The lady is a boy

Wang Shizi passed by without even noticing.

Yue Mingqiao ran towards the county palace, the familiar route, the closer she got, the more her heart sank and she became more desperate.The place where the fire was on was connected to Bailan's residence, the orange flames in his eyes were flying wildly, and the crackling wood was burning.

The beams and pillars of the house collapsed, Yue Mingqiao clenched and let go of her palms, and then ran quickly.

With sharp eyes, Chen Si grabbed the man.

"Husband... Ma'am..." He glanced at Chen Si, and saw that the man shook his head.

The author has something to say:

Note: The sources of ancient poems in this article are "Shangxie", "The Book of Songs. Beifeng. Drumming", "Bu Suanzi"

27. Qingju Mountain

The fire burned all night, and there were two more rumors in Liuruan City the next day.First, the son of the county prince wrote poems for his wife in the palace, and the poems were widely circulated.Second, the county prince's mansion caught fire, and the princess concubine passed away unfortunately.

Ever since these two rumors became popular, the prince of the county seemed to have evaporated and disappeared in Liuruan City for three full months.

It's already summer, and the cicadas are singing loudly. In the remote courtyard of the county prince's mansion, the door is tightly closed.

Yue Mingqiao turned sideways, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Ah Qi approaching, "Master, it's time to eat."

Yue Mingqiao paused, taking it for granted, "I'm not hungry."

Ah Qi knelt down, this was his usual trick.The young master is soft-hearted, if he kneels a lot, he won't be able to get out of bed to eat something.

The two were silent for a while, and sure enough, the person on the bed started to move.Yue Mingqiao got up from the bed, then got out of bed to wash and eat, her face was rigid and emotionless.

"Eldest young master, young master Chang sent you another letter yesterday."

Ah Qi glanced at the piles of unopened letters on the jade table not far away. These days, Master Chang would send a letter every few days, but the young master had never read it.

Yue Mingqiao nodded, chewing slowly, "Yeah."

Ah Qi asked again, "The weather is fine today, is the young master going out?"

"No." Yue Mingqiao flatly refused.

After a brief silence, Ah Qi continued: "His Royal Highness recently sent some interesting mechanism armor, do you want to see it?"

The eldest young master has been locked up for three months. For him, it is good for him to talk more.

"Not interested in."

"The dining room made some new cakes..." Ah Qi didn't continue, Yue Mingqiao interrupted: "I'm full."

The porridge on the table was just a few casual bites, but it was much better than not having a drop of water in it a long time ago.

Ah Qi responded and cleaned up the dishes.

Yue Mingqiao got up and went to the bookshelf, took a copy of "Enlightenment", and read it deeply. This was his only pastime in the past three months.Although reading is boring, you can also think less.

Averting his gaze from the pages of the book, his eyes caught sight of the word "Qing Ya" in the pile of letters on the jade case.In addition to Chang Sheng's handwriting in the pile of letters, Qingya also sent one.Yue Mingqiao didn't remember who sent it, after all, these days he lived in a muddle and his memory wasn't very good.

After the envelope was opened, his eyes lit up briefly.

Qingya secretly investigates Bai Lan's life experience, and the result shows that Bai Lan has no trace of this person, and his identity is secret.Qing Ya also wrote that perhaps the person in the fire was not Bai Lan.

Just some stand-in.

Yue Mingqiao suddenly flashed the unrecognizable corpse burned in the sea of ​​​​fire that day, holding tightly in his hand the jade bell he sent.

It was a gift I personally gave to the great beauty.

-

Three days later, Chang Sheng came to find him.Because there was no reply to the letter he sent, and he hadn't seen this person for three consecutive months, he had to come here.

The door was tapped for a while, but no one opened it.Chang Sheng broke in, his heart tightened when he saw the boy lying on the bed, and he strode over.

"How long are you going to hide?" Chang Sheng walked to the bed condescendingly, with a complex expression, a little angry and worried, and clenched his fists tightly.

Is this person not going to take care of himself?Since he met, he has never spoken to Yue Mingqiao for three months.

The young man's face under his eyes was strange, with excessive whiteness, his lips were colorless, and he had lost a lot of weight.The looming collarbone between the robes looks abrupt, and the body seems to be crushed.

Yue Mingqiao said lightly, "Why are you here?"

"We haven't seen each other for three months, why can't I come?" Chang Sheng raised his eyebrows, if he didn't come today, maybe this person didn't plan to see him for four or five months.

For the sake of that lady, how long will she be depressed?

Yue Mingqiao responded lightly, he didn't have a clear concept of this period of time, he just felt that it passed quickly.

Chang Sheng looked at the young man with drooping eyes, his interest was extremely low, and he felt a little distressed, and his voice softened, "Let's go for a walk, Yue Mingqiao."

Since the fire, Yue Mingqiao hadn't been out of the house again, he didn't want this person to remain so depressed.

"But I don't really want to go."

"Yuemingqiao." Chang Sheng's tone changed, "You can't always be like this, she won't want to be like this."

Yue Mingqiao was in a panic, anything about Bai Lan would make him feel complicated and uncontrollable.

He took a deep breath back and forth, his eyebrows were impatient, and he was going to sleep again, "You go back."

Chang Sheng leaned over and grabbed the man's white wrist with a little force, and said in a low tone, "Yue Mingqiao, let's go."

"..." Yue Mingqiao was stunned, she had never seen Chang Sheng like this before, the two stalemate for a while, Chang Sheng didn't intend to let go.

As if he disagreed, Chang Sheng would always hold on to it.

He was weak, but still agreed, "Then wait for me for a while."

Chang Sheng heaved a sigh of relief and let go, "I'll wait for you outside."

Chang Sheng stood outside the door, and soon after, Yue Mingqiao came out wearing a blue mist shirt. He tried to smile, but his complexion was too pale, which made him look sick and not bright.

"where are we going?"

"Qingju Mountain."

Qingju Mountain was originally an undeveloped hunting ground. Later, due to its beautiful terrain and scenery, the royal family sent officials to repair it, and soon it became a place to spend summer and cool off.

Qingju Mountain was only opened to the outside world this summer, not many people knew about it, and naturally few people came.Chang Sheng thought about Yue Mingqiao's dislike of lively places at the moment, so he thought of this.

After half an hour's journey, it was almost noon when we arrived at Qingju Mountain, the sun was scorching, Yue Mingqiao's face was flushed from the sun, and he was faintly allergic to ultraviolet rays, and developed a rash.

Chang Sheng was a little surprised. After all, Yue Mingqiao had never had such symptoms before, so he had to drag someone into the pavilion to rest.

"Does it hurt?" Chang Sheng snatched the folding fan from the servant beside him and fanned the man.

Yue Mingqiao touched her face, feeling more itchiness and numbness.

The body's allergy to ultraviolet light is a matter of the previous life, and somehow it has brought it here, he shook his head, "It doesn't hurt, just rest for a while and it will be fine."

As long as you stay out of the sun, these rashes will go away after a while.

It's just that it seems that I can't climb the mountain anymore.

Chang Sheng was still worried, so he called someone to get the medicine.The two sat and waited in the pavilion, but unexpectedly the sky changed suddenly.

It was still a scorching sun just now, but suddenly it was gray, and the dark clouds were drifting here, and it seemed that it was going to rain.

Chang Sheng felt that it was obviously a wrong decision to go out today, especially when he brought Yue Mingqiao to Qingju Mountain, which was so far away.

He just wanted to let this person relax, and he didn't expect to add so many troubles in vain.The face was hurt, and the weather was against it.

But the more unfortunate thing was yet to come. The boy who was repatriated by Chang Sheng to get the medicine had never been seen. When the drizzle was about to fall, the boy still hadn't come back.

Yue Mingqiao gathered her robe, looked at the way back and frowned and asked, "Is anything wrong with him?"

"No." Chang Sheng wanted to reassure this man, and touched his face. Fortunately, the rash was much better.

Yue Mingqiao turned her face to the side unaccustomed, "Then let's wait a little longer."

"Yeah." A moment of frustration flashed in Chang Sheng's eyes, and he stood up.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the two stared at the rain in a daze.Half an hour passed, but the boy still hadn't arrived.

If it is nighttime, the temperature in the mountains will definitely be colder.

Chang Sheng glanced at Yue Mingqiao, the young man had stayed in the mansion for three months, his frail lips turned white, and he shrank into a ball silently.If you spend the night in this pavilion, you may get sick tomorrow.

"I'll bring someone over down the mountain, you wait for me."

Chang Sheng got up, Yue Mingqiao took his hand, worried: "Wait a little longer, he might be delayed on the way."

"It's just light rain. It's not like I haven't been drenched before." Chang Sheng pushed Yue Mingqiao's hand away and smiled calmly.

Yue Mingqiao wanted to say something else, but the man had jumped out into the rain, covered his head with a fan, and trotted down the mountain road.

His face was gloomy, and he stayed alone in the pavilion with his arms folded. There was nothing but the sound of rain.

In the silence, my mind couldn't help but think wildly.But he didn't want to go on like this, Yue Mingqiao found a corner and leaned against the pillar of the pavilion to sleep.

When you fall asleep, you won't think about anything.Maybe when he wakes up again, Chang Sheng should come back.

This time, she didn't sleep deeply, and the sound of the rain kept crackling beside her ears, and she couldn't tell whether it was a dream or reality, Yue Mingqiao heard the faint sound of footsteps in the water.

Eyebrows blinked, and she seemed to see a pair of black boots in a daze, "Chang Sheng?" Yue Mingqiao opened his eyes muttering, but he didn't find Chang Sheng's shadow.

The pavilion was empty, and there was nothing to look out.

Illusion?He sighed, but when he lowered his eyes, his heart stopped again. There were a bunch of footprints in the pavilion, obviously they had just been left there not long ago, stained with water stains, and not yet dry.

Has anyone been here?

"Who?"

no respond.Yue Mingqiao stood up, looking through the dark night, she couldn't see anything except the dancing shadows of the trees.

It doesn't feel good, like a poisonous snake ambushing you in the dark, it will suddenly bite you, and you can only be forced to guard against it.

Chang Sheng didn't know how long it would be before he came back. Yue Mingqiao clenched his fists and didn't want to stay in this weird place any longer. He turned his head and walked down the mountain, walking faster and faster.

No matter how much rain, before
