At the Xunjiang Ferry, the wind is cold and people come and go.

Xie Qing and Su Jing were dressed in plain white, standing among the crowd, looking towards an unknown distance, the wind blew his black hair, looking from afar, he looked like an exile who was about to fly into the sky.

Guan Yan trotted all the way to come to him, and said: "My lord, the boat is about to sail, Madam is urging you to go in."

Xie Qingsu's pupils tightened, "Wait."

"This..." Guan Yan said, "But madam said that the time to leave Beijing cannot be delayed, otherwise the master will have no peace under the nine springs."

"hold on."

Xie Qingshen was explaining some trivial matters to the boatman, seeing that Xie Qingsu was motionless, she also walked over. "It seems that Xilu will not come today."

Xie Qingsu clenched his fists and said softly, "He promised me."

"He must have been stumbled by something," Xie Qingshen guessed, "Xu Mansion is not a peaceful place either."

Xie Qingsu didn't seem to understand Xie Qingshen's words, "But he promised me."

Xie Qingshen sighed, "I will go to him later and ask the reason, you go first."

Xie Qingsu lowered his eyes and murmured softly, "Why did he treat me like this?"

Just when he was about to turn around and enter the boat, a voice shouted urgently: "Mr. Xie, Mr. Xie!"

"This voice is Jiudong?" Xie Qingshen said.

Xie Qingsu suddenly turned around and saw that Jiu Dong was alone, his originally bright eyes dimmed again.Jiu Dong rushed to him, panting and said: "Master Xie, our third young lady suddenly fell ill and was dying, young master, he has to stay at home to take care of her."

"I just said, Xilu won't break the appointment for no reason. Is your lady okay?" Xie Qingxin said, turning her head to look at Xie Qingsu's face.Xie Qingsu just nodded slightly, his expression as indifferent as dust.

"Miss San is unconscious, and the young master has been guarding her." Jiu Dong handed the brocade box to Xie Qingsu, "Master Xie, this is what our young master asked me to hand over to you."

Xie Qingsu finally had a reaction. After a few breaths of silence, he stretched out his hand to open the brocade box——

Xu Xilu personally fed the medicine to Xu Anning, and she was able to drink the medicine. Pan Huai said it was a good sign.

"Second Master, you haven't closed your eyes for almost ten hours, why don't you go back to the Tidal Pavilion and lie down. There are Dr. Pan and I here, and everything will be fine."

Probably because he hasn't slept for a long time, since Jiudong came back, Xu Xilu has been in a trance, always feeling that everything around him lacks a sense of reality, as if when he wakes up again, he will find that all this is just a dream.

Xu Xilu nodded his head lightly, and was about to get up when his eyes blurred and he almost fell down, but he subconsciously supported the bedpost.

"Second Master!"

Xing Nong wanted to step forward to help him, but he gently pushed him away, "I can do it myself."

On the way back to Yinyan Pavilion, Xu Xilu was surprised to find that the snow had completely melted and melted into a pool of spring water.Soon it will be early spring, and the peach blossoms will also be in bloom.Xie Qingsu once said that he would take him to Puzhou to see peach blossoms...

"Master, Young Master Xie did not accept your jade pendant."

"He also said that the mountains are high and the waters are long. I wish you all the best in the future."

Xu Xilu was too sleepy and tired, as soon as he lay down on the bed, he fell asleep in a daze.In a trance, he seemed to see the bottomless river again, the burning house, the vines fluttering in the summer breeze, and... those eyes as deep as an ancient well.

On the third day after being in a coma, Xu Anning finally woke up.She saw Xu Xilu sitting by the bed for the first time, "Second brother?"

Xu Xilu held her hand and said with a smile, "I'm here."

Xu Anning showed an extremely weak smile, "I seem to have had a very long dream."

According to Wang Yuan's sentence, as long as Xu Anning can wake up, his life will be safe.It's just that the illness hurt the foundation of her body, and I'm afraid there are more or less sequelae.Fortunately, under the careful care of everyone, Xu Anning's body improved visibly with the naked eye. On the third day after waking up, he was able to eat by himself, and the big rock hanging in Xu Xilu's heart finally fell to the ground.

In Prince Duan's mansion, Song Yanqing stood with his hands behind his back, and hummed softly, "You also know that you are coming to find me."

"I came here specially to thank the lord." Xu Xilu said, "If the lord hadn't brought the king's court to judge, I'm afraid my third sister..."

Song Yanqing turned around and looked at him. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that Xu Xilu seemed to be less energetic than before. "Don't just say thank you, you should show your sincerity to me with something."

"I'm just a small staff officer in the forbidden army. I don't have much money. What can I give to the prince?"

Song Yanqing squinted at him, "Why don't you say that you have promised yourself now?"

Xu Xilu couldn't help laughing, "Have I ever said that?"

Song Yanqing sarcastically said: "You really are a nobleman who forgets things." He originally thought that Xu Xilu would chat with him as usual, but unexpectedly the other party just said indifferently: "Some things, it's good to forget."

It seems that he really likes his sister, otherwise he wouldn't be so unhappy because of her.This kind of Xu Xilu made Song Yanqing a little at a loss, but he couldn't let him put down his airs of being a prince and coax him in a soft voice. After thinking hard for a long time, he finally said: "If you have any difficulties, you can Tell this king."

Xu Xilu smiled, "Then please ask the prince to help me ask the court to judge again. I have something to ask him."

Xu Xilu had only waited in Prince Duan's mansion for an hour before Xuan Mo led the court judge to come.Xu Xilu first thanked him again, and then said: "That day in the Xu Mansion, Mr. Wang was vague about Sister Sister's illness. There were so many people at that time, it was indeed inconvenient. Now that you and I are in front of the lord, I hope Mr. Wang can tell the truth. "

Wang Yuanjuan looked at Song Yanqing who was drinking tea, saw the other party nodded, and then said: "There is a bird's nest in Xixia, called 'Swallow Return', which has miraculous effects on women's beauty and health, and it is a tribute. People from Xixia Every year, swallows with excellent appearance are selected from the newly born flying swallows, and they are fed with hundreds of nourishing medicinal materials every day. Many swallows die due to excessive supplementation, and only a small number of swallows can successfully produce bird's nest. Therefore , Returning swallows is extremely rare and priceless, Xixia pays a limited amount of tribute every year, as far as I know, only the queen mother, empress, and a few concubines in the palace can enjoy this item."

Xu Xilu asked: "I don't know if this Yan's return has anything to do with Sister She's illness?"

Song Yanqing said: "This king has heard of this thing a little bit. Although this swallow is very effective, there is a big taboo, that is, within an hour and a half before taking it, you must not eat food with cold sex, otherwise, the collision of heat and cold will cause people to lose weight." Very toxic in the body."

The king's court judged the beard and said: "What the lord said is very true. Every time the palace distributes swallows and returns, we must emphasize this point with the nobles. In recent years, no empress in the palace has had anything wrong. However, Yanguilai is a tribute, ordinary people don't know this, if they eat Yanguilai by mistake, and can't find out the cause of it, they are very likely to be poisoned and die."

Xu Xilu said in a hoarse voice: "So that's the case." No wonder ordinary doctors are at a loss what to do, no wonder the king's court sentenced him not to tell the truth when he was in Xu's residence.Yan Guilai is very popular, Xu Anning has been poisoned by this poison, it is inevitable that he will be involved in the palace, and they can't afford to provoke anyone in the palace who can use Yan Guihui.

Song Yanqing also thought of this, and said strangely: "The third girl of the Xu family is raised in a deep boudoir, the door is not out, and the second door is not open, how could someone use such a vicious method to harm her?"

Xu Xilu smiled coldly, "If Yan really brought her back from the palace, then I can only think of one person."

Song Yanqing was startled, and asked the court to step down before hesitating, "You're talking about Concubine Xu Yuan?"

"Apart from her, who else in the palace can send Yan Guilai to Xu's residence?"

"But," Song Yanqing said in disbelief, "isn't Miss Xu San her own sister?"

"Oh, to some people, what is a younger sister?"

Song Yanqing was silent for a moment, then said: "People's hearts are really scary."

But Xu Xilu thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't think of Xu Qingyang's motive.Although Xu Qingyang is selfish, domineering, and thinks of himself in everything, but he was raised with Xu Anning since he was a child, and they are sisters of the same father and mother. Even if the relationship is not good, it will not be to the point of poisoning others.Not to mention, Xu Qingyang has already entered the palace, is it really possible to reach into Xu's mansion with such long hands?Or... is there her helper in the mansion?
