I wish for a long time

In an instant, only Song Chuxun and Xue Yuning were left in the room, looking at each other, neither of them took the initiative to speak.

Xue Yuning frowned slightly, looking at Song Chuxun's slightly drooping and pale face, the pain in her heart gradually deepened.

Seeing her wearing a cloak that day, he shouldn't have trusted her so gullibly, and even said that he occasionally felt cold.

At the end, Song Chuxun sighed and said, "The palace is no better than the outside, you should pay attention to everything."

Xue Yuning heard something was wrong, she asked suspiciously: "In the palace? What does it have to do with me?"

Song Chuxun raised his head in surprise, "Didn't the emperor take a fancy to you?"

Xue Yuning was taken aback when he heard the words, a little dumbfounded, "Why, I'm just recuperating in the Princess Palace. Your Majesty treats people politely and doesn't force me."

She paused suddenly, then raised her eyebrows, "How do you know His Majesty has taken a fancy to me?"

Song Chuxun choked for a moment, his cheeks flushed slightly, "I, I guessed."

Xue Yuning chuckled, and murmured in a very small voice, "The guess is quite accurate."

"What are you mumbling about?"

"Ah, it's okay." Xue Yuning shook her head quickly, then looked at Song Chuxun, her eyes gradually softened, and she asked softly, "Your poison..."

When this matter was mentioned, Song Chuxun's eyes narrowed instantly, she lowered her voice, and asked, "Xining, do you know where the antidote I took just now came from?"

Xue Yuning frowned slightly. When she came, she only knew that Boss Ye had obtained the antidote, but she didn't know where the antidote came from.

So she shook her head, "I don't know, Boss Ye took it out."

Song Chuxun was silent for a moment, "When I was unconscious?"

Xue Yuning nodded, "Yes, you were unconscious when I came, and Boss Ye already got the antidote."

Song Chuxun pursed the corners of her lips slightly, she glanced at Xue Yuning, and asked lightly: "Then has she eaten?"

"What does she eat?" Xue Yuning didn't know why.

The corner of Song Chuxun's mouth froze when she heard the words, and a little pain flashed in her eyes, "Did you look for Ye Jiu that day?"

Xue Yuning's whole body trembled. She didn't want Song Chuxun to worry, so she denied it flatly: "No, where did you hear that?"

Song Chuxun smiled wryly, she hesitated for a moment, and reached out to hold Xue Yuning's hand on her quilt.

Xue Yuning was slightly stunned, and let her knead her palm.

She bit her lip, struggling inwardly. She didn't know what Song Chuxun meant by saying this, but she didn't want Song Chuxun to know about her begging for Boss Ye.

"Chu Xun?"

Song Chuxun's eyes were slightly moist, she lowered her head and clenched her teeth, forcing back the tears that were about to overflow her eyes.

"Xue Yuning, I don't know whether to thank you or blame you."

Song Chuxun's low voice fell into Xue Yuning's ears, like a hammer hitting her heart with a muffled sound.

Xue Yu's mind, which was usually spinning extremely fast, froze.

"Chu Xun..."

The corners of Song Chuxun's lips raised slightly, and when he raised his head, his peach blossom eyes glowed with a hint of red, and he said softly, "This matter is over, do you want to go back to Yuncheng?"

At this time, Xue Yuning was completely dominated by Song Chuxun's thoughts. She hadn't recovered from what she said just now, and now she was entangled in a new problem.

She looked a little embarrassed, "Your Majesty ordered me to be the Minister of Rites, and I will take up the post at the beginning of next month."

Song Chuxun's heart trembled, she blinked, as if she didn't hear clearly, "What did you say..."

Xue Yuning gritted his teeth, and said again: "I was appointed as the Minister of Rites, and I will take up the post soon."

Song Chuxun froze for a moment, then smiled helplessly, "You really repeated it to me."

And the tears she just forced back, as she raised her head slightly, flowed down the corners of her eyes, fell into Xue Yuning's eyes, and felt a sudden pain in her heart.

"Chu Xun, can you... stay..."

She shook Su Su's hand, her cheeks flushed a little, as if she felt that what she said was a little frivolous, she quickly added:

"I... I have made meritorious service in rescuing him this time, and His Majesty rewarded me with a house, and I am a fourth-rank official, and I also have a salary. I..."

I can support you.

Song Chuxun slowly clenched her left hand hidden in the quilt, her eyes were sore and unbearable, she smiled with the corners of her mouth, "My family is really capable."

Xue Yuning lowered his head, unable to see the bitterness on her face, he just thought she had acquiesced, and the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, "If you like playing the piano and singing, I... we can still find Boss Ye and Shao'an , don't you miss the scene in Yuncheng back then..."

Song Chuxun smiled, but couldn't hide the sourness in his eyes, "Yeah, it's great to be together."

"So...you agree?"

Xue Yuning raised her head in an instant, she looked at Song Chuxun's smiling face, her eyes were shining with an incomparably clear light.

Song Chuxun just smiled, and said lightly: "Xinning, go and rest first, I'm a little tired too."

Xue Yuning suddenly realized that Song Chuxun had been chatting with her for a long time, thinking that since she was just recovering from a serious illness, he shouldn't have disturbed her for so long.

She quickly supported Song Chuxun to lie down, and then carefully tucked in the corners of the quilt.

"By the way, call Miss Jiang in for me."

Before closing his eyes, Song Chuxun said again, and Xue Yuning hurriedly agreed, "Okay, I'll go right away."

The room was closed with a creak, Song Chuxun turned his back, covered his mouth and coughed a few times in a suppressed manner, and the silk handkerchief exposed outside gradually showed patches of dark blood.

……

Ziru Garden.

Ye Jiu spread out listlessly on the chair, propped his head on his hands, and nodded from time to time.

"Jin'er, did you listen to what mother said?"

Mrs. Lin stretched out her hand and hit Ye Jiu with a round fan, saying displeased.

Ye Jiu came back to his senses, blinked, and coughed lightly, "Ah, I heard, your birthday is coming soon."

Mrs. Lin shook her head helplessly, and said dotingly: "You child, why have you been out of your mind for the past two days, and you haven't seen you go to court, is something wrong?"

When Ye Jiu heard the word "Shangchao", her head grew big, she pouted, "No, mother, you are overthinking."

Nanny Sun covered her lips and snickered, "Brother, it's because of the affairs of the court. The old servant heard that An'er is not at the house these two days, right?"

When Ye Jiu sat up straight, she laughed stiffly, "Aunt Sun is really well informed."

Grandma Sun raised her eyebrows in anger, "That's right, this old slave has been in this house for more than 20 years, and if there is any disturbance, it will naturally not escape my eyes."

Madam Lin glanced at Ye Jiu when she heard the words, "Excellent."

Ye Jiu pulled the corner of his mouth into a smile, then curled his lips, and looked at the floor beside him in a daze.

"Hey, that's not right, she is a daughter, and she hasn't returned home for two nights?"

Mrs. Lin frowned suddenly, Ye Jiu heard the words and said hastily: "The daughter of the prime minister's mansion asked a few close friends in her boudoir to talk about poetry and prose, and they had a good chat, so they stayed for two days."

Mrs. Lin let out a sigh when she heard the words, didn't ask any more questions, and returned to the topic just now:

"Jin'er, remember to send the post to the palace."

When Ye Jiu heard it, there was some conflicting emotion on his face, "Ah, mother, do you still need to post a post to the palace after your birthday?"

Mrs. Lin glared at her, "I knew you didn't listen carefully just now, so many incidents happened one after another in our Hou's mansion, who would have the heart to engage in such nonsense, my mother told you that this was ordered by the empress dowager."

Ye Jiu was a little taken aback when he heard that, "Queen Mother?"

She didn't figure it out for a long time, and asked aloud: "Why is she so busy taking care of the affairs of the courtier's family?"

Mrs. Lin patted her hastily, "Speak carefully."

Seeing Ye Jiu shut up, she explained: "What the Empress Dowager said meant that there were many disasters in the capital a few days ago, and the Holy Majesty just quelled the rebellion. Now that the capital has returned to stability, everything needs to be done. The banquet is held in the palace, but the national mourning has just passed in March, so it is inappropriate for the royal family to come forward, so I want to take advantage of my birthday to entertain the courtiers and family members, so as to appease the families of the nobles."

After hearing this, Ye Jiu's mouth twitched, "Is this kind of reason okay?"

It is obvious that he has doubts about himself, so he will use this excuse to test whether he is forming a party for personal gain.

Ye Jiu's eyes turned cold, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

Crossing the river and demolishing bridges is really a good job.

Madam Lin didn't respond, she picked up her teacup and took a sip before saying, "The one who cleans up is himself. My Marquis Mansion didn't fall down 14 years ago, and it still won't fall down today."

"Also, go and bring your wife back. As the master of the Hou's mansion, the family doesn't care about it, what a shame."

Ye Jiu raised her eyebrows when she heard the words, and the corners of her mouth raised at a visible speed. She jumped up and smiled sweetly: "That's it."

After saying that, she saluted and walked out the door quickly.

Mrs. Lin looked at her instantly cheerful figure, and shook her head amusedly, "What an enemy."

……

Beijing market.

A pale pink figure stood in front of the stall, looking at the various jewelry on the stall.

"Girl, do you want to buy jewelry?"

The boss poked his head over with a smile, and pointed to the few jadeite bracelets in front of him, "This is a high-quality item. Look at the pattern and texture, it matches the girl so well."

A dark blue figure walked out from behind the woman, and he folded his arms and snorted softly: "A high-quality goods? The color of your bracelet is not pure at all, and it is still dirty under such a big sun. Boss, please take it easy."

The boss was choked for a moment, his face drooped, and he said in a low voice, "If you want to buy it, buy it. If you don't buy it, you will fall down. Don't block me from doing business. Let's go."

Seeing this, the woman looked helplessly at the man beside her, but the man shrugged indifferently.

"Brother, if you disrupt the stage like this, you will be beaten."

The two walked not far away, Qi Shao'an raised his eyebrows and joked.

Xiao Qi snorted, "Give him ten guts, he wouldn't dare, but I..."

He suddenly fell silent, he almost forgot that he had already been fired from his official position, and he was no longer that "Xiao Xunwei".

Seeing that he suddenly stopped talking, Qi Shaoan looked at him puzzled, "What is it?"

Xiao Qi sneered, "No, it's nothing, don't you want to buy jewelry, let's go shopping again."

Qi Shaoan glanced at him suspiciously, but didn't ask any further questions, and nodded with a smile: "Okay."

"Girl, take a look at my braided pieces, they look really good on you."

After walking a few steps, a lady next to her greeted the two of them.

Qi Shaoan looked over in response, and saw many exquisite gadgets on the stalls, without exception, they were all made of grass.

There are headbands, bracelets, and even headgear.

Qi Shaoan reached out to pick up a bracelet, and began to size it up carefully.

"Shao'er, yours is so boring, look at this grasshopper, it's interesting!"

Xiao Qi glanced at the slender bracelet in Qi Shao'an's palm, on which there were two woven leaves hanging, and he was not interested in looking at it.

Qi Shaoan glanced at him, "Ma'am, I want this."

Xiao Qi persevered in selling the grasshopper in his hand, "Shaoer, don't you think about it?"

The corners of Qi Shao'an's lips raised slightly, and he said to the aunt again: "I want this too."

Xiao Qi suddenly narrowed his eyes, and his brows were slightly happy, "Shao'er still has the same vision as Brother Wei."

Qi Shaoan smiled slightly when he heard the words, and shook his head secretly.I haven't seen him for two years, my brother really hasn't changed at all.

Never say what you want directly, persuade yourself by beating around the bush, and in the end you have to sarcasm yourself.

Qi Shaoan was walking in front, Xiao Qi put away the little grasshopper carefully, and quickly caught up with her.

"Shao'er, let's go to Wu Ji in the east of the city today. It turns out that you like to eat his food the most... Hey, Shao'er, why don't you go?"

Xiao Qi almost bumped into Qi Shaoan, he poked his head over, and saw Qi Shaoan staring straight ahead, his face pale.

Xiao Qi panicked all of a sudden, he quickly shook Qi Shaoan's shoulder, and said anxiously: "Shao'er, Shao'er! What's wrong with you!"

Qi Shaoan's eyes were dull, his feet suddenly went limp, and he almost slipped from Xiao Qi's palm.

Xiao Qi was shocked, and quickly hugged Qi Shao'an, patting her cheek: "Shao'er, wake up quickly, Shao'er!"

Qi Shao'an didn't respond, he opened his mouth slightly, and his eyes gradually began to dim.

Xiao Qi was so anxious that he broke out in a cold sweat, he hugged Qi Shaoan by the waist, ran to a spacious place beside the street, gritted his teeth, and grabbed her.

"Shao'er, don't scare me, wake up!"

But here, Ye Jiu, who fell over the wall but failed, walked out of the alley tremblingly, supporting his old waist that was about to collapse.

"Brother Fei, please bring me."

Ye Jiu looked at the disheveled Dong Fei with tears in his eyes, and Dong Fei gave a rare cold snort and walked away.

I just gave her a meat pad, and I have done my best, okay?

Seeing that he was so unfeeling, Ye Jiu curled his lips and walked away by himself.

However, just as she raised her foot, her brows twitched suddenly:

"Brother Fei, look at that guy across the way who is not shy about cuddling with a woman, does he look like my... second uncle?"

The author has something to say: Xiao Qi: Yes, it’s me, and the one lying here is still your wife!
