Under the dim light of the lantern, I saw a young man dressed in red and blood standing under the shadow of willow branches and leaves.The hem of his clothes moved with the wind, and the hilt of his sword glowed coldly.Hearing the sound, the young master raised his chin, looked over with sharp and cold eyes, and nailed the servants in place.

Fei Su took off the coat she was wearing and put it on for Tu Dan, "I have something important to do, I will come to you tomorrow."

With the red clothes on his body, Tu Dan's body began to warm up. He looked at Fei Su in a daze, not quite understanding why he took off his coat to himself.

When this person first met, he was as cold as snow, and his expression and tone carried a chilly repulsion.It's just that Tu Dan was in the same car with him, and found that besides his indifferent temperament, he treated others with a little gentleness.

Fei Su drove away, the sound of the wheels rolling could be heard in the night, leaving only a trace of the outline of the carriage.

The moonlight was a bit hazy, sprinkled on the surrounding courtyard walls, and reflected the branches and leaves on both sides of the alley more and more brightly.

Tu Dan tightened his red clothes, and walked towards the gate of the mansion surrounded by servants carrying lamps.

"Young Master Tu." Someone called him from a distance, the voice was clear and shallow, so calm that there was no emotion.

Tu Dan was stunned for a moment, thinking it was Fei Su who had left by car and turned back, but he quickly identified the owner of the voice.

"Good night, Prince Yan."

Mottled light and shadows on the bluestone floor.

Yan Li pressed the sword, brushed away the peach branches and willow leaves, and walked out from the dark corner of the courtyard wall.The moonlight sprinkled on him, as if it had been coated with a layer of silver light.

This was the first time Tu Dan met Yan Li.

That night when he arrived at Hou Mansion, he was sitting in the sedan chair, Yan Li was standing outside the sedan chair, the night was dark and heavy, his whole body was in pain, and he couldn't see anything except a piece of crimson red clothes.

Yan Li stood in front of Tu Dan.

He was only in the year of the dancing elephant, and he was very young, but he had a clear and indifferent face.Watching the night tonight, he is wearing a red dress, with polyester hair tied up, and the hem of the clothes is like blood.

Are all the people in the patrol and frugal department wearing red clothes like this?

Tu Dan withdrew his gaze, "It's late at night, is Prince Yan still on business?"

Yan Li couldn't help rubbing his fingers on the hilt of his sword. He looked at Tu Dan with deep eyes, "Passing by the Hou Mansion, I saw Young Master Tu being sent off by a friend, and I felt envious."

He didn't answer the question.

Tu Dan was taken aback, his long eyelashes drooping slightly, "How can you compare yourself to your friends, my savior."

Yan Li looked at him, "Savior"

But Tu Dan stopped talking, but said, "It's late at night, Tu Dan won't bother the prince's night patrol."

The servant carried a lantern and embraced him into the mansion.

The door of the mansion was closed again, leaving only the moonlight.

Under the peach branches and willow leaves, someone walked up behind Yan Li, "My lord, that is Fei Su's official uniform."

Yan Li's expression remained unchanged, "I heard that Marquis Hua Yuan is coming back from Shangjing."

The subordinate said respectfully, "Yes, I left Shangjing yesterday."

There are many lanterns hanging on the veranda of the Hou Mansion. The red light sprinkles from the carved beams and falls into the white walls through the flower windows, forming an interweaving of light and darkness.

The servants carried the palace lanterns and sent Tu Dan to the Plum Garden, "Second Young Master, I wish I had a rest. The eldest wife said, I will greet her tomorrow."

Tu Dan dragged his sick body, went out in the twilight of the morning, and returned in the dead of night, inevitably the eldest wife had some criticisms.

Tu Dan said, "Go down."

The servant held the lamp and stepped back slowly. The orange light was hidden in the darkness, like a firefly, and soon disappeared.

The plum garden was completely silent, except for a few lanterns hanging on the corners of the eaves, there was no light anywhere.

Qiuyue held a lamp and carefully supported Tu Dan. The two walked through the flower trellis veranda and walked to the front door of the main room.

In the plum garden, there are only a few rough servants working in the small kitchen.Chunhua, Qiuyue and Yingxia have always taken care of Tu Dan's personal affairs, but now that Chunhua and Yingxia are away, all the big and small things in the plum garden fall on Qiuyue.

The door opened with a "squeak", and Qiuyue first entered the room to light the candles, and then slowly helped Tu Dan in.

The bead curtain swayed slightly in the wind.

Tu Dan sat on the bed, he was very tired, leaning against the head of the bed a little drowsy.

Qiuyue closed the doors and windows tightly, lit the stove again, and then quietly went out to the small kitchen to fetch medicine.

The carbon fire in the stove was flickering, and soon a layer of heat lingered in the room. Tu Dan's cold hands and feet gradually warmed up, and his lips and teeth stopped trembling.

"My lord, the medicine is here."

Qiuyue sat on the round pier at the head of the bed with a bowl of steaming medicine in her hand.She blew on the medicine gently and handed it to Tu Dan.

Tu Dan was about to reach out to pick it up, but with a movement of his arm, the red clothes on his shoulders fell off.He subconsciously put it back on, took the medicine bowl, and carefully drank it.

After drinking a bowl of bitter medicine, Tu Dan leaned against the bedside to read a book with candied fruit in his mouth.The night outside the window was dark, and the lights in the room were dim. He was holding a book, and his expression was a little dim under the candlelight.

The night passed, and the morning light was faint.

The servants of the waiting mansion came in and out of the yard, waiting for the master to wash up.After finishing his breakfast, Tu Dan, accompanied by Qiuyue, went to the east courtyard to pay his respects to the eldest wife.

No more writing about the carved beams and corridors all the way. When I arrived at the East Courtyard, Qiuyue reported her intentions, and the maid went in to announce.

"Ma'am, the Second Young Master has come to greet you."

The eldest wife was sitting in the side hall having breakfast, she put down her chopsticks and wiped the corners of her mouth with a brocade handkerchief, "Please come in."

The furnishings in the flower hall are very elegant, with screens, carved chairs, and flower windows, all of which exude luxury.

Flower shadows sway with the wind.

The maid opened the bamboo curtain and invited Tu Dan in, "Please, Second Young Master."

Tu Dan left Qiuyue outside the hall.

"Son pays respects to mother." He greeted Mrs. Hou Fu who was sitting on the main seat.

"Get up." The eldest wife said in a gentle voice, "You are not recovering, please sit down quickly."

Tu Dan sat under the main seat, his face was pale, "Yesterday, my son was not good, and my mother was worried."

The eldest wife sighed, "You must not be like this in the future, you are the son of my Hua Yuanhou's mansion, even if you want to come to thank you, there is no reason to come in person."

Tu Dan's long eyelashes trembled slightly, "What mother said is that the son is too impatient."

"Dr. Liao may have a follow-up visit," the eldest lady asked again.

"Doctor Liao said everything is fine, but the root cause of the disease brought out from the womb is intractable, and it will take some time."

"It's good if it can be cured." The eldest wife looked relieved, "Your disease was brought out from the mother's womb. I have already written to your father and asked him to find some great tonic medicinal materials from Shangjing. You bring it back. Now that he has returned to His Majesty, he will return to Jiangling soon."

Tu Dan started coughing lowly, and his breathing was a bit messy, the eldest lady thought he was ill again, so she hurriedly asked the maid to invite Dr. Liao.

"There's no need to call Dr. Liao, just take it easy, son."

The eldest wife was still worried, so she repeatedly called Qiuyue in and asked Tu Dan about her recent physical condition.
