I wish for a long time

Qi Shao'an looked at Mrs. Lin, who had a slightly drooping mouth and a bad complexion, and sighed helplessly in his heart.

She nodded and said lightly: "What is Mrs. Lin talking about? The Hou's Mansion is Mrs. Lin's. The husband is Mrs. Lin's child. The daughter-in-law definitely has no right to control."

Mrs. Lin glanced at her indifferently, and raised her brows slightly, "I haven't seen you in January, but I'm much more articulate."

"Hey, hey, can someone ask me what I think?"

Ye Jiu supported his head with one hand, knocked on the bed board with the other, and looked at the two with half-open eyes.

Mrs. Lin said strangely: "What can you think of?"

Ye Jiu rolled his eyes, "Tell me, if I feel pain at night and want to hug and hold you high, do you want to come and kiss your precious girl?"

After that, she pouted shamelessly at Mrs. Lin.

There were eighty black lines on Mrs. Lin's head, and she suddenly wondered if the greasy thing in front of her was her obedient, smart and lovely daughter.

Qi Shaoan turned her head to one side, bit her lower lip tightly with her white teeth, and tried her best to hold back a smile.

"You little hozen."

Mrs. Lin couldn't be more angry, she stood up and shook off her cloak, "Okay, mother, if you don't stay here, you're such a cunning fellow."

She glanced at Qi Shao'an, and naturally knew that Jin'er was protecting this girl, but now that Jin'er was willing to get close to her, she was also very pleased.

"I'll order someone to cook some red ginseng soup later," Madam Lin said and looked at Qi Shao'an again, "You take good care of Jin'er for me."

Qi Shaoan hurriedly stood up and saluted, "Yes."

……

That night.

As Mrs. Lin expected, Ye Jiu really developed a low-grade fever.

Bai Jian looked at it and said it was a normal phenomenon, as long as it didn't get hot, it wouldn't be a serious problem, just let Qi Shaoan take care of her.

Although Qi Shaoan was worried, he had experienced Ye Jiu's serious injury and gained experience, and with the people of the Hou Mansion waiting for him, he didn't feel flustered like last time when taking care of him.

"Shao'er, I'm under pressure."

Ye Jiu was in a daze, just about to turn over and move, but was suppressed by Qi Shaoan, "Be patient, you will be able to move in two days."

Ye Jiu looked down at a certain part of himself, tears streaming down his face, "It will be completely gone in two days."

Qi Shaoan curled his lips and chuckled, "Not at all, don't worry."

"???"

Ye Jiu: I feel offended.

Qi Shaoan lay sideways beside Ye Jiu, fiddled with her temple hair, looked softly at her white and tender side face, and said, "I don't dislike it."

The corners of Ye Jiu's mouth drooped, and he snorted, "Shao'er, you're not cute at all, I'd rather have Mrs. Lin."

Qi Shaoan frowned, nodded her head, "Then shall I call for you?"

Ye Jiu shut his mouth immediately, and shook his head again and again: "No, no, I'm joking..."

Before he finished speaking, the candlelight on the bedside suddenly shook, and then a roar came from outside the door: "Who is it?!"

Ye Jiu suddenly woke up, Qi Shaoan was also startled, and quickly sat up, the two of them looked at each other and listened carefully.

"Who broke into Zhenyuan Hou's mansion?!"

Ye Jiu recognized Nan Yuan's voice, but after one sound, there was the clanging sound of swords clashing outside the door.

She was shocked in her heart, and hurriedly said: "Shao'er, quickly hide under the quilt!"

Hearing this, Qi Shaoan glanced at her, passed Ye Jiu and got out of bed without saying a word.

Ye Jiu looked surprised: "Shaoer??"

Qi Shaoan didn't respond, put on his clothes, stood in front of Ye Jiu, and picked up the porcelain vase next to him, quietly looking out the window.

Ye Jiu was angry and impatient, the girl became stubborn, and it was difficult for anyone to speak.

"Shao'er! You can't beat it!"

At this time, the sound of fighting outside the door suddenly stopped, and the whole process was short and did not even attract the government soldiers.

Ye Jiu was terrified, which meant that Nanyuan...

"Lin Hou, is it convenient for you to stay in the room?"

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, accompanied by a somewhat familiar voice.

Ye Jiu was a little puzzled, hearing this meant that he was still a person who knew him.

She glanced at Qi Shaoan and motioned her to hide behind the screen next to her.Qi Shao'an refused at first, but after Ye Jiu repeatedly reassured him with his eyes, he had no choice but to walk behind the screen with the porcelain vase in his arms.

Ye Jiu looked at the big vase in her hand: "..."

"Come in."

The door was pushed open, and two men in black walked in one after the other.

Ye Jiu held the dagger under the pillow in his hand, staring closely at the two of them.

Seeing this, the one behind waved his hands again and again, "Don't...don't be nervous!"

After finishing speaking, he pulled off the mask, "It's me, Young Master Ye."

Ye Jiu looked at it for a few breaths, and suddenly his surprise turned into joy, "Zaiyang?!"

The person who came was Zai Yang who had just returned to Beijing today.

He smiled and nodded, "Marquis Lin still remembers me."

Ye Jiu patted the bed board, "You haven't settled the score for stealing my fish, how can I forget you!"

Zai Yang's smile froze on his face.

Ye Jiu suddenly realized something, looked at the straight man standing in front of him, the corner of his mouth twitched, "Don't tell me, you brought your emperor over to climb over the wall."

Hearing this, the man in black in front of Zaiyang also pulled down his mask, revealing a stern face, it was Chu Shishen.

Ye Jiu:? ? ?

"Crazy you guys!!"

An emperor turned over to his courtier's house in the middle of the night, so it's not a mess when he goes out to court.

Zai Yang glanced at Chu Shishen, shrugged, "You have sent all the imperial physicians who sent you back. Your Majesty is worried about you, so come and have a look."

"I didn't expect that there were quite a few people in your courtyard."

Zaiyang looked outside the door, there were three or four guards in the open and in the dark, but it took him some effort.

Seeing that it was them, Ye Jiu didn't need to worry about Nan Yuan, so he asked, "Are they all still alive?"

Zaiyang threw away the porcelain bottle in his hand, "The best Mongolian sweat medicine, send it directly to Duke Zhou's bed."

Ye Jiu smiled helplessly, and explained: "Jia Ci was afraid that the old things would repeat itself, so he arranged for more people, but it seemed that it was useless."

Chu Shishen naturally understood what Ye Jiu was referring to. The attack on the Zhenyuan Marquis's Mansion caused a lot of uproar back then, even though he was young at that time, he knew about it.He nodded slightly upon seeing this.

Zaiyang looked at the cold sweat on Ye Jiu's forehead, and the somewhat abnormal flush, feeling a little pleasantly surprised and a little melancholy in his heart.She didn't expect to see Ye Jiu again in this life, and she didn't expect to meet again like this.

"Ma'am, come out."

Chu Shishen and Zaiyang were taken aback for a moment, their attention was on Ye Jiu just now, and they didn't notice that there were other people in the room.Hearing this, there was still a slight breathing sound.

Qi Shao'an came out from behind the screen, clutching the porcelain vase firmly in his hand.

"Ye... Mrs. Lin, long time no see."

After the four people parted ways in the mountains, they finally met again.Fate is playing tricks on people again, as if returning to the inn when they first met, there is a faint sense of tension.

Qi Shaoan's heart turned a thousand times.

Every time I meet these two people, nothing good will happen, either dying or seriously injured! !

She gritted her teeth and blessed herself perfunctorily.Knowing that Shen Shi in front of him was already an emperor, but he didn't know where the courage came from, just like he did on the cliff that day, he glanced at the two of them.

Then, he went out with the vase in his arms.

Chu Shishen & Zai Yang: ...

"No, why did I feel like your wife gave me a stare just now..." Zaiyang was a little confused.

Ye Jiu naturally saw the displeasure on Qi Shaoan's face, she pretended to be surprised and said, "You read it wrong, my wife is the most polite."

"..."

Zaiyang: I always feel that something is weird.

Chu Shishen raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, but smiled and said nothing.

"Tell me, what's the matter with me?"

Ye Jiu looked at the two people standing in the room, and frowned.

She didn't believe that these two people came to the Hou's mansion with great effort, just to see if she was dead or not.

Hearing this, Chu Shishen walked over lightly, and sat down on the stool in front of her bed, "Is the injury okay?"

Ye Jiu waved his hand, "I can't die."

"Today...thank you."

Chu Shishen kept quiet as always, but Ye Jiu felt a little different in his heart.She smiled casually, "Thank you for what I did, and you are the same."

She knew in her heart that as long as Chu Shishen put all the responsibility on herself at that time, he would be able to get away with it.It's just that he may be in danger of killing himself. After all, even if he is covered in mouths, he still can't tell the truth about the virtuous king taking poison.

But he didn't, and even handed over the letter without hesitation.

Chu Shishen had a slight smile on his face, and then he said: "I have found some clues."

Ye Jiu frowned, "What?"

"Do you still remember the officers and soldiers who chased you and me that day?"

Ye Jiu nodded when he heard the words, "I remember, it seems that they are from the same batch as the ones from the inn, and they are said to be sent by the general judge."

Chu Shishen nodded, "Exactly." He turned around and called, "Zaiyang."

Zaiyang explained in response: "I have found out these days that Fei Qi, the inspector of Tongzhou, when he was the magistrate of Yonglin County in the 16th year of Zhengyuan, once dealt with the bandits in Lianmang Mountain with His Royal Highness Mu Wang, and then gradually rose to the top of the list. Inspect and take charge of a state's military affairs."

In just six or seven years, he has climbed from a small county magistrate to a state-level official. This speed is really unbelievable.

Ye Jiu was startled, "So, it's King Mu..."

Chu Shishen shook his head, "There is no evidence now, so it's hard to make a conclusion at this time. Besides, my third brother has always regarded rights as nothing. It is unreasonable for me to doubt him for no reason."

Ye Jiu frowned. At the banquet that day, Prince Mu's eyes were calm and his posture was free and easy. She was really connected with the vicious and scheming person.

Seeing her silence, Chu Shishen went on to say, "Nowadays, the government is deeply intertwined, and factions and the like are hiding their wings. If we want to see clearly, it will take some time."

Ye Jiu sighed, "Your Majesty has been away from the capital for a long time, and there are very few available talents. Why don't you take this opportunity to recruit ambitious people from all over the world, so as to pave the way for the future."

Chu Shishen frowned, "It's not that I haven't thought about it, it's just that half of the so-called academic talents are recommended by officials at various levels, and they are more or less nepotistic. .”

Ye Jiu looked at Chu Shishen with seriousness in his eyes, "Since you want to change the chaos in the court, you have to cut it to the end."

"How?"

"Accommodating poor families and setting up national schools is to be the emperor's disciples."

Ye Jiu propped up his upper body and paused every word, "Even including women."

If Chu Shishen was just a little surprised in the first half of the sentence, the second half directly shook his heart.

"woman??"

Zaiyang was also stunned when he heard it, "There is an old saying that a woman's lack of talent is virtue, why do you..."

Ye Jiu spat at him, "Bah, fuck the remnants of feudalism, haven't you heard of it, three women in one drama, four women will destroy the world."

Zai Yang and Chu Shishen: "..."

Chu Shishen smiled instead: "What you said that day in the forest is really fresh in my memory, but if a woman wants to be an official, I am afraid that the beards of the old ministers in the court will be crooked."

Zaiyang answered: "Yes, yes, what can women do, can we set up another embroidery room?"

Ye Jiu rolled his eyes: "Zaiyang, you will be beaten to death if you put yourself in modern times, you know that?"

She ignored Zaiyang with a dazed face, and counted with his fingers: "A person's talent does not differ because of whether you are a man or a woman. What I said is just to let Your Majesty not miss every available talent." .”

"Moreover, I hope that His Majesty can recruit different types of special talents, such as medical skills, arithmetic, martial arts, riding skills, mechanical skills, and even some skilled craftsmen. Don't let them go."

The more Ye Jiu spoke, the more excited he became, "Just imagine, if His Majesty has a lot of talents in his hands, how can he still be controlled by others? Don't those courtiers have to weigh three points in everything they do."

To Chu Shishen, having someone succeeding was a joyous sight, but to the courtiers, it was a pack of wolves behind him.

Or a pack of hungry prairie wolves.

Chu Shishen looked at Ye Jiu, and couldn't calm down for a long time. He clutched his robe tightly, and said in a trembling voice:

"I'll think about it."

The author has something to say: Shao'er: Believe it or not, I'll smash you to death.

Ye Jiu: Just look at his pale yellow robe and fluffy hair.

Shao'er: ...I checked the eyes, it's someone I can't afford to offend.
