Wait a minute, heroine

The sun was setting in the west, and several detectives in black were patrolling outside the white-walled and blue-tiled house. Because the Night Terror Hall had already taken the three ladies out, the house was much quieter than during the day.

In the courtyard of the west wing, Zhe Yunli was dressed as a gentle lady, using a fan as a knife and slowly practicing her sword skills. Niaoniao was squatting on the roof, tilting his head and looking at another yard not far away.

In the yard next door, there was a brand new wheelchair, which Ye Jingtang had just asked the police to deliver, but Hua Qingzhi was not sitting on it at this time.

In the side room next to the wheelchair, the doors and windows are closed. The room is clean and tidy. It is fully equipped with desks, tea couches, treasure shelves, screens, etc. There is also a mahogany canopy bed in the back room.

Perhaps because she was afraid of treating this aristocratic lady who came from a well-known family badly, all the daily utensils were new. Sanniang even got collection-grade pens, inks, paper and inkstones and placed them on the desk for Hua Qingzhi's use.

Although the treatment was very good, Hua Qingzhi was obviously not happy at this time. She was sitting alone on the edge of the canopy bed, with her hands folded on her waist. There was a deep melancholy in her beautiful brows, as if she had just entered a wealthy family. The resentment of "the sea, we are all old friends in Beiliang from now on" is also like the uneasiness of "the weak young lady was forcibly taken back to the village to be an aunt by the bandits, she has no way to escape and doesn't know what will happen at night".

Compared with Hua Qingzhi, Luzhu is content with what she has come, and is even a little happy in her heart. After all, she is a personal maid. She can marry whomever the young lady marries, but she is snatched home by the unparalleledly handsome, civilized and martial Duke Ye Guo. No matter what, It's better than finding a crooked melon and cracked jujube in Beiliang.

At this time, Luzhu was very diligent, arranging various objects back and forth in the room in the way the lady was accustomed to, and comforting her softly:

"Miss, please be patient. When the two armies are fighting, our daughter's family will suffer the most. If we can save our lives, it will be auspicious. How can we dare to ask for too much? Now that we have reached the Southern Dynasty, we can't go back..."

Although Hua Qingzhi has problems with her legs and feet, she has never been a weak woman who is submissive. It would be fine if she was snatched away by Ye Jingtang. After all, she really has nothing to do with Ye Jingtang. If he really wants to use violence against her, she will be disappointed again. I can only accept my fate with tears in my eyes.

But Ye Jingtang didn't mean this at all. It was the fierce woman who took her back on her own initiative.

If her innocent daughter's family stayed at Yejingtang's house and stayed there until she could go back to Beiliang, wouldn't that be the same as cooking cooked rice?

After thinking about this for a long time, he raised his hand to interrupt Luzhu, who was about to lead the young lady to surrender:

"Luzhu, do you have any money?"

Lu Zhu was tied up voluntarily, and she must have packed her things before leaving home. She sat down in front of her, put her hand into her arms, felt in her belly pocket, took out a stack of silver notes, and handed it to Hua Qingzhi:

"I didn't bring much, just the 30,000 taels that I didn't use when I went to Yun'an last time. This is my only possession, and I didn't even dare to take it out on the way..."

?

Hua Qingzhi originally thought that the two of them came here penniless, and was thinking about what to do with their food, clothing, housing and transportation in the future. When she discovered that Luzhu was carrying her pocket money, her expression immediately changed. He brought the banknotes over, took out a few from them, and handed them to Luzhu:

"You go buy a house in the city now. There is no need to negotiate the price. As long as you are willing to sell it now and it can be lived in tonight, we will move there later..."

Luzhu frowned and said hesitantly:

"Isn't this inappropriate? There's a lot of war and chaos right now. It's so safe to live here. If we move out..."

Hua Qingzhi thought about it. She must have the intention of harming others and the intention of guarding against others. Her Hua family background could not suppress many people in the Southern Dynasties. If she ran out to live on her own initiative and ended up being kidnapped. If you lose both your life and money, you might as well endure the humiliation and bear the burden of being an aunt here...

"Then find a house on this street, preferably with two pairs of doors..."

"Miss, isn't this unnecessary?"

Hua Qingzhi said seriously: "There are so many people outside, Mr. Ye and I are innocent. If we stay at Mr. Ye's house overnight, it will inevitably lead to misunderstandings among these people, especially the Queen. And I bought a house by myself, even if there are two pairs of doors. Next door, I also live in my own home..."

Lu Zhu felt that this was completely unnecessary. After all, with Lord Ye's reputation and status, even if the two of them moved outside the city, in the eyes of the police outside, they would probably be the newly adopted aunt of Lord Ye. Kicked out and live...

But the young lady is worried about this. As a maid, she cannot blatantly persuade the young lady to accept her fate. She will live in Mr. Ye's house and try to have two children in three years. At the moment, she can only say:

"Let me go and ask..."

Tap tap tap...

As Luzhu left, Hua Qingzhi sat alone on the bed, looking at the elegant room full of books, feeling a little restless.

But now that the matter has come to a point, she doesn’t have the same powerful Qinggong skills as other women. She can’t escape from the house even if she wants to, so she can only sigh helplessly:

"well……"

After a moment of silence alone, two voices suddenly came from outside the yard:

"Fat Concubine, come here."

"grumble?!"

…

Hua Qingzhi's eyes moved slightly, and she felt that the voice sounded familiar, so she stood up on the canopy bed, slowly walked to the door and looked outside.

At this time, a figure walked through the corridor outside the courtyard and glanced into the room.

The figure was wearing a long red dress. Although she was not wearing makeup or jewelry, she looked extremely gorgeous. Just when she appeared, the already darkened sky felt a little brighter.

Hua Qingzhi recognized who this person was just by seeing the red dress - wasn't this the beautiful concubine Yun An had seen? She also used an acrostic poem to criticize the other party...

Hua Qingzhi was indeed not afraid of a concubine before, but now she is helpless at Ye Jingtang's house, and a concubine comes to her door, even if she wants to teach her the rules...

Hua Qingzhi looked around and saw that Mr. Ye and Luzhu were not there, and it was not easy to close the door and not see guests, so she nodded first:

"Miss Yuhu, you are here too."

The empress came here now to find Xue Baijin. She came to the front of Hua Qingzhi's courtyard purely because she had dealt with him before and came here to meet him. At this time, the empress stopped in front of the door, nodded and smiled:

"I am a subordinate of Duke Ye, and I come here often. The last time I saw her, Miss Hua's talent really impressed me. I heard that Miss Hua is also here, so I stopped by to take a look."

Seeing that this beautiful concubine was not aggressive, Hua Qingzhi felt less stressed and wanted to turn around and make tea:

"Miss Yuhu, come in and sit down."

The empress raised her hand and said: "I have official duties, so I won't go into the house. Oh, this tree and begonia are pretty good, um..."

?

When Hua Qingzhi saw this beautiful concubine pretending to be pregnant, she understood that she wanted to continue discussing poetry.

Under the eaves, Hua Qingzhi couldn't refuse, so she could only let the other party retreat. After thinking about it for a while, she looked back at the begonia flowers in the corner of the lower courtyard and said with a smile:

"The begonia flower on this tree is somewhat similar to that of a girl. Well... the beauty of the country is natural and unique. The color is deep and has a strong fragrance. It is in a charming state, and the fragrance is in the spring breeze."

"..."

When the empress saw that Hua Qingzhi had come up with a song without thinking, she blinked her eyes and recited it silently first vertically, then horizontally, then diagonally...

After confirming that this poem only hid the meaning of "the beauty of the country brings fragrance", the empress's eyes showed a strange color.

She had just come over and had already done her homework and thought of a sarcastic acrostic poem.

Now that Hua Qingzhi knows what it means to be an aunt, it is obviously inappropriate for her to recite a sarcastic acrostic poem when she starts praising her as "the beauty of the country."

For this reason, the empress directly raised her hand to salute and praised:

"Miss Hua is a good poet. I am ashamed of myself. From now on, Miss Hua will live in the Southern Dynasty. If you have any inconvenience, you can tell me at any time. I am an errand in the court, and I can talk to the current emperor, even at night." If I have offended the girl, I can help you seek justice."

Hua Qingzhi didn't believe it at all that Ye Jingtang could be controlled, but she still nodded and said:

"Then thank you girl first."

The empress nodded slightly, then looked around the courtyard:

"Which Miss Xue who came back with Miss Hua is not at home?"

When Hua Qingzhi heard this, her expression became less gentle, and she frowned and said:

"I didn't come back with her, she kidnapped me here. She didn't listen to anything I said on the way, so she just left me here and ignored her. If the girl knows her, please tell her for me and ask her to send me away. go back."

?

The empress blinked her eyes. She really didn't expect that there would be such trouble behind her. She nodded and said:

"Really? I'm going to ask about the situation. If this is true..."

Hua Qingzhi's eyes lit up when she saw this, and she looked at the life-saving straw.

But the girl Yuhu outside the corridor was obviously just a concubine. How could she dare to send the master’s woman away? She then said:

"It's true that this matter is not easy to handle. Now that the two dynasties are at war, Ye Jingtang can no longer go to Beiliang, and I can't control Xue Baijin. Girl, stay here for now. When the situation changes in the future, the court will send you back."

"..."

Hua Qingzhi had nothing to say. After sighing deeply, she had no choice but to return to the house silently...

——

On the other side, outside the palace.

When the empress comes to Jingjie City, the imperial doctor, imperial chef, etc. will naturally accompany her, because they are all people who can be used at any time. For this purpose, the temporary imperial hospital is located on the periphery of the palace, next to the imperial guard post.

At night, in Taiyuan Hospital, there were many black yamen chiefs and secret guards standing guard everywhere. In the alchemy room of Taiyuan Hospital, an alchemy furnace was burned, and there were many hangings on the wall next to it. The papers are all copies of prescriptions collected from Beiliang.

Doctor Wang was standing in front of the wall, stroking his beard and carefully considering the various information on the paper. Zhang Jinglin, who had become the second-in-command of the Taiyuan Hospital, was squatting in front of the medicine stove, watching the heat, and they were discussing:

"When I was in Beiliang, I was studying this medicine. However, the Beiliang court was too narrow-minded and everyone was only responsible for a part of it. They never saw the complete recipe..."

"If the Beiliang court is not careful, why don't you just steal the elixir and give it to King Wu?"

"Indeed, if King Wu gets this thing, and Guan Yujia comes down and says, "Open it for me," I'm afraid Lord Ye will have to explain it to Wu Shan..."

…

Ye Jingtang is just a martial artist and knows nothing about medicine. Naturally, he did not go to the alchemy room to be a conspicuous person at this time. He just brought a carriage and stood at the door of the Taiyuan Hospital, listening to another conversation:

"Sir Ye, after eating Tianlang Beads, his body is already in good shape. Now he has practiced six Singing Dragon Pictures. He is flawless both inside and outside and is considered a semi-immortal. Fortunately, Miss Ning'er is not jealous, otherwise..."

"Otherwise she could die in bed."

"Go, what did you say..."

"hehe……"

…

After waiting for a while, Qinghe Sanniang and Ning'er walked out with a bunch of packed medicinal materials, while Mrs. Wang saw them off.

Seeing Ye Jingtang standing outside the door, the few people naturally stopped their private conversations between women, and Mrs. Wang nodded dignifiedly.

As a man, Ye Jingtang naturally pretended that he didn't hear anything. He stepped forward and took a lot of medicine boxes from his wife's hands and put them on the carriage. Then he said goodbye to Mrs. Wang and became the coachman to take his wife home.

Ning'er was forcibly taken out of the bathtub in the afternoon, and then he didn't put her on the bed. He just walked around holding her and humiliating her. At this time, she was still a little dissatisfied. She didn't say anything when she got in the car, and just looked out the window and pretended to admire the scenery. look.

Sanniang sat at the door of the car window, opened the curtain and asked:

"Jingtang, are you hungry?"

Ye Jingtang sat with his back against the carriage, holding a riding crop, and smiled at this:

"While waiting just now, I had something to eat on the street. I'm not hungry. How's the discussion about the elixir going? I see that Doctor Wang has started refining the elixir."

Fan Qinghe was sorting out various medicinal materials and responded after hearing this:

"There are many methods of refining medicine. It is impossible to reproduce just one elixir and the remaining recipe snatched back from Beiliang. It will probably take some time to study."

"As long as you can research it, it will be great. When the time comes, you will have ten of them, and each of you will have one..."

Fan Qinghe was a little hesitant when he heard this: "According to Divine Doctor Wang, one of the new medicines refined in Beiliang requires about two boxes of Snow Lake Flowers. There are only so many Snow Lake Flowers in total. How can one person take one..."

"You don't have to worry about these. If there's not enough, I'll just go to Beiliang to buy more."

Ning'er was originally listening, but when she saw the issue of elixir distribution being discussed, she thought for a while and interrupted:

"Can you give Bai Jin one? The pill she took in danger with you..."

Ye Jingtang smiled and said: "This is natural. We agreed on the way back. When the prescription comes out, the first pill will be given to Master Xue."

Luo Ning was dubious: "Can the Empress and Prince Jing agree?"

Pei Xiangjun felt that this might be a bit difficult, his eyes moved, and he suddenly asked:

"Ning'er, Master Xue doesn't like anyone either, right? As the saying goes, good things don't go to outsiders... Hey, why are you pinching me..."

"Do you have the ability to talk about this matchmaker in front of Bai Jin?"

"I'm not her wife, so I can't blow the pillow wind..."

Ye Jingtang realized that Sanniang had taken the topic astray and did not dare to interrupt. He just shook his head and chuckled.

——

Gulu gulu~

The carriage carried a family of four across the street and soon arrived at the carriage shop on Southbound Street.

Ye Jingtang stopped the carriage at the door and was about to pick up his daughters-in-law when he noticed that a head suddenly popped out from the corner of the alley next to the carriage house.

Ye Jingtang turned around and looked away, only to see Lv Zhu, who was full of book scent, and found that after he looked over, he quietly hooked his hand.

Seeing this, Ye Jingtang turned around and came to the entrance of the alley. He glanced inside, but he didn't find Hua Qingzhi and asked:

"Why are you standing here?"

Lu Zhu looked around first, then pulled Ye Jingtang's sleeve and said pitifully:

"The lady asked me to find a house nearby and said that I wanted to move out. I felt that I was helpless now and the war was going on. It was not safe to move out, so I said I couldn't find one. Then the lady told me not to go back if I couldn't find one. Already..."

Ye Jingtang thought it was something big, but he shook his head and smiled when he heard this:

"Miss Hua came here by accident. It's normal to feel uncomfortable living here. I'll just go and explain to her. Let's go."

Luzhu folded his hands on his waist and hesitated:

"I didn't find the house. If I go back, the lady will punish me..."

Ye Jingtang saw that Lu Zhu didn't dare to go back to the house, so he raised his hand to signal:

"It's okay, I just said I brought you back."

Luzhu followed behind and whispered at the same time:

"Actually, the young lady likes the young master. After the young master went to Chengtian Mansion, the young lady was much happier than before. She often secretly looked at the young master on the carriage. After returning to the room at night, she was always in a daze. The little jasper turtle given by the young master was always in her purse. …”

Ye Jingtang raised his hand and flicked Luzhu's head:

"The elbows are turned outward, right? If your young lady knew that you were secretly snitching..."

"ah?"

Lu Zhu's expression froze, and she quickly spread her arms to block Ye Jingtang, raised her watery little face and said aggrievedly:

"Mr. Ye, please don't tell the lady about this. If the lady knows, she will kick me out..."

Seeing this, Ye Jingtang shook his head and said, "It's just a joke. I'm not an unscrupulous young man who likes to tease maids by taking advantage of things. How could I really tell the truth?"

Lu Zhu breathed a sigh of relief, but his eyes moved slightly, and he joked again:

"Why don't you, sir, let me tease you? Otherwise, if you get the advantage, you won't get any benefits, and I won't feel at ease..."

"...?"

Ye Jingtang felt that Lu Zhu was slightly better than Xiu He, so he dared to tease him in turn. He raised his hand and flicked Lu Zhu's head, and then they entered the house together.

Luzhu was afraid of being beaten by the lady, so she didn't dare to follow him, so she just waited in the aisle.

Ye Jingtang came outside the courtyard where Hua Qingzhi stayed and looked in from the door. He could see that Hua Qingzhi was sitting in a wheelchair and spinning around, looking like she was waiting for Luzhu to come back.

Seeing him peeking out from the door, Hua Qingzhi quickly calmed down her anxiety and showed a smile:

"Mr. Ye, you are back."

"yes."

Ye Jingtang entered the courtyard and held a wheelchair in front of him. Just like he did in Washington before, he pushed Hua Qingzhi to relax in the courtyard:

"I heard from the guards outside that you asked Luzhu to find a house nearby and plan to move out?"

Hua Qingzhi originally wanted to move out and inform Ye Jingtang, but Luzhu was not able to settle down at all in the afternoon. When Ye Jingtang came back, she could only say:

"Young Master Ye and I are innocent. We were kidnapped here. If we really stay overnight at Young Master Ye's house, wouldn't it ruin our reputation? That's why we thought of finding a house outside to stay temporarily..."

Ye Jingtang shook his head at this and said:

"It's really inappropriate for a daughter's family to stay alone in a man's house, but this is not my home, it's the third wife's home. I'm here to barge in... Bah, stay here temporarily. Don't worry, just live in peace of mind. Things will be arranged smoothly in a few days. Now, I will find a way to send you back to Beiliang..."

When Hua Qingzhi saw that Ye Jingtang had returned, she knew that she would not be able to move out today. After being silent for a while, she added:

"Don't listen to that Miss Xue's nonsense. I just wanted to say goodbye to you that day. You said you would come back the next morning at the latest, but you never came back. I didn't know when I would see you again, so I thought of using it like a dream. Huan San has no other intention of saying goodbye to you..."

Ye Jingtang knew that everyone might joke and exaggerate, but the upright Bingtuotuo never did, and he didn't quite believe Hua Qingzhi's explanation.

However, a gentleman talks about his deeds without caring about his heart. He ate the powder like a dream and couldn't distinguish between reality and fantasy. He really couldn't take it seriously. He didn't hold on to this matter and just said:

"Okay, Miss Xue doesn't have any ill intentions. She's just afraid that a moment of negligence will cause us to be separated and never see each other again. I will definitely send you home and stay here for a few days, then treat it as a spring outing."

Seeing Ye Jingtang say this, Hua Qingzhi naturally stopped making trouble. She bit her red lips and remained silent for a while, then said:

"By the way, the Yuhu girl came over just now and said hello outside the door."

"Um?"

When Ye Jingtang heard this, he frowned and said:

"You won't make her angry by writing poems again, will you?"

"She is your woman. I am living under someone else's roof. I dare not say anything bad. I praise her beauty and beauty, and she will leave happily."

Ye Jingtang breathed a sigh of relief and looked around:

"Where is she now?"

Hua Qingzhi shook her head: "I don't know. I asked where Nuxia Xue was, but I didn't know. Then she disappeared."

"...?"

Ye Jingtang's expression changed slightly when he heard this. After all, Hu Niuniu and Bing Tuotuo got together in private, and he, the peacemaker, was not present. If they didn't fight, it would be really disrespectful to their tempers.

Because he was afraid that something would happen to the two of them, Ye Jingtang did not dare to stay any longer. He picked up the wheelchair and put Hua Qingzhi into the room:

"You rest first, I'll go out and take a look. If you need anything, just say hello to Sanniang."

"It's very nice here. There's nothing missing. Mr. Ye, go get busy first."

"good……"

…
