something wrong

Mrs. Yan took Sangzi to the small pavilion where her daughter lived.

The exterior of the small pavilion is not luxurious, but when you enter the interior, it appears to be meticulous everywhere, and it can be seen that a lot of effort has been spent.The pavilion was originally where Yan Liuguang and Yan Qitong lived together, but later it became the residence of Yan Qitong alone.

When Mrs. Yan entered her daughter's residence, tears welled up again, and she choked up and said, "This is retribution. God saw that I had a vicious heart, so he made me suffer the consequences, and made me suffer the pain of not being able to see my daughter. What happened back then , neither my master nor Qi Tong knew about it. At that time, Qi Tong was still young, and she would do what I told her to do. Later, when she became sensible, she never questioned me, but occasionally shed tears secretly at the tablet with her name engraved on it. Before she got married, she pressed Yan Liuguang in every possible way because she was afraid that she would not be able to deal with the prince and affect the whole family. Qi Tong is a good daughter, but I am not a good mother, and I ruined her life and death."

While Mrs. Yan was rambling on, Sangzi had already roughly looked through the several connected rooms.As Mrs. Yan said, the windows here are bright and clean, the beds are also covered with thin brocade quilts according to the season, and the flowers are placed on the table. It is not the plain onyx outside the building that is bleak, but bright colors.I want to come here to be carefully protected by Mrs. Yan, it is her daughter's world.

In the flower hall connected to the bedroom, she saw a bookcase full of books on the wall, thinking that Yan Qitong also loved reading when he was on the mountain, it was true.

"My family, Qi Tong, has read so many boxes of books and embroidered so many embroidery items, but because she is afraid of being seen through, staying in this building all year round is like a cage, and she has been able to endure the embarrassment." Madam Yan followed behind Sangzi. She said sadly, "Now that I think about it, what have I done, that princess is not absolutely necessary. It's a pity that when I started, I couldn't stop."

Sangzi saw a wooden square painting tube next to the bookcase, with several scrolls inserted in it, she stepped forward and took out a scroll and unfolded it, only to see a peony flower painted on it, with luxuriant branches and flowers, and the brushstrokes were meticulous, it can be imagined How to draw it bit by bit.This painting doesn't seem to be very agile, but it's done neatly and neatly.There are inscriptions and seals on the painting, Sangzi raised his hand to look closely, only to feel that those words are also rigorously written, and it can be seen that he has put in some hard work to practice.

After seeing this painting, Sang Zi frowned slightly, but when Mrs. Yan came over, she lightly relaxed her brows.Mrs. Yan came over with her daughter's usual jewelry box for Sangzi to have a look at.

What asked her to come to get the white and blue jade bracelet inlaid with seven-colored orbs was nothing but Sangzi's nonsense.The bracelets did exist, they were the pair that Yan Qitong almost gave to the tailor shop earlier.Sang Zi was just looking for an excuse to take a look at Yan Qitong's residence, but after seeing it, he became more confused.

Sangzi looked through the jewelry box, then picked up a hairpin, and said with a smile: "Look at my memory, she carried that bracelet on her hand, and she wanted me to get this colorful hairpin, I think it's the same It’s a set, and I was pulled down for some reason.”

Mrs. Yan took a closer look at the hairpin, and then hurriedly said: "Yes, she liked this set of jewelry the most at the time. It's just that she wore a phoenix crown when she got married, so she didn't use this hairpin for a while." Thinking of the events at that time, Yan Madam couldn't help feeling uncomfortable again.She really doesn't think about anything now, as long as she can see her daughter again.

"Then I'll bring it to her." Sang Zi put it away in the sleeve, and pointed to the painting he had seen just now, "This peony painting is very good, I wonder if you can give it to me?"

"That's natural." Madam Yan helped to roll the scroll, "My daughter was good at all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but she was always at home and suffered from no one's appreciation. Since the doctor loves it, there is no reason not to give it away."

Sangzi took the painting and left.

Although I don't know if there is a threat, but Sang Zi is still very careful after leaving.Wei Young's carriage has already returned to Suqing City, and she gave up her house in Hongjing to Sangzi to live in.Sangzi used to have a family in Hongjing, but when she left, she didn't want to come back, so she sold it long ago.The residence has already been cleaned by someone, and they are all kept by Wei Young. They say that everyone is serious, so you can believe it.

In fact, Wei Young didn't know anything about the whole matter of the Yan family, which was enough to teach Sangzi to be vigilant.The one in the palace must choose someone from her own family to be the crown princess, but she will never let this matter become an excuse for the officials to impeach her, so only very few people will know, of course, this is also she wishes.

Back in the room, Sangzi had a good sleep, and didn't get up until the second watch.The cook knew that the rice and water hadn't been put in after she came back, so he kept heating the food in the pot. Sangzi ate full and had enough energy before getting up and leaving the house.

There is no curfew in Hongjing, so there are still pedestrians on the street, and the night market is also very prosperous.It wasn't until this moment that Sangzi paused in his heart, standing at the street corner, suddenly unable to recover for a long time.

This way, from the past until now, she has been busy with Yan Qitong's affairs, and she is also worried about Yan Qitong, but she suddenly forgot that this is the city she swore never to enter, and the home she never returned to.

No, it was the city she thought she could never enter again, the home she could never return to.

I thought I would die outside, but I didn't expect to come back.She glanced in the direction of the Hongjing Palace, where there was the imperial hospital that had brought her endless joys and sorrows, and... her fatherly teacher Cao Xiuchun.

But those have to wait, I don't know what will happen after Yan Qitong returns with Qiu Ying.In her eyes, the Qiu family was a small family. They were merchants, but they raised a nice daughter.Thinking about it, Yan Qitong had been locked in that small pavilion all the time, and she didn't have any close friends in her boudoir, and she and Qiu Ying had some hits, it was better than her alone.Sang Zi smiled alone as she thought about it, not knowing why she was so worried.

After crossing the Guanshui Bridge, we arrived at Yanzi Lane. The courtyard walls here are not too high, and it was already late at night. Thinking of not disturbing people and causing trouble, Sangzi originally wanted to fly quietly into the courtyard wall.But she tried twice and found that it was not as good as before.All the skills she has practiced for many years have been fed to the fierce disease in her body, and now it is extremely difficult to use a little or two of her strength.

The night was dark, and Sangzi felt that it was not appropriate to squat outside the courtyard wall. Fortunately, there was an old tree outside the courtyard wall, and the shadow of the tree was like a ghost. Really, it turned into the courtyard wall.

Kankan stopped, Sangzi stood still, panting slowly, wiped the sweat off his forehead with his sleeve, and then took a closer look.Her eyesight was also very good, but now her eyes were hazy, and there was a crescent moon above her head, no matter how much she rubbed her eyes, she couldn't see clearly.

It seems that I really can't do it.Sangzi stood there, feeling a little sad.In the past, when she heard that there were treasured herbal medicines and never showed them to others, she would sneak away to have a look. If it was really good, she would come to the door at dawn, and she would get it no matter what. If it was not good, she would just destroy it. , lest others worry about it.After going up the mountain, she was safe at night, and rarely moved in the dark, but she was already weak to this point.

However, it is not difficult to find out which house Yan Qitong lives in.

Before letting Yan Qitong leave, just in case, Sang Zi sprinkled some powder into her satchel.The powder has a strange fragrance, but only Sangzi can distinguish it.Now my legs are not working well, and my eyes are not working well. I just hope that my sense of smell has not regressed.Sang Zi slowly relaxed her body, closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and then turned her head, she seemed to be able to see a scented belt floating in the air in the dark, and Sang Zi followed it.

When they found the front of the house, Sangzi pushed lightly, and the door was naturally locked from the inside, but it didn't bother Sangzi.Sang Zi took a short dagger from his sleeve, and only carefully fiddled with it twice, the door came loose.

Stepping into the room, Sangzi closed the door and slowly moved to the bed.Leaning down gently, after his eyes adjusted, he saw that Yan Qitong was sleeping soundly, with his brows stretched and his breathing light and shallow.However, she slept with her clothes on, as if she had never seen her sleep with only a tube top.Her hands were still grabbing the edge of the quilt, Sang Zi stretched out her hand to break it off, and found that she was buttoned tightly.

Was it just a nightmare?But it's not like it.Sangzi was a little tired after tossing around for a long time, so she crawled in and slept beside Yan Qitong.Sneaking in in the middle of the night, one is to avoid people's eyes and ears, and the other is to worry about it. I have something to ask, but seeing that Yan Qitong is asleep and seems to be calm but still uneasy, Sangzi thinks that we should wait until dawn to talk about it.

Yan Qitong was in a half-dream and half-awake, only felt that her back was icy cold, as if submerged in water, which made her open her eyes immediately, but she didn't dare to move.

There was someone behind her, but she didn't know when there was someone behind her.Yan Qitong's eyes widened until the focus was almost blurred, and his palms were covered with sweat, only then did he belatedly feel that the person behind him was very familiar.

The coldness is so familiar, who else but Sangzi?

Yan Qitong let out a long breath, and turned his head slowly, and sure enough, he saw Sangzi leaning sideways on her back.Turning around slowly, Sangzi fell into her arms.Yan Qitong half-embraced her stiffly, and felt that her back was also stiff, so he gently stroked her up and down.

She fell asleep early last night. Originally, Qiu Ying wanted to sleep with her and share the same quilt with her as a sister, but she still declined.Except that Sangzi would occasionally sleep with her, she thought it was better to avoid sleeping with others as much as possible, in case she said something in her sleep, it wouldn't be a problem.

And every time Sangzi sleeps with her, he sleeps deeper than her, except for the few times when Sangzi wakes up first, usually he wakes up by himself.

So, under what circumstances would Sangzi wake up first?Yan Qitong thought about it carefully. One time, she fell ill on the mountain and her whole body was like a piece of ice, and then she slept together somehow. After Sangzi woke up first, she pretended nothing happened; After saving herself, that night Yan Qitong clearly felt that Sangzi seemed to be sick again and became very cold, but she herself lost consciousness very quickly, and forgot to ask any questions after waking up.

In fact, Sangzi didn't rely on her when she woke up, but thinking back to those few times and the current situation, Yan Qitong thought lightly, she couldn't rely on herself to suppress the onset of the disease, it wasn't because of this that she was kind to herself in every possible way.

Looking down at Sangzi's sleeping face, the woman didn't know what she was doing, but a smudge was rubbed on her face, Yan Qitong reached out and gently wiped it off for her, her hand was still slightly shaking.

It is a human world, so it will not be pure, helping each other, but using each other.The stain was wiped off by Yan Qitong, so she let go, let Sangzi sleep alone, put on her clothes and got out of bed, unable to sleep anymore.
