I wish for a long time

bamboo garden.

After Ye Jiu came back, he told Qi Shao'an that he was safe, and locked himself in the study room, not answering anyone who called the door.

The room was extremely silent, she lay on the table, looking at the wreckage of Jiu Lianhuan in front of her, her mind was in a mess.

Chu Sheng...

She couldn't think of this person, and she didn't even have any memory of this name, but those few trance scenes, Pang Yan's sentence "Little Shizi", and today...

If it hadn't been for Chu Sheng's cross-legged kick in the end, I'm afraid that instead of going back to the Marquis' Mansion today, he would directly stay in Dali Temple.

A fool, such a coincidence...

Ye Jiu's mind still echoed Chu Sheng's heart-piercing cries. He was obviously like a child, but he was hiding endless sadness.

She stretched out her hand and beat her head, and Chu Shishen's words before leaving floated in her mind: "Don't let Sheng'er's beating be in vain."

A chill flashed in Ye Jiu's eyes.

Check, she must check.

What happened today was nothing more than trying to drive a wedge between her and Chu Shishen. Chu Shishen treasured Chu Sheng, and he had been entrusted with important tasks many times, killing two birds with one stone. This plan is not poisonous.

Right now Chu Shishen ascended the throne not long ago, and the foundation of the court is not stable, just like he is in the Marquis Mansion, with no one around him, and being restrained everywhere.

And his own appearance is like a new target for archery, providing a brand new venue for anyone who wants to cut off Chu Shishen's right and left arm.

Ye Jiu leaned on the back of the chair, closed his eyes and quietly thought about what happened these days.

What she took over at the beginning was the murder of Fang Weihong, but she temporarily put it aside because of the case of corruption of ink and food relief by the Ministry of Household Affairs. She almost forgot the intricate details involved.

She remembered that Xiao Lanfeng had said that Fang Weihong's niece was the concubine of Prince Xian. If so, Fang Weihong was probably part of the former prince's party, and it was reasonable to have driven him.

Then the death of Fang Weihong...

Fang Weihong's surprised face flashed again in Ye Jiu's mind, if he was a familiar person...

But in today's palace, if he and the eighth princess fall into the "pit", no matter what, Chu Shishen and Zheng Taifei will be more or less affected.

So looking at the whole situation, the only one who was not implicated and who had some motives was the former prince and the present Prince Xian.

She had thought about this before, but she didn't feel so strongly now.

She slowly opened her eyes, her eyes fell on the bamboo folding fan of Concubine Xiang on the desk, her palms gradually clenched the handle of the chair.

Looks like it's time to thank you.

……

Ye Jiu thought for a long time, finally stood up from the desk and walked towards the door.

Revenge must be avenged, but food must also be eaten.

She took a deep breath and stretched out her hand to open the door.

Ye Jiu lowered his head, but in front of him was not a black blue stone slab, but two light pink embroidered shoe tips, and a pale yellow pleated skirt.

"Shao... Shao'er??"

She looked up along the way, and when she saw the worried face looking at her, she was stunned.

"Why are you standing here? Why don't you go into the house?"

Seeing that Ye Jiu was safe and sound, Qi Shaoan felt relieved, she only smiled slightly, "I'm just walking by..."

"But pull it down, Miss Ye has been standing here since you entered the house, she was afraid of disturbing you, so she just stood at the door."

Seeing that Qi Shao'an's old problem was repeated, Wei Yu directly cut off her words and snorted after finishing speaking.

Qi Shao'an looked at Wei Yu speechlessly, "You are the only one with a mouth."

Ye Jiu was startled when she heard this, she had stayed in the room for nearly two hours, she didn't expect that Qi Shaoan would be guarding her at the door all the time.

She hastily grabbed Qi Shao'an's palm, and no surprise, her hands felt cold.

Seeing Ye Jiu's frown getting deeper and deeper, Qi Shaoan held her hand instead, and said softly, "I'm fine."

Ye Jiu squeezed her palm, pursed his lips, then turned around and picked up Qi Shaoan.

"Ajiu, what are you doing?"

Qi Shaoan was suddenly thrown on her back by her, she was startled immediately, she quickly patted Ye Jiu's shoulder so that she could get down.

"Shao'er, walk with me."

Ye Jiu suddenly had to speak, his voice was muffled and deep.

Qi Shaoan was stunned for a moment, looking at her drooping head, his heart tightened, and he stopped struggling.She gently stretched out her arms, wrapped them around Ye Jiu's neck, and responded softly, "Yeah."

When Lian Qing and He Yang walked into the bamboo garden with a tray full of food, they happened to pass by Ye Jiu and Qi Shao'an who were going out.

The two blinked blankly, looked at the young master's back with his young wife on his back, and looked at sister Wei Yu, who shrugged and sighed: "It seems that these delicacies are going to be cheaper for us again."

……

Zhenyuan Hou's Mansion occupies a large area. In addition to a small rockery in the front yard, there is also a garden in the backyard.

Ye Jiu carried Qi Shao'an on his back and walked slowly on the path between the mansions, only the sound of even footsteps could be heard quietly.

Qi Shao'an brushed the broken hair from Ye Jiu's temples, and said softly, "But I was wronged."

Ajiu has been like Shuang beating an eggplant since returning home, and now he is even more depressed, not saying a word, which is very different from the past.

Based on what I knew about her, something must have stimulated her.

Ye Jiu's footsteps were in disarray when he heard the words, then he shook his head, "It's not me who was wronged."

Qi Shaoan's heart trembled, the woman's intuition told her that something should be wrong.

"Is that... the eighth princess?"

In the end, what responded to her was Ye Jiu's still footsteps.

Qi Shao'an should have guessed it with her hair, she calmly looked at Ye Jiu's profile, even the slightly trembling corners of her eyes.

Ye Jiu sighed, and finally nodded, "Yes."

Qi Shaoan's eyelashes trembled.

Even though she trusted Ajiu completely, when she heard from her lover that she was worried about another woman, it would be a lie if she said she wasn't sad.

Seeing Ye Jiu being silent again, Qi Shaoan lay on her back, scratching her clothes with his fingertips, "Then... what kind of person is the Eighth Princess..."

Ye Jiu jumped out of his own thoughts, tightened his arms to ensure that Qi Shaoan would not fall down, and then said: "It's a poor girl."

Lonely and alone, struggling to survive, being bullied by others, and taking the blame for nothing, saying that he is pitiful is light.

Ye Jiu looked up at the gazebo in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.The scene of talking and laughing with Xue Yuning that day is still vivid in my memory, but people and things seem to have changed unconsciously.

She put Qi Shaoan on the soft cushion, and sat down opposite her.

"The eighth princess was lonely since she was a child, but now she has become a little stupid due to a serious illness, and she is always bullied by others on weekdays."

Ye Jiu naturally knew what her Shaoer was thinking, so she explained the cause and effect in detail without pausing too much.

"So, it was the princess who rescued you in the end?"

After hearing this, Qi Shaoan asked with some uncertainty.

Ye Jiu nodded, and smiled wryly, "If it wasn't for her, I definitely wouldn't have walked out of the palace so unharmed today."

"In the end, she was punished for being tired."

Qi Shaoan fell silent when he heard the words, unable to tell what it was like in his heart.

If just now she was depressed that Ajiu was pretending to be other women in her heart, now she feels a little bit sorry for the eighth princess.

It's not just that she is in a difficult situation, but she is forced to be involved in this war without sword light even though she is a princess.

Qi Shaoan lowered his head, touched the silk thread of the cuff with his fingertips, and sighed slightly.

Although Ye Jiu was in a bad mood, he also noticed that Qi Shaoan was as depressed as himself, even more depressed than himself.

She stretched out her hand to grab Qi Shaoan's palm, and rubbed it lightly, "Shao'er, I just realized today that all this is too complicated. It seems that I can find the answer, but it seems that I can't find anything."

Qi Shao'an nodded silently. One of the reasons why she didn't want to go to the capital at the beginning was that the water in the capital, the government, and even the court was extremely deep, and if she was not careful, she would fall into a situation that would never be restored.

And her Ajiu is so pure, kind and soft-hearted. She is afraid that one day Ajiu will fall into someone's hands, and she will have to experience that life and death parting again, which is so heart-wrenching.

She is someone who died once, she is not afraid of death, but she is afraid that something will happen to Ajiu.

"Ajiu, I really hate it."

Ye Jiu heard Qi Shao'an suddenly whispered something, but he didn't think about it for a moment, he quickly reached over and squeezed her palm tightly, "What's wrong, Shao'er?"

Qi Shao'an sniffled her nose slightly, her voice was a little hoarse, "I really hate that I am in such a status that I can only hide under your wings and cannot fight side by side with you."

Just now, she envied that poor eighth princess for no reason, just because she blocked this almost inevitable disaster for Ajiu when Ajiu needed it most.

But what about myself.

Qi Shaoan bit her lip, and gradually clenched the hem of her skirt with her right hand.

If it weren't for her status as a criminal slave, she could have accompanied Ajiu to and from the princes' mansions and provided some checks for her.

If she wasn't afraid of being exposed to others, she could also communicate with the family members of the various houses, and she could also win over contacts and find out news for her.

As long as he can do something, Ajiu will not be so tired.

Sometimes I would even be busy until late at night, until I couldn't help falling asleep.

Qi Shao'an's nose was sour, but she didn't want to worry Ajiu, so she simply closed her eyes.

Ye Jiu opened his mouth in shock when he heard Qi Shaoan's words, and stared blankly.But after the surprise, there was a burst of warmth flowing into my heart.

She has always regarded Qi Shao'an as a weak willow and Fufeng's generation, and she wants to leave her behind in everything, and does not want her to suffer any harm.

But although Qi Shao'an is a lady who grew up in poetry, books and etiquette, there is always an unyielding energy in her bones, as long as she does not end in anything, she will persist in doing it even if she gritted her teeth.

Whether it was when she was imprisoned, or when she was seriously injured and dying, Qi Shaoan was never the little girl she remembered who only knew how to cry when things happened.

Ye Jiu's heart ached badly. When she was in Yuncheng, she was still free and at ease, but now that she is in the capital, she has to be scrupulous about doing things.

Since entering Beijing, Qi Shao'an rarely left the residence, except for the time at Fugu Restaurant, he almost dragged her out by himself.She knew that Qi Shao'an was afraid of bumping into someone familiar and causing trouble for herself.

But in the mansion, not only Mrs. Lin made things difficult for her from time to time, but she also cared about her second brother. Qi Shao'an's mind was always that he could not talk about it, and every time he saw him, there was a happy smile on his face.

Ye Jiu knew in his heart that he could only look for the whereabouts of Second Brother Qi more closely, and stand firmer with all his might. He only hoped that sooner, her baby could be presented to everyone in an open and aboveboard manner, and she would shine with her own brilliance.

"Shao'er, you gave me this life, you forgot."

The long-term companionship between the two is nothing more than the unreasonable tacit understanding, Ye Jiu rubbed the center of his brows, suppressed the soreness in his heart, and asked with a light smile.

Qi Shaoan remained silent, Ye Jiu was not in a hurry, he held her palm and put it to his lips, "You never love me less than me, and you only pay more than I do, you have always fought side by side with me, haven't you. "

Ye Jiu's voice was soft and there was a hint of a smile, Qi Shao'an raised his head when he heard the sound, and looked at her eyes that were once again bright as stars, the eyes were even more sour.

There is only one person like this in this life, so what can I ask for?

Ye Jiu looked at Qi Shao'an's eyes overflowing with sparkle, lowered his head and thought for a moment, and suddenly raised her little finger.Qi Shaoan froze for a moment, followed Ye Jiu's guidance and raised his palm.

"We pull the hook, and we will never be separated in this life."

After finishing speaking, she took Qi Shaoan's hand to turn again, and then stretched out her thumb to push against it.

"The heart of the fist, the love of the family, this life will be with you in life and death."

Qi Shao'an let Ye Jiu play around, and was speechless in a daze.At this moment and this scene, she remembered that night of the wedding, when the two held silver cups, they made a lifelong alliance and drank the wine together.

Ye Jiu made a half-arc at the end, Qi Shaoan drew a cat like a tiger, closed her fingers, and made a heart shape.

Ye Jiu looked into Qi Shaoan's eyes, which were full of luster, and she pulled her lips into a smile:

"When we meet thousands of miles away, I will only be with you, Prime Minister Bai, in this life."

The author has something to say: After today, I am the only one left in the cult...crying.
