The first work of the imperial prison

The summer rain comes suddenly, sweeping away the boredom and impetuosity of the previous days, and bringing a slight chill. The raindrops hit the eaves and land on the stone platform, washing out the window cleanly. If you don’t need to go out, you won’t be stained by the rain. Wet shoes and socks, sitting in the room to enjoy the rain is a very pleasant thing, as if the days have been long and peaceful.

"Cough cough cough-"

Ye Baiting hugged the thin quilt, coughing so loudly.

There is no way, his body is still not good, it's just that the cold and heat alternately, when the summer rains first came, he caught cold, and started to have a fever at night, not to mention Qiu Yiqing was startled, the lights in the entire Beizhen Fusi were on, Shen Jiang Ye ran back and forth in the rain, and came to see it several times. If the old doctor hadn't confirmed again and again that he just caught the wind and cold accidentally, there was no serious problem. They might have an audience overnight and invited the imperial doctor here before the imperial court.

Of course Ye Baishao couldn't sit still, she would come to visit twice a day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, and each time she brought a new dish that she made, for fear that her younger brother would not like it and would refuse to eat anything.

Ye Baiting was very cooperative at first, her sister said that she didn't know how to cook, everything became delicious and cute in her hands, but no matter how delicious and cute things were eaten for several days, it was inevitable that they would be a little...

"It's white again..."

He glanced at the open food box, and lay back under the quilt like a salted fish: "I'm not hungry, really."

If it wasn't for the silly brother in front of her, Ye Baishao would have slapped him. In fact, she had already started, but she stopped halfway, and finally rubbed her brother's head lightly: "What's wrong with Baiwei? Nutritious and healthy, the most beneficial to health! With your complexion and stomach, you still want to eat spicy food? Are you afraid that the disease will get worse and you won’t be able to cure it later? There are no other dishes, only these, give it to me!"

While she was talking, she brought in the small square table, moved up the dishes one by one, and put the bowls and chopsticks on them.

Ye Baiting tightened her quilt: "Sister is so fierce..."

Ye Baishao crossed her fingers, moved her fingers and wrist joints, and smiled very nicely and gently: "I can be more aggressive, do you want?"

"...No."

Ye Baiting obediently got up and ate.

With Qiu Yiqing here, he can still act coquettishly, but when my sister has made up her mind, she can't do anything... There is no choice but to pick up the chopsticks and eat.

With just one bite, he knew that these dishes were prepared with a lot of thought. They looked bland, and I didn’t know how many steps were used to stimulate the fragrance of the ingredients themselves. After two more bites, his appetite was whetted. Slowly, he also finished a bowl of rice .

Ye Baishao didn't persuade him to eat more, and didn't want to let his younger brother support him. It's fine to eat less, as long as it's enough for his body to nourish himself, but he can't stop eating. She is quite satisfied with the current level.

"Okay, wait a little longer, and you can drink the medicine."

drink medicine...

Ye Baiting was in love for a moment. For a cold, he could take medicine for seven days and take medicine for a week. If he had immunity, he would definitely recover in a few days. There was really no need to drink those bitter soups!

But in this matter, no one listened to him at all, even Shen Jiang, who always looked at his face and only followed his lead, was unwilling to help him deceive people, and even made a small report in front of Qiu Xunqing, saying, " The young master didn't take any medicine today, so the commander hastened to force him!

Ye Baishao cleared the table: "Go to sleep for a while, wake up later, it's just in time."

Ye Baiting didn't want to sleep at first, but as soon as he lay down, listening to the sound of rain outside, his eyelids became heavy unconsciously...

Ye Baishao came out with the food box, and saw Qiu Yiqing standing at the door with his hands behind his back.

He was wearing a dark blue robe, the hem of his clothes was wet, and his face was as expressionless as ever, but the water stains under his feet wet the ground, and the color was particularly dark. It can be seen that he has been here for a long time. Maybe the stupid brother came when he resisted eating, but Never went in.

There was a faint cyan under his eyes, and his temples were slightly wet. He must have been running outside for a long time, and he must be tired now, but the door frame was so close, he didn't even want to lean against it for help.

Hearing footsteps behind him, he turned around and nodded slightly: "Thank you, sister."

Ye Baishao shook her head: "I don't have to work hard, but I walk twice a day, and the distance is not far away, but you...why don't you go into the house?"

The blue eyes of hatred lowered slightly: "If I go in, I'm afraid he won't be able to eat well."

After being quiet for a long time, Ye Baishao sighed: "My brother is self-willed, causing trouble to the commander."

Let people know how to be ashamed, act like a spoiled child, and let people avoid suspicion!Silly brother, how can you pursue others like this!It's not at all powerful, it's fine to be elegant and dignified, and let others know your shortcomings, how can people who hook you like you!

Ye Baishao looked at Qiu Yiqing, and felt a little distressed. If it is hard work, who can compare with the hard work in front of him?There was so much noise outside, the movements of the missions changed day by day, and the tide was surging in the dark. Even her husband was busy outside, and sometimes they couldn't go home. Can this one take it easy?

The silly brother continued to make troubles.

But no matter how stupid my younger brother is, he's still my younger brother, so I can't turn my elbows out. Commanding and making it hard... let's work hard, my younger brother has made a lot of contributions anyway, hasn't he?Being sick is not what I want, so I can't call it blind, coquettish.

Ye Baishao felt bad, she had to help her younger brother, it would be even better if he could keep him, she began to think quickly in her heart.

"My younger brother, my mother had a bad pregnancy when she was pregnant with him. He looked like a cat when he was born. Before he was two years old, he always liked to get sick. His body was small and delicate. Our family was worried, so we had to keep an eye on him. Tight, tell outsiders, even if he is spoiled, it’s not what A Ting wants, isn’t it? How uncomfortable to be sick, he is so delicate, so he doesn’t want to be sick, it hurts here, and it’s uncomfortable there.”

"He has been like this since he was a child. He is afraid of the cold in winter and the heat in summer. He has toss around every time the season changes. He must always pay attention to it, but it doesn't matter. It's just a bitter summer. Eat less cold food and rest for a few days. It's over, there won't be much delay, since he's quite capable, don't the commander despise him?"

"How could it be?" Qiu Yiqing said solemnly, "I need him very much."

It's just this need, what the two sides express and what they understand are not consistent.

But it doesn't matter, as long as Ye Baishao achieves his goal, he smiled and said: "Then I will have the commander to help take care of it? Ah Ting just finished eating, and now he is asleep, and he has to take medicine later. I'm a bit busy today, so I can't stay longer, so I'm leaving."

Qiu Xun Qingjiao stepped sideways and gave way to the road: "Please, Ah Ting...here, you don't have to worry."

"Thank you then."

Ye Baishao carried the food box and walked away very satisfied, feeling that she had hidden merit and fame.

……

Ye Baiting didn't know how long he slept, he was drowsy, he just felt that this sleep was extremely long, and he was a little tired, he didn't want to sleep anymore, but he just couldn't open his eyes.

He heard the rain outside stop and fall, stop and stop, back and forth, there was no sound outside the window, even the footsteps of Jin Yiwei's shift were very light, he didn't know when the guard changed, when who left, when who come over.

He was woken up and given medicine, and after an unknown amount of time, he was woken up again, eating in a daze, and then repeated the above process, something always came to his mouth, either medicine, or rice, or porridge...

Sometimes he knew that his sister was beside him, and sometimes he knew it was Qiu Yiqing without even opening his eyes.

Because other than this person, no one else would use that method... to feed him bitter soup.

When I woke up again, it was already a certain afternoon, the sun was shining outside the window, there was a breeze blowing, the bead curtains were slightly rolled, and there was no rain, damp and cold breath, a little hot, but not dry, and it was very comfortable to stay in the room.

Ye Baiting felt comfortable all over, and when he opened his eyes, he was very awake, and his whole body was completely revived.

Turning his head slightly, he saw Qiu Yiqing.This man was sitting on a small table next to him, with documents spread out in front of him, holding a brush in his right hand, and quickly wrote instructions on the rice paper. There were blue veins on the back of his hand slightly bulging, and the writing was crisp and neat.

No matter how you look at it, it is very beautiful, even the silhouette in the light is very handsome.

Qiu Xunqing has been busy here for half a day, and she habitually looks back from time to time. Xiao Zuo has been sleeping very quietly, but this time when she looks back, she is no longer the obedient and distressed sleeping face she used to be. Eyes opened.

"woke up?"

Qiu Yiqing was startled, put down the brush in his hand, picked up the teapot next to him, poured a cup of warm water, and handed it to Ye Baiting.

"I do not……"

Just as he was about to say he wasn't thirsty, he heard his own voice hoarse and unpleasant, Ye Baiting didn't refuse any more, and just finished drinking the glass of warm water with Qiu Xingqing's hand.

He was very relieved when he drank it, as if he knew that Qiu Yiqing's hand would not let him choke, his eyes did not look down at all, staring at the teacup, but kept lifting slightly to look at Qiu Yiqing's face.

Time seems to be elongated at this moment, the young man's eyes are clean and clear, like a pool of spring water, the bright moon cannot be reflected in, the peach blossoms cannot fly in, and he can only live in the sweetheart in front of him.

He also stretched out his finger and hooked the corner of the hated Tsing Yi...

Qiu Yiqing put the teacup aside, and held down the dishonest hand: "Don't act like a baby."

Ye Baiting bent her eyes, straightened her waist, and bullied her: "But I want to kiss you."

"You're sick."

Qiu Yiqing palmed his waist, the veins on the back of his hand were slightly bulging, it seemed that he had endured a lot of hard work, the little butt was too skinny, and he leaned over with too much strength, in order not to hurt the opponent, it was inconvenient to use too much strength, and instead was caught The opponent succeeded and rode on him.

"you dislike me?"

How could it be possible to dislike it... fingertips caressed the not-so-thick summer clothing, and the blue eyes of hatred slightly closed: "If you don't want to get worse, be good."

Ye Baiting smiled, he already knew how to deal with this man, hinting that it is not impossible, this dog man will definitely understand, but he will definitely bear it, why don't you just...be more direct.

He leaned even closer, leaving the two of them vaguely, "Don't you want to kiss me?"

Qiu Suiqing: ...

Ye Baiting feels that he has a bit of a bad taste, and he likes to see the dog man struggling left and right because of him, the stronger the man, the more touching the way he restrains himself...

Of course he is arrogant.

If you tease each other like this in normal times, you can't help but be held down by this dog man and clean up hard, but because you are sick now, this dog man is worried about his health, and it is impossible to pull him to indulge in sex. , when?

Of course, he has also considered the problem of wind and cold infection. These days, Qiu Xunqing has been taking care of him personally. He basically does not rely on other people's affairs around him. He has no contact with others day and night. Qiu Xunqing is fine. After a few days, I have almost recovered. Now I wake up and feel comfortable everywhere. There is nothing wrong. I can have a good time...

Not only was Ye Baiting's mouth flabbergasted, but her fingers also moved, dishonestly going in the wrong direction, her blue eyes of hatred darkened, and her voice became slightly hoarse: "...don't move any more."

But how could Ye Baiting listen to him, and pushed him down: "I want to."

As a result of Qiu Yiqing not daring to exert force on the little butcher, he was suppressed by the little butcher, and lay back on the couch, with messed up clothes, messed up breathing, and under the swaying sunlight, he looked a bit pitiful.

Ye Baiting was even more satisfied, she bowed her head and kissed him.

Slow and provocative.

Not only did he do this big thing, but he still kept talking: "Didn't you say you want the gift of 'me'? Why don't you dare to move now, huh? Our commander...isn't it okay?"

Qiu Yiqing's hand clasped around Xiao Wuzuo's waist increased strength, and the veins on the back of his hand protruded: "Do you know that the treasure hidden in the deepest part of the Treasure Pavilion... is not good, and it will also be punished."

Ye Baiting understands that even respect has a limit and needs the help of the environment. If the beast is lured out of the gate, he can't help it, and of course he will be punished.

But at this moment, he was not afraid at all, and smiled: "How does the commander want to deal with me, and where does he want to deal with me? Here...or here?"

The blue eyes of hatred ignited raging wild fire: "I think you owe—"

Just as he was turning over, a voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"Is Ah Ting feeling better today?"

It is Paeoniae Alba.Because I am used to coming here in the past few days, the guards and soldiers on duty outside did not specifically ask for notification and waiting. She came here very smoothly. If the door was closed, she might knock again, but the door is half open, so there is no defense at all. It means that she is of course more at ease, just like a few days ago, Gu Zi opened the door and went in, chatting lively while walking in.

"Are you being coquettish and willful, refusing to eat? My sister brought you delicious food... yo."

Damn, she seems to have come at the wrong time!What are these two people doing!How did my younger brother hold down the commander, ride on him, and still get so close!

Two people in the room: ...

Ye Baiting reacted quickly, and immediately sat down obediently, and kicked Qiu Yiqing, smiling like a gentleman, not rude at all: "Sister made me something delicious?"

Ye Baishao: ...

Do you think that if you pretend nothing happened, nothing really happened!

My sister wanted to help you make things right, but the poor conductor had such a mighty and strong figure, because he was worried about hurting his stupid brother, he cooperated with his stupid brother's strength, and his body slipped to the side, almost falling to the ground!

If it wasn't for his high martial arts skills, agility, and ability to adjust his posture without losing his handsome looks, he would be kicked like a shit by you!

It's all like this, you pretend nothing happened, and let me pretend to be blind, so I can't see anything!

Fortunately, the Commander is a good person who knows how to deal with scenes. He collected the pile of official documents on the table with lowered eyes, picked them up and walked out: "The documents have been approved. I'll go and see if there are any new ones."

Ye Baishao naturally moved out of the way: "The commander has worked hard."

Qiu Yiqing nodded slightly and turned out the door.

Watching the person leaving from the back, Ye Baishao looked at his stupid younger brother, heartbroken: "Where did you learn these hooligan methods, how can you bully others like this! Intimacy has to be done step by step, you haven't spent time yet. The month before last, let me tell you my heart, if you do this directly, you won't be afraid of people pushing you aside? Thanks to the fact that the Commander is a gentleman, otherwise I don't know how to deal with you as a disciple!"

Ye Baiting was in a daze.

It seems... also, the posture just now, the angle from which my sister came in, didn't she just see him bullying with hatred?Did you also see the performance of Qiu Yiqing's forbearance and restraint?

It's a pity that my sister doesn't know how doggy this dog man is. Qiu Xunqing is the wildest one. He almost, almost...

Ye Baishao frowned, and looked at her younger brother: "Tell me honestly, are you taking advantage of your illness to sneak up on the commander and make him care about your health and make it difficult to deal with you?"

It was my elder sister who understood him and had a tacit understanding, Ye Baiting changed his mind, explained what explanation, and simply accepted: "But he didn't resist, he must like me."

Ye Baishao's eyes widened: "It's inconvenient for him to slap you with a palm and beat you to death!"

Ye Baiting: "He dare not, he is reluctant."

Ye Baishao: ...

"You have skills now, and they are indeed useful to Jin Yiwei, but you can't do this," the elder sister was worried, "If you can abduct people and make them like you, it will be a good thing, but what kind of temper do you have? If you are too stubborn Come, but there is no good fruit to eat..."

"...Are you cured?"

My sister is such a delicate person, and she knows her brother's illness habits like the back of the palm of her hand, including the little brother's petty eyes. After thinking about it, she decided that it was impossible. With a serious face, she pushed her brother onto the bed and covered her with a quilt: "No, I can't get better now. You have to pretend for another two days, so the commander will see you weak and uncomfortable, and it will be difficult to settle accounts with you!"

Ye Baiting: ...

It's really my own sister, who is facing my younger brother.

"Sister," Ye Baiting lowered his eyes, "If one day I make him like me and I want to marry him, will you be angry?"

"Why should I be angry?"

Ye Baishao glanced at the silly younger brother inexplicably: "You have worked so hard to take down the man, but the other party is still the commander, isn't that a good thing?"

"……Um."

"I heard that you've even thought about the engagement wine." Ye Baishao looked around and lowered her voice, "I saw just now, the commander is not so cold and hard, he seems to have a thing or two for you." It's different, you can come here steadily, don't be too impulsive, what's the most important thing about feelings?

While eagerly teaching her younger brother, she repeatedly emphasized that she should not be anxious about this point, because the commander seems to be very busy recently, and her family members are all running around with some things outside, and they don't care much about home. At this time, they talk about love Some are inappropriate, why not wait for the busy period to pass, and then cultivate...

Ye Baiting said that she was very persuasive, so she followed what her sister said!

The two siblings had a heart-to-heart talk and were very satisfied. Seeing that it was getting late, Ye Baishao got up and left.

Coincidentally, when he was leaving, he met Qiu Yiqing again, Ye Baishao said a lot of good things, and praised his younger brother, saying that he was just naive and playful, but in fact his heart was very good, and he also said that the commander had a big heart , can accommodate hundreds of rivers, the future will be smooth, and the blessings will last forever...

Qiu Xunqing didn't understand, so she came in and asked the little girl, "What's wrong with my sister?"

Ye Baiting lazily drank tea with his hands in his hands: "Maybe he knows that our good news is about to come, and he has another good brother."

Qiu Suiqing: ...

Little things are used to coaxing people.

He walked over and took the teacup from Ye Baiting's hand: "You are sick, don't drink too much tea or something."

Ye Baiting lifted the quilt directly: "I'm already healed!"

"Ok?"

Qiu Yiqing looked at the person in front of him, recalling the past, his eyes narrowed dangerously, and the color of his eyes became darker and darker.

Ye Baiting: ...

It's over, I didn't pay attention for a while, the car overturned!

He hurriedly shrank back: "Then what, even if the illness is cured, it will be cured. This illness comes like a mountain, and it goes like a thread... You can't bully me!"

It was quiet for a long time, and the voice of hatred seemed to sigh: "Who is bullying whom?"

Seeing this expression, Ye Baiting felt relieved and pointed to the tea on the table: "Then I want to drink that, and you can refill it for me."

Qiu Yiqing really gave him a crush: "Otherwise, I'll let the twins come to accompany you more in the future and urge you to exercise."

I knew it wasn't going so well!The commander is the big black-bellied fox!

Ye Baiting coughed twice: "No, I don't need to go to the battlefield, and I won't be injured."

"But you'll be fine."

"I know, I know," Ye Baiting wanted to fool, "I will play with them."

Qiu Xunqing knew what kind of thoughts were turning in his eyes: "You better know, if you really encounter something in the future—"

"You just have to remember it carefully," Ye Baiting cut off his words directly, turning his back on the customer, "Doing those dangerous things outside every day, it used to be forgotten, it was your own business, but now I still have a share, if you dare to get hurt , see how I deal with you!"

The room was silent for a long time.

Qiu Xunqing actually liked this kind of thing, stopped talking, and patted Ye Baiting's head: "...OK."

Ye Baiting felt that the atmosphere was a bit embarrassing, so he lowered his head to drink tea, and turned to the main business: "Is the matter of the Oirat mission finished now?"

"The general framework has been set, and the detailed rules are going through the process. When to release people and when to return, they will not follow their requirements."

"Well... Although this case is closed, it seems that Bi Zhenghe colluded with Lu Ming and swallowed the money, but he hasn't accounted for it yet? Where did he go? Can it be found?"

Ye Baiting murmured, Bi Zhenghe obviously cooperated with the Oirat Mission, at least in the matter of 'finding General An', they colluded and allowed the mission to enter Beijing, and all movements were basically under the supervision of Jin Yiwei. , It is impossible not to find out, he feels that this money probably has nothing to do with the Wala people, and it will probably fall on the third prince.

The eighth prince and the third prince have some contacts and cooperation, is this also one of the cooperation chains?

Qiu Xunqing: "Not completely sure yet, but the things in my hand can already tell that it is probably in this direction."

Ye Baiting thought for a while, and then asked: "Where is He Yiming? Did you explain anything more?"

He is someone trusted by the Third Prince, so there must be something he didn't vomit.

"He was very lucky. He fell seriously ill when he entered the imperial prison, and the torture room didn't dare to resort to methods immediately. During this period, he began to pry slowly," Qiu Xunqing said, "It won't be long, and we will have new gains."

This person behaved a little contradictory, perhaps because he had been specially encouraged, planted special seeds in his heart, kept some things secret, that is to say, or was too ashamed, did not want to face his true self, refused to accept reality... In short , have to grind.

"My father's case can't be waited for... What about Mrs. Cai? She went back to her hometown, but did she find Ying Puxin's letter?"

"It is being sorted out and will be sent to us one after another. It will take time."

"Ying Puxin..." Ye Baiting recalled that when he and Qiu Yiqing had an awkward dispute, Shen Jiang was assigned to hint to him with a secret letter with a crescent moon painted on it, "Is this person still alive? Your spy?"

At that time, he still thought, why did the commander ask for such a confidential thing so easily? Did he have a good relationship with General An?

Qiu Yiqing thought for a while and said, "Those secret letters are indeed from the same person who wanted to help me put down the chaos. I haven't met him personally, but looking at the clues... it's almost inseparable."

"He's really alive!"

"perhaps."

"Then why doesn't he look for Mrs. Cai? He and his wife have such a good relationship, they can write a lot of love letters after being separated for a few days..."

"Then it's up to us to find the answer."

There must be a very secret or unavoidable reason.

Ye Baiting pondered: "What shall we do next? Is there anything new to be investigated?"

Anyway, don't be idle.

"Yes." Qiu Yiqing thought for a moment, and said, "Brother-in-law has found a person. He is an imperial merchant. It is very important, but this person has disappeared for several days, and he seems to have disappeared."
