Wang Zhijing

.

Qi Xuan brushed his hair behind his ears, this action made his frail face look more feminine.He rubbed his chest and sat up slightly, his voice was soft and weak, but quite clear.

"Emperor Yun ruled the universe and entrusted the nations to their meritorious officials. Among the fifteen major kingdoms, Luo, Lin, and Qian are the strongest, and Qin and Yu are still independent. Our Qi State and Pu State, which relies on sealing water as a barrier, must rely on Yun. Only the emperor can keep the territory comprehensive, while the other eight weak countries have already been carved up by the three powerful countries."

He paused for a while, "Su Yun, the country is strong and prosperous, and you don't worship superficiality and decorations but are true and practical. This is exactly where you should display your talents and ambitions."

"Su Yun, don't waste yourself."

I was shocked. "What the hell do you mean?!"

Qi Xuan looked at me, smiling as usual.

"Even if you don't kill me, I won't live long anyway."

It was still such a quiet voice, telling quietly.

"I'm not afraid of death. Before I die, I just beg... just beg... forget it, you won't agree anyway." He smiled self-deprecatingly.

"Su Yun, I don't ask for anything else, I just want you to be safe."

"Enough!" The rage nearly drove me out of my mind.

"Enough! Enough!" He yelled at him like a growl, and with the force of standing up suddenly, he overturned the low table beside the bed, and the medicine bag was thrown to the ground, and the medicine bottles, medicinal materials and sundries were scattered all over the ground.

"Qi Xuan," I trembled all over, pointing at him and yelling sharply, "I don't want to hear you say such nonsense anymore!"

Qi Xuan stared at me blankly for a long while.

Suddenly, smiling brightly, like a peony in full bloom, the country is beautiful and heavenly.

"Su Yun, what do you call me? It's not 'jun shang', not 'hun jun'? Am I right? This is the first time you call me by my name! I...I'm so happy!"

19. Su Yun - Embarrassed

Fog gathers in those eyes that are as dark as night, and the tip of Qi Juan's pale nose turns slightly rosy, and he actually weeps with joy.

Facing such a pair of eyes, for a moment, I was at a loss.

He looked at me and seemed to be taken aback.For a moment, his lips moved slightly.

"Su Yun, I'm really..."

"say no more!"

I turned around hastily, running too fast and too fast, I didn't know how many precious medicinal materials were trampled under my feet, I didn't dare to turn back, and ran straight to the door.

Embarrassed.

If there is any word in the world that can describe my current situation and mood, then it is these two words - embarrassment!

Whether I want to admit it or not, it's a lie to say I'm not moved.

But how can I be moved!

When I ran out of the study, I felt like I was on the run.I suddenly realized what a mistake I had made!

Not only Minmin, but also me, even myself should never meet Qi Xuan again, talk to him, or even look at him again.

This person, this bastard, this bloodthirsty tyrant, this demon whom I only want to kill quickly, how much magical power does he have to turn all living beings upside down!

"Master, you... are you okay?"

I can't remember exactly how many times this old servant was completely terrified.Zheng Zhong's voice trembled violently, and there was no trace of blood on his wrinkled face.

I stood still, inhaled deeply, exhaled, and tried my best to regain my sanity.

"Master..."

I waved my hand and interrupted Zheng Zhong's inquiry.

"Uncle Zhong, is everything ready?"

Zheng Zhong was stunned, he was relieved to see my face turn, and his voice returned to his usual peace and stability: "Yes, everything is ready. Cheng Hai and all the servants said that they are willing to return home with Second Miss. Everyone They are all packing their bags and hiring a car to prepare dry food. There should be no problem leaving tonight."

I nodded, relieved.

"Uncle Zhong, thank you." I took the rough black and thin hand of the old servant and squeezed it tightly in the palm, "Minmin, I will leave it to you."

"Young Master." Zheng Zhong suddenly fell short and fell to his knees.

I was taken aback.

"Let me stay. No matter what happens next, let the old servant follow you."

Feeling warm in my heart, I took his hand to help him up.

Zheng Zhong is the only person in the mansion who knows the identity of Qi Xuan, and also the only person who knows the whole story.He was once my father's personal entourage and is now my confidant.My name is master and servant, but I have seen me grow up since I was a child, and my friendship has been with me for many years, not father and son, but better than relatives.

I love him and trust him.His loyalty, stability and ability have helped my father and me to overcome many difficulties.

"Uncle Zhong, thank you." I lightly patted the old man's hunched shoulders and shook my head, "You know my plan, you can't stay."

"Young Master, I know that you are not afraid of anything for the sake of Master, Madam and Miss. I have watched you grow up, and I know very well what you are like. It is more painful to implicate innocent people than to make yourself suffer. "

I smiled and nodded: "Uncle Zhong, it's good that you understand. Let's take everyone away, don't stop on the road, and let parents take Minmin to leave Qi country immediately when you get home."

Zheng Zhong was shaking his head.

"I don't want to embarrass you, nor do I want to die, but think about it, if you are the only one left, can you deal with that stupid king?"

My heart trembled, and my face probably changed. Zheng Zhong looked at me and continued: "After all, the old servant is over 70 people, and he sees people's hearts more or less. You don't have to hide it from me, I can see it too." Come out, Qi Xuan treats you very differently. You are a soft-hearted and compassionate child, and to deal with someone like him, I'm afraid you have more than enough heart but not enough strength."

"Young Master," Zheng Zhong grabbed my cold hand, "Let me stay and help you. In the final analysis, the most important thing is to spend this time safely so that Master and the others can escape safely!"

My heart is in turmoil.Chaos like never before.It was so chaotic that I almost lost the ability to make a decision.

"Young Master," Zheng Zhong was still persuading, "You can't see Qi Xuan anymore. Let the old servant take care of him for the rest of the time. Only in this way can you concentrate on dealing with the court and people in the palace."

I'm still hesitating.

"Don't hesitate, just make a decision like this, okay? Eldest young master, I beg you!"

I opened my mouth with difficulty, my mind still in a mess.

"Uncle Zhong, let me think again. It's too dangerous to stay and it's not worth it."

"Master!"

"Let me be quiet for a while, let me think about it." I rubbed my forehead, and my head hurt badly.I patted Uncle Zhong's hand, "Give me some time, and I will tell you the decision."

20. Su Yun－Qing Er

Xiang Wan, the setting sun weeping blood, although the capital of Qi State is located in the south of the Yunhe River, but autumn is bleak and the weather is getting colder and colder.

The wind stopped suddenly.In the evening, a burst of autumn rain came unexpectedly.The ancient city walls and the lonely courtyard are silent in the continuous rain.

The world seems to be still, only the autumn rain is like complaints, like light smoke, like mist, lingering in the pavilions and streets, and the people of the market.

Outside the window, the world is hazy.

There is only a light purple in my sight.It was a purple bamboo umbrella with 48 ribs. One afternoon many years ago, it was raining like this.The private school was far away from home, so I didn't bring an umbrella, so I sat under the eaves of the porch and waited for the rain to stop.

In the distance, a hazy purple came into view, like a light petal, spinning and dancing in the rain.

"Qingmei, why are you here?"

I looked at the girl's drenched embroidered shoes and asked in surprise.

"I..." The girl's face was instantly smeared with red clouds, "It's raining, you haven't come back yet..." Her voice was like a mosquito moaning, she was too ashamed to speak, and held the purple bamboo umbrella in my arms. A stop in the middle, turned around and ran back into the rain.

"Sister Qing..."

I stared blankly at the figure going away, and after a long time, I remembered to call her.But she has run away and can never be called back.

When I was young, I lived across the wall from the Ni family, and many old people in the village watched me and Qing'er grow up.People love to describe us as childhood sweethearts.

Later, when she grew up, she was not as close as she was when she was a child, so she didn't come to the house often to play.Come here, I'm also looking for my little sister. When I see me, I always keep my head down and don't speak.

I also felt very embarrassed. When I saw her, I was always at a loss and didn't know what to say.Minmin is a mischievous person, and I don't know whether she really doesn't understand or is pretending to be confused. Seeing us standing face to face in silence, tilting his head to look at me, then at her, he said strangely: "Huh? You What are the two of you doing? They were thinking about it all day long, why didn't they talk when they met?"

Qing'er and I were in a great embarrassment, our faces were red.

…………

The past is like rain, like smoke.

The carefree and youthful childhood is like a dream when I think about it now.

It would be great if time could be turned back.

Qinger, Qinger...

I think it hurts how much you think about it, do you know?

Why take a road of no return?

What chastity?What reputation?I never cared, you know it!

The heart-piercing pain invaded my heart again. I carefully put away the purple bamboo umbrella and put it back in the corner.

For some reason, pain calms me.The restless and tense heartstrings are slowly relaxing unconsciously.I took a deep breath, letting the cold autumn chill settle in my chest and lungs.

The feeling of calm and tranquility finally returned.I felt an almost comfortable stability, and a firm strength was firmly in my hands again.I thought, I can face anything.

Thank you, Qinger.

Zheng Zhong has been waiting in front of the door.He looked a bit surprised when he saw me walking out, but he was relieved in an instant.The old face that has portrayed countless years of wind and rain showed a gratified smile, but it was also a little bit sad.

"Uncle Zhong..."

"Needless to say, young master, I know your decision."

I'm not surprised, Uncle Zhong knows me too well, sometimes even better than my parents.

"Young master, don't worry, I will
