The bright moon sits on the ground

After recuperating in Penglai for a period of time, Po Jun stepped across Kunlun and returned to the human world.

He specially chose a time in the middle of the night, easily avoiding numerous guards, walked into the bedroom belonging to Meng Qiuze, and was greeted by a strong, bitter smell of medicine. The person on the bed closed his eyes and slept peacefully. Not disturbed by him.

Po Jun stretched out his hand, and made a tactic in mid-air, and immediately, "Meng Qiuze" quickly turned into an astrolabe, which he took back into his sleeve.

During this period of time, Meng Qiuze fell asleep more often than he was awake, so he could barely answer a few simple sentences, so he didn't attract the attention of others. After all, some people were busy taking care of Qi Qianyuan. Some people were busy discussing how to deal with the second prince. They didn't have any spare time to take care of Meng Qiuze, which gave him a rare leisure these few days.

Although there is no aura in the mortal world, Po Jun can only rely on meditation to recuperate, but at least it is better than nothing.

In the meantime,? He heard that Xu Lang also left Kunlun not long after he left, and probably went to Xiayan City to find Sanqing Xianjun.

Five days passed in a flash. On this day, at noon, Po Jun was meditating, when he heard movement outside the door.

He recognized the sound of Qi Qianyuan's footsteps, the footsteps were very stable, with a bit of weakness recovered from a long illness, which was well covered by him, and if you didn't distinguish carefully, you probably wouldn't be able to hear it, it was similar to himself, his The mind has always been elusive.

Qi Qianyuan walked through the corridor, the sun was shining, pouring on every inch of bricks and tiles, flowing all over the ground, filled with small puddles of melting water.

Walking to Meng Qiuze's door, he hid the cough between his lips and teeth, knocked on the door, paused for a moment, suppressed the sudden itching, and then opened his mouth, his voice was hoarse, calling out : "Meng Qiuze, are you awake?"

After getting a response, Qi Qianyuan pushed open the half-hidden door.The windows in the bedroom are half open, and bright sunlight pours in through the gaps. The bright yellow soft blanket is spread all over the floor, forcing the shadows to the corner. There is a faint fragrance of medicine in the air. Every time he goes Walking a step further, the smell became more and more obvious. After so many days, Qi Qianyuan was used to the smell and would not feel uncomfortable.

He thought, it was obvious that his injury was more serious. He could walk now, but Meng Qiuze was still lying on the bed.

After thinking about it again, Meng Qiuze's body was already weak. It was incredible that he was able to pass through many obstacles and successfully pass the news to Liuguang Mansion in the rainstorm. Perhaps it was because he was holding his breath, so he waited until After he relaxed, his body completely collapsed. After all, there was no need to be harsh, so Qi Qianyuan didn't continue to delve into the matter.

Qi Qianyuan opened the curtain, took the string, and tied it aside, lowered his eyes slightly, and looked at the person on the bed.

The sick child was nestled in the quilt, his complexion was not very good, but he still had a bit of blood, which was much better than the situation of the previous few days described by the maidservant. After hearing the movement, the eyes with slightly different pupil colors slanted Come over and give him a sly look.

"Do you feel better now?" Qi Qianyuan rolled up his cuffs and checked the temperature on his forehead, it wasn't very hot.

He was also sick in bed before, and he occasionally heard about Meng Qiuze's situation from the doctor, saying that since he returned to Liuguang Mansion, he had been suffering from high fevers, seldom awake, and often lethargic. He didn't say a word, as if he had been burned stupidly, his eyes were dull and out of focus, which frightened the doctor, who thought he was going to die.

When Qi Qianyuan heard this, he really broke into a cold sweat for Meng Qiuze. Unfortunately, he was too busy to take care of himself at that time, and he couldn't come to visit Meng Qiuze in person, so he could only hear from the doctor that Meng Qiuze had a fever, and the fever subsided, and then he had a fever, and then the fever subsided again, and so on. repeatedly.

At least, he didn't want the person he entrusted his life to die of a silent and silent disease, and it was still caused by him.

So when Qi Qianyuan was able to walk on the ground, even though he was still a little weak, he still came to visit Meng Qiuze.

Meng Qiuze replied with a sullen "hmm", vaguely, and didn't make it clear whether it was better or worse.

Qi Qianyuan said again: "I heard about you from other people... Do you want to know my experience at that time?"

Meng Qiuze turned his head to the side, put on a look of disinterest, and said, "I don't want to know." He also wanted to check on Meng Qiuze's physical condition, Qi Qianyuan thought, looking at it this way, he felt that Meng Qiuze had recovered better than the doctor said. It's much better, at least he still has the energy to put on a face with him, making such an indifferent look, considering that Meng Qiuze's illness is not fully recovered, and in view of all the efforts he has made before, Qi Qianyuan decided not to get along with him. He cares.

"If you feel very tired now, you have to get up and eat something to fill your stomach first, and then continue to sleep." Qi Qianyuan called the maid, and after a few instructions, he pulled out a wooden chair from the side with ease, and took it from the attendant. After studying the ink, he flipped through the folded papers on the spot. Seeing his posture, Meng Qiuze also knew that he would not leave for a while.

For a moment, only the sound of Qi Qianyuan flipping the book was left in the bedroom, it was slow and soft, making the noon daylight very long.

Not long after, the servant girl knocked on the door and filed in with a light meal in her hand. Meng Qiuze glanced at it, and saw that it was all boiled porridge and white and green side dishes. It is for those who have been ill for a long time.

The maid helped Meng Qiuze up, gently scraped the porcelain spoon around the mouth of the bowl, cooled the hot porridge, picked a few slices of green vegetables, and handed them to his lips, then Meng Qiuze coughed twice and shook his head , took the bowl and spoon from her.

Meng Qiuze doesn't have any requirements for food, as this kind of cooked food tastes similar to him.

The young maid stood awkwardly for a while, and after catching Qi Qianyuan's eyes, she retreated respectfully.

Meng Qiuze slowly chewed the fragrance between his lips and teeth, and looked up at Qi Qianyuan who was not far away. He was flipping through the folder with a normal expression, but his eyes suddenly froze. He pulled out a stack of thick letters from the middle, and saw the words on it. After that, he was not surprised.

After swallowing the porridge, Meng Qiuze opened his lips and asked, "Whose letter?"

Qi Qianyuan opened it and said, "Qi Yao's letter."

After hearing this name, Meng Qiuze remembered who the girl he saw that day was.Qi Qianyuan mentioned it to him, but he didn't have time to take care of others at that time, so he didn't think about it. Looking back now, Qi Yao should be Qi Qianyuan's cousin, the daughter of the mistress Hesheli, the elder brother is the left minister, and the uncle is the town The generals of the country are all over the family, including civil servants and military generals.

The imperial court has undergone several changes, and the imperial power has changed hands several times, but the Hesheli family has stood still as before, and has not been affected at all.

Qi Yao's grandmother was married to the Qi family, which involved a lot of past events in the past. After all, the current Hesheli family belongs to the imperial court, and the Hesheli family asked Qi Yao to change her name and surname to show her sincerity and send her to the imperial court. City, grew up with these princes.

When Meng Qiuze appeared, Qi Qianyuan was already far away from the imperial city, so naturally he had never seen Qi Yao.

Although she was a little girl and her name was changed, Qi Yao was actually the most beloved one of the Hesheli family. The bargaining chip made those elders feel pity for her.It is no exaggeration to say that Qi Yao wants to pick up the stars and the moon, and the Hersheys will try their best to get them for her, just to please her.

With Qi Yao's status, she is naturally the object of everyone's vying to please.

Most of the time, she doesn't have to do anything, as long as she raises her hand, someone will give her what she wants.

Once, Qi Yao went to listen to a little song alone, and rested on the soft cushion for a while. When she left the pear garden, a jade hairpin slipped from her hair, and her long hair was loose. A few strands hung down softly and stuck to her temples between.She didn't know, so she just went back to the palace with a natural expression and a dignified and generous demeanor, until the maid was washing her up, and accidentally asked her why she thought of letting her hair loose today, and she looked in the bronze mirror, only then did she know that the jade hairpin had fallen , couldn't help laughing, thinking it was a joke.

The next day, Qi Yao received a hairpin from Liyuan. She didn't care if the hairpin would be lost, so she put it down casually, went on a cruise, stepped out of the palace gate, and found that most of the girls passing by were loose. Long hair, a bit of imitation.

She unintentionally disheveled her hair, and the girls in the imperial city also let down their long hair; she unintentionally knocked over the ink, stained the skirt, and splashed into a sprinkling of rivers and mountains, and the girls in the imperial city scattered their hair. Also pour the ink on the skirt.

Qi Yao is such a strange woman who has never been seen before, even if it is an unintentional act, others can imitate it.

And what Meng Qiuze heard from Qi Qianyuan was basically about the correspondence between them. Even though Qi Qianyuan chose to leave the imperial city and hide his strengths, it did not mean that he completely gave up on the relationship with the Hesheli family. .

Fortunately, Qi Yao had a good impression of Qi Qianyuan because of several coincidences when she was a child. Not only did she keep in touch with him for so many years, but she occasionally mentioned the situation in the imperial city in her letters. know.

It wasn't that Meng Qiuze wanted to see it on purpose, but that Qi Qianyuan was too open and didn't hide it at all, which made him see it clearly.

On the first piece of thin rice paper, there is a line of big characters written, the strokes are chic, but the content is very restrained, pitiful.

"Fifth Brother, I apologize to you"——that's what Qi Yao wrote.

Meng Qiuze felt that he had almost finished eating, so he put down the bowl and spoon in his hand and asked, "Why does she want to apologize to you?"

"This has to start with my experience at the time. Don't you want to know?" Qi Qianyuan said casually, and skillfully uncovered the layer of rice paper. Sure enough, the second prince's handle was written on the bottom paper. Most of his attendants didn't know when Qi Yao stuffed this thing into the booklet. After all, as long as Qi Yao wanted to, there was nothing she couldn't do.

Meng Qiuze was silent for a moment, and then he heard Qi Qianyuan say: "Brother Second Emperor wants to put me to death because of a marriage contract."

"Qi Yao told me in advance that she wanted to prepare a little surprise for me..." he said, "She mentioned this to her father, and then asked several powerful officials in the family to persuade her for a while. Yao was related by blood, and the emperor had to let go, saying that he would tell the world about it after I returned to the imperial city. Qi Yao heard that I was going to pass through the Liuguang Mansion, so she decided to come and get together with me, by the way Also tell me about this matter, but I'm afraid she didn't expect the second brother to be able to put eyeliner beside the father."

This is indeed a blessing in misfortune, Qi Qianyuan thought, with the support of the Hesheli family, it would be even more powerful. It is no wonder that the second emperor brother is determined to let him die on the way back to the imperial city.He kept a low profile and kept it secret for so many years, because a marriage letter suddenly became the target of public criticism overnight. Although he was not used to this feeling, he would eventually get used to it.

He remembered that shortly after he woke up, Qi Yao came to visit him and retreated, leaving only the two of them in the room.

After listening to the ins and outs of the whole incident, Qi Qianyuan moved his lips, wanting to say that Qi Yao was messing around, but when the words came to his lips, he still couldn't get out.Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Qi Yao's decision was not a whim. Choosing a prince who is not favored and whose mother and concubine has no status, most people must think that she is just doing it according to her own whims and can't do it for real.

She has better options.Qi Qianyuan knew that even his own father would think so when he heard this.

"I know how you have lived for so many years, and I also know that your current power is only comparable to that of the second brother." Qi Yao blew away the layer of tea leaves, and her voice became indistinct, "But , fifth brother, you should be very clear that the Hesheli family has been able to survive for several generations, not only because of a strong background, but also because of judging the situation and picking people."

She continued: "I was not sent to the imperial city to be a chess piece that can be discarded at will."

Qi Qianyuan stared at Qi Yao, maybe they were too close, so he could guess what she was going to say next.

"If you want power, I can give it to you." Sure enough, Qi Yao said, "I bet on you, fifth brother."

Qi Qianyuan easily accepted the fact that he was engaged to be married, even though most of them didn't feel much about this marriage.His throat was sore, it was the pain he felt after a cold rain, so Qi Qianyuan took it easy for a while, cleared his throat, and then uttered a sentence: "Then, what do you want?" What do you get from me?"

"I want a hundred years later, the girls of the Hershey family can still choose who they want to choose, instead of being drawn on paper by those court painters and presented for people to pick and choose." Qi Yao smiled lightly. He smiled and said, "I promise, from the moment His Majesty announces this matter to the moment you give up the imperial power, the Hershey family will dedicate their loyalty to you."
