, and their language gradually became obscene. Situ Che couldn't help feeling a little annoyed. Hearing what they said, the news that the princess was going south soon was not a secret, which would obviously bring trouble to her investigation.
Why didn't Qingfeng explain such an important matter to her?
He couldn't fall asleep listening to the obscenities, and in the middle of the night, Situ Che planned to make a quick decision and visit the princess mansion at night.
Several people were snoring one after another, except for Qiu Ye, who was breathing lightly and seemed to be a martial artist. Situ Che glanced at him, then jumped up and disappeared into the night.
During the day, she carefully observed the buildings and terrain in the mansion, and she was quite comfortable hiding from the guards. She crawled carefully under the eaves, and ordinary patrol guards would not notice the top of her head. Even if they saw her, she was wearing night clothes. It blends into the night, and ordinary people can't see it clearly.
Gently pushed open the door of the main hall, and was about to breathe a sigh of relief, the figure lying on the table seemed to move, the blood of the Major General's body suddenly rushed up, and who else could that thin figure be a princess?
Why is she sleeping here?Situ Che held his breath and listened for a while. Her breathing was shallow and even. She seemed to be in a deep sleep, but the stove in the room had already been extinguished, and there were gaps in the surrounding windows. The cold wind penetrated everywhere and filled the whole study room.
Thinking of her frail body, Situ Che used his internal strength to ignite the two rows of fires one after another without hesitation. When he walked to her side, he boldly and carefully looked at her, and saw that there were hanging on her slightly curled long eyelashes. Frost, crystal clear, kind of cute, Situ Che couldn't help smiling, and covered the slipped white fur for her, then flipped through the file lightly.
There are indeed many files here that are not in the palace, but she still hasn't found what she wants. The villages in Jiangping County are remote and inconspicuous. It must be because of this that the other party dared to start boldly. This makes the investigation difficult and cannot rely on civil servants. Senior official, then she can only borrow the power of the princess. She stared at the pile of memorials and meditated, and only quietly left the main hall when the study room was warmed up.
Almost at the same time, the people on the table opened their eyes. Zhou Nan's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and there was a little confusion. If Situ Che had been a little closer, he would not be able to leave here alive tonight.
Zhou Nan has the habit of sleeping in the study room overnight. When Situ Che came in, she didn't wake up. It was the crackling flames in the stove that woke her up. What's even more incredible is that when this man approached, her body didn't wake up. Immediately became vigilant, the dagger in her sleeve was only held by her, waiting for an opportunity to move, she looked down at the silver dagger, lost in thought.
Her goal doesn't seem to be on her own, what does she want to do?
Also, when she approached just now, I seemed to smell a faint... body fragrance?
"Princess! Princess!"
The room was filled with smog, and the precious calming incense and Rongrong heating could not soothe the slightly raised eyebrows. Mingyue called her anxiously over and over again, dense beads of sweat oozed from her forehead, and her face was pale, but she couldn't escape. Out of the claws of nightmare.
"Jia Yunqing! Bring the medicine in!"

Situ Che hurriedly opened the door in response, and stood in the middle holding the medicine, not knowing what to do. This... This seems to be the princess's boudoir.
