The moment he realized what it was, it was as if the fire had been rubbed to generate heat, and it spread all over his body in an instant. It was horribly hot. Ci Ke hurriedly fed the medicine, and then stood up, covering his lips.

Ye Youqing lay down softly, the wound touched the bed, and Dai's eyebrows, which were stained with fine sweat, frowned slightly.

Ci Ke forgot to breathe for a moment, the touch on her lips was still there, she stood there blankly, then quickly stepped forward and lifted Ye Youqing again to avoid pressing the wound.

She seemed to be on fire from head to toe, and her heart was not only throbbing, it was almost jumping out of her throat. She picked up the medicine bowl again, hesitated for a while, but didn't know how to feed it.

Fortunately, Ma Xiao knocked on the door at this time, and the strong woman walked in, and said with a smile: "Young escort ordered me to come and see Miss Ye, how the medicine is doing."

"Why is the girl's face so red?" Ma Xiao was a little surprised, and reached out to take the bowl from Ci Ke's hand.

"It's okay, it's a little hot." Ci Ke wiped the remaining medicinal juice on his lips, for fear of being noticed by others, "She was unconscious and refused to drink it."

Fortunately, Ma Xiao was not a careful person, so he smiled and waved his hand to signal Ke to help Ye Youqing steady, and then sat beside Ye Youqing.

"It's really sweltering here, and it's not like a rich family has ice to cool down, so I can only be wronged to fan the girl." She pinched Ye Youqing's jaw and forced her to open her mouth.

She didn't need a spoon, she took the bowl and poured it into Ye Youqing's mouth. Seeing that Ye Youqing was about to vomit, she immediately let go and covered Ye Youqing's mouth. The two struggled for a while, and Ye Youqing swallowed the mouthful of decoction up.

With the hand removed, there were five finger prints on the fair cheek.

Ci Ke felt distressed when he saw it, and couldn't help touching his eyebrows, but was pushed away by young general Ma: "Girl, don't worry, I think we used to pour Qingshu soup like this when we were walking in the darts, and it took half a stick of incense to fill two large bowls. .”

After speaking, she stretched out her hand to continue, and it was exactly as she said, but after three or five strokes, a bowl of soup and medicine was drained.

"Okay, Miss Fang Ye has to lie down for a while. She just lost consciousness due to excessive blood loss and fear of pain. She should wake up tomorrow." Ma Xiaole said, "By the way, the young bodyguard just said, please see her."

Ci Ke looked at Ye Youqing worriedly for a while, wiped off the medicine on her face, and then stood up, thanking her.

After tossing and tossing for a long time, the scorching sun outside the house had already set to the west, Shi Li was wearing coarse linen clothes, and looked like a man in the rivers and lakes, sitting in the courtyard full of stench, and was polishing a long sword with a table as hard as a millstone.

The courtyard is filled with the sound of iron tools and stones rubbing against each other, coupled with the bloody smell of slaughtered pigs, it is appropriate for the occasion.

Ci Ke stepped forward and sat down on the side of Shili.

"Did Xiaoqing drink the medicine?" Shili asked, looking up.

"I drank it, but I'm still asleep," Ci Ke said.

Shili stared at her for a while, then took out a handkerchief from his pocket, frowned and handed it to Ci Ke.

Ci Ke was a little dazed, touched his face, felt a few dried blood clots, and then suddenly realized that he was only focused on cleaning up Ye Youqing, but forgot that his face was also splashed with blood.

She rubbed her face with a handkerchief to cover up her flushed cheeks.

"How do you plan for the future? Go back to the palace, or stay." Shili asked while blowing off the dust on the sword.

"I don't know." There was a moment of struggle on Ci Ke's face, she took out the willow leaf hairpin that was broken in two from her sleeve, and rubbed it to wipe off the blood.

Just now, when she saw Ye Youqing's accident, her fear surged again, and she knew how much she was worried about Ye Youqing.

"Since getting rid of Qin Wang, the emperor seems to be wary of his aunt. Although he still takes care of her, it's like raising a bird, giving him the most luxurious cage in the world, the best food, just watching. "

"But the doubts about her are also obvious. He no longer stays in the Qiushui Palace. Even if he enters the palace for meals, the shadow guard will never leave him. He smiles and treats her well on weekdays, but his attitude in private often plummets, and he reprimands him coldly." Ci Ke He bowed his head and said, "So I'm afraid that one day my aunt will..."

"It's normal for the emperor to doubt her, and it's normal for Qin Wang's matter to be pushed behind her back." Shi Li rubs his sword slowly.

"I don't know what else I can do, so I want to be by her side, but now Ye Youqing..." Ci Ke said, his voice was silent, only his eyes were still fixed on the greasy stone table in front of him.

Shili opened his mouth as if wanting to comfort him, and finally swallowed his words, and touched Ci Ke's heart with the scabbard beside him, half of his eyebrows and eyes were covered by scattered light brown hair.

"Everything can't be both. Just do whatever you want," Shili said.

Suddenly there were a few cries of pain after eating in the room, Ci Ke dropped the handkerchief, got up and ran towards the hut quickly, followed by Shili.

The two broke into the house, only to see Ma Xiao holding gauze in his hand, with a mournful face, turning around to look at the two of them.

"What?" Shili hurriedly asked.

"Young Escort, I didn't do anything." Ma Xiao raised his hands, "It's just the time, it's time to change the medicine."

Shili breathed a sigh of relief, watching Ma Xiao continue to apply a yellow ointment to Ye Youqing's wound, but Ye Youqing groaned a few more times, his eyebrows frowned, and sweat rolled down.

Shi Li hurriedly reached out his hand to stop him: "Don't break my apprentice with your hand that smelts iron all day long."

Ma Xiao rubbed the back of his head and smiled shyly, got up and gave up his seat to Shi Li, Shi Li was about to step forward, but was pulled back by Ci Ke behind him.

"Sister Shili." Ci Ke looked at Ye Youqing distressedly, with a little helplessness in his eyes, "Your strength is no less than her."

If she was not around, depending on the people around Ye Youqing who had never taken care of anyone, how long would it take for her to recover from this injury.

Ci Ke thought about it, let out a low sigh, bent down and sat down, took the ointment from Shi Li's hand, dipped it with his little finger, and dabbed it on Ye Youqing's scabbed wound.

Ye Youqing, who was still in pain just now, stopped making a sound, gradually loosened his frowning brows, and fell asleep peacefully.

Shili and Ma Xiao looked at each other, patted her, and Ma Xiao went out the door on tiptoe.

Shili leaned against the door with folded arms, watching the scene in front of him, and couldn't help but curl his lips.

The charming woman with clear eyebrows is taking care of Ye Youqing carefully, every touch is very gentle, as if facing some fragile treasure, this scene is slowly progressing, and time seems to be stagnant.

She was suddenly in a trance, as if she had stepped into the wrong time and space, and saw herself nine years ago.

"I'll ask Martha to get some food, and you can feed Xiao Qing as much as you can, so that you won't be hungry all day and faint from hunger when you wake up." Shi Li said, looking at the blood-stained clothes on Ci Ke's body. skirt, "I'll bring you another clean dress."

Ci Ke smiled gratefully at her.

After a while, Shili sent a bowl of meat porridge and a suit of commoner clothes. Although the commoner clothes had been washed, they still smelled of blood. They should have been worn by Ma Xiao when he helped butcher the pigs.

Ci Ke didn't dislike her, so she put it on and tied her hair into a bun. If you didn't look at her face, you would be a commoner girl.

She used a spoon to feed the porridge to Ye Youqing, this time it was easy, Ye Youqing was so hungry early in the morning, when he smelled the meat, he subconsciously swallowed it, and soon he fed half a bowl.

"Hey, I'll eat later." Ci Ke pursed his lips, tapped the tip of Ye Youqing's nose, and put the bowl aside.

Suddenly, there was a noise from outside the door, as if someone had walked in from the courtyard, and then Martha's flattering and humble voice sounded: "Masters, we are butchers, I wonder who you are looking for?"

"That's my little sister's boudoir. It's not suitable. Why don't you have some tea?" He laughed, and his voice fell into Ci Ke's ears through the huge courtyard.

Ci Ke thought about it, got up quickly, threw the porridge bowl out of the window neatly, and fell into the overgrown weeds, then quickly put on Ye Youqing's middle coat and coat, and gathered the blood-stained clothes he had changed into one group.

"Master Guan, don't, this is the place where pigs are slaughtered, don't stain your eyes!" Ma Da hurriedly opened his arms, blocking the sight of the forbidden soldiers with his huge body, and apologized, while Ma Xiao followed behind, clenching his hands nervously. Rough palms.

"Get rolling!" The forbidden soldier kicked the horse's thigh, kicking him staggeringly, revealing the stable behind him, and looking inside.

Suffocated by a burst of blood and stench, he retracted his head, covered his nose and spat.

"Look, the younger ones have already said that this is the place where pigs are slaughtered." Ma Da said with a smile, covering his legs.

"At the foot of the imperial city like Bianjing, you should be kicked out of all you vulgar butchers, you stink to death." The forbidden soldier held his nose in disgust, waved his hand, and strode out with his men, but when he was about to step out of the threshold, A very slight sound was heard.

He raised his hand to stop his subordinates, and turned around slowly.

Ma Xiao's palms were sweating continuously, and she glanced at the wooden house where the voice came from: "Hey, wild cats are infested here, and they compete with people all day long."

The forbidden soldier stared suspiciously, turned around and walked towards a hut that looked like a firewood house.

"Master Guan, Master Guan!" Seeing this, Ma Da rushed forward and stuffed a string of copper coins into the man's hand, "That's where the third son of my family lives. He doesn't like to be clean, and the inside is smelly and dirty. It's really unbearable!"

The forbidden soldier weighed the copper plate in his hand a few times, pushed him away, and strode towards the hut. The big horses and small horses couldn't stop him, and the sweat on his face was almost like a river.

With a bang, the door was suddenly kicked open, and a strong smell of blood rushed over, but it wasn't the stench, but the smell of fresh blood.

The forbidden soldiers walked in vigilantly, and saw that the room was small, with a bed next to the tables, chairs and benches, and the bedding on the bed was messy.

No one is empty.

Ma Xiao couldn't help pulling Ma Da's clothes, and the two looked at each other.

"Why is the smell of blood so strong?" The forbidden soldiers looked around and began to rummage through the bedding, but there was nothing inside, and there was no place to hide in the cramped hut.

The forbidden soldier looked at the small window in front of him, which was tightly closed at this time. He stepped forward and stretched out his hand to push it open, but he heard a few disgusted cries from behind him. Looking back, he saw Ma Xiao lying on the bed Underneath, a bloody pig's head that had just been slaughtered was pulled out from it.

"Grandma, Ma San wants to eat alone again. I said why when I sold the meat this morning, I lost a head and sold a few copper coins!" Make him back again and again.

"Master Guan, I'm afraid it's the smell of blood. I just slaughtered it last night and took it back to make pig's head meat for wine?" Ma Xiao grinned and stuffed it into the guard's hand.

The forbidden soldiers knocked down the pig's head, straightened their clothes, rushed the two of them away angrily, walked to the open space, and retched a few times.

"Go, go, bad luck!" He spat again, and then he led his men and left the courtyard as if fleeing.

Only then did Ma Da and Ma Xiao dare to take a deep breath, rushed into the room and opened the window, but there was also no one outside.

At the same time, in the dilapidated alley outside the house, Ci Ke was hiding with Ye Youqing behind his back.

It seems that the emperor was worried that the criminal's so-called escape from the capital was just a cover, so apart from searching along the capital, he did not miss the search in the capital.

Ci Ke hardly dared to take a big breath, Ye Youqing was taller than her, and it was very difficult to carry her on her back, not to mention that when she dragged Ye Youqing out of the window just now, she already consumed most of her energy.

Those officers and soldiers didn't know if they had left the courtyard, and she didn't dare to go back, so she could only shrink in the deep alley and wait silently.

"It's just that a merchant who sells private salt, why did he engage in such a big battle? The entire palace department was mobilized and searched from house to house. It was a waste of time to take a bath today." Someone said full of resentment.

Footsteps from far to near.

Ci Ke paused, and hurriedly walked back, but saw several officers and soldiers passing by the alley behind her, she froze in place immediately.

"Yeah, but if you dare to snatch someone under the eyes of the Holy One, if you don't catch him back, how embarrassing the royal family will be." Another person said, "I just don't want to remove the portrait of the thief, but also attach the portrait of the daughter of the Ye family."

"Who knows."

Ci Ke closed her eyes to calm down her chaotic mind. She put Ye Youqing on the ground and looked around. She saw a family's clothes drying next to them. There happened to be two bamboo hats among them, so she took them off and gave them to Ye Youqing Qing put it on, and then covered her face tightly.

Just in case these forbidden soldiers know themselves.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and she fell into a tense and chaotic mood. Ye Youqing was so big, how could he be fooled by those people.

"Ci Ke, don't panic." Ci Ke whispered, turned his head, stared at the alley, waiting for a corner of the royal armor to appear in front of her.

Suddenly, someone covered her mouth and nose from behind.

What enveloped her was the faint smell of blood, as well as Ye Youqing's gentle voice, breath fell on her ears: "Don't move."

Ci Ke's eyes, which were blindfolded under the bamboo hat, widened, and their eyes suddenly became sore, and tears almost filled their eyes.

Ye Youqing stood up slowly, and she followed her up, and the two retreated to the base of the wall.

Ye Youqing's voice and breath were very weak. It was already a miracle that he could wake up so quickly after suffering such a serious injury.

Ye Youqing reached out and took off the bamboo hat covering her face, and threw it aside, her eyes were a little out of focus, but her mind was slowly recovering. She didn't know why she was in the alley, but she could only remember that when she was unconscious, someone took good care of her .

She looked around and knew that there were people coming from the front and back, so enduring the pain, she stretched out the arm on the side that was not injured, picked the bricks protruding from the wall, and flew onto the wall.

She was about to jump down, but she looked down and saw a woman in common clothes and a bamboo hat, her body was tightly wrapped in a wide cloth, her body smelled very strange, there was no fragrance, but sweat and some fishy smell.

The situation was critical, she didn't think much, and reached out to signal the woman to come up.

Without hesitation, the woman put her hand into her palm. With a sudden force, Ye Youqing pulled the man up to the wall, turned over and fell down.

When she landed, the wound was torn open, she staggered two steps back, and leaned her head against the tree, silently.

The woman in front of her didn't speak, but rushed forward to look at her wound, perhaps because she was not used to being too close, Ye Youqing subconsciously pushed her away from him.

Ci Ke, who had never been pushed away by Ye Youqing, was taken aback.

Ye Youqing heaved a sigh of relief when the footsteps of officers and soldiers walked by outside, and then said in a low voice: "Girl, you saved me?"
