The dark guard rode fast all the way, changed two horses through various post stations, and never rested at night. Only after a day and a half did he feel supported and delivered the letter to Feng Yuyi.

Feng Yuyi was listening to his subordinates, when he heard the letter, he immediately asked the soldiers to bring him in.

"My lord." The dark guard didn't look sideways, he didn't look at the person kneeling in front of him at all, he walked up and lowered his voice, "Miss Xi's letter is extremely important."

After a while, Feng Yuyi finished reading this brief letter, his eyes lingering on the words "remember to be careful" for a long time.It was all about the signs of the locust plague in the beginning, but at the end, these four characters were written suddenly, which looked very abrupt, and she could even imagine the entanglement of the other party writing these four characters.

But no matter what, the other party's worry made her extremely heart-warming, and the melancholy of so many days was washed away in an instant.

"My lord?" Seeing her gentle expression, the people below became more courageous, wiped off the hot sweat from their foreheads, and continued, "The weather is hot now, and the soldiers have fainted a few times, can we wait a few days before carrying out the search work? ?”

The person who spoke was Cheng Ran, an official sent by the court to be her deputy. He said he was a deputy, but he was from the prime minister's side, and he used to be lazy in his work.The weather has changed a lot in the past few days, and the weather is hot. The other party has mentioned the plan to postpone the search for locust eggs more than once, but she never agreed.

"No need." Feng Yuyi put away the letter and stood up, returning to his indifferent appearance, and glanced at him, "Not only can we not rest, we have to hurry up and try to finish it today and tomorrow."

In fact, she was aware of it before the letter arrived, because it was very cool a few days ago, and the weather was so hot these days, but now Xi Yutong explained to her that all these anomalies were signs before the locust plague came.

Cheng Ran was stunned for a moment, then got up subconsciously: "My lord, the weather is so hot, you have to think about it for the brothers, if all the soldiers have posted good or bad things, how will you explain to His Majesty?"

Feng Yuyi raised his eyes to look at him, she was a little shorter than Cheng Ran in serious calculation, but when she looked at him, Cheng Ran subconsciously hissed, and subconsciously lowered his head to avoid seeing him.

"This king is here to prevent locust plagues." Feng Yuyi said coldly, "Master Cheng, this is not in the capital. Believe it or not, if you say a few more words to rest, this king can ask for a booklet tomorrow." Said that Mr. Cheng was exposed to the sun and rain for work, and finally fell in the field?"

She spoke extremely slowly, each word fell like a stone on Cheng Ran's heart, stirring up a stormy sea.

But when he came back to his senses, he was extremely angry.He is a member of the prime minister, no one would give him some face, but Feng Yuyi made such a threat, and he was scared and angry in his heart.

But when he met Feng Yuyi's stern eyes, his heart trembled, and he felt that Feng Yuyi was not joking, and would really let him die of exhaustion on the field as the words said.

Clearly aware of this, there was no anger in his heart, only fear.

Feng Yuyi didn't want to waste time with unnecessary people, "Master Cheng, please return to your post now."

Cheng Ran didn't dare to have any further opinions, so he responded weakly, and then left here quickly.

When he left, Feng Yuyi called the soldiers at the door: "Give me all the officials from Huafu to come here one by one."

Most of Huafu's officials are from the prime minister. When she came over, those people flattered her on the surface, but they never arranged any manpower secretly.She thought that there was enough time, and thousands of officers and soldiers would be enough to search for the locust eggs. She never thought that if the time was shortened suddenly, manpower would be urgently needed, and she could only mobilize officers and soldiers from Huafu.

When the soldier who sent the message left, Feng Yuyi called the hidden guards around him to arrange a good show.

Time is urgent, and she doesn't want to be soft, she just wants to be hard.

If you don't obey, then kill others as an example. She doesn't believe that these officials who are greedy for pleasure are not afraid of death.If one chicken is not enough, then come two, there is always a time to be afraid.

After ordering, she looked at the hidden guard who delivered the letter: "Did you come here overnight?"

Seeing the other party nodding, she waved her hand: "In that case, you go to rest first and go back tomorrow."

"Yes, my lord."

Before the soldiers came to deliver the message, officials from Huafu were rushing to the county magistrate one after another.

On a remote path, two carriages met unexpectedly, and strangely, the decorations of the two carriages were almost the same, even the horses were the same.

The coachman glanced at the carriage opposite him, and then at his lord's carriage, always feeling a little strange.Just as he was about to make way for the other party, a few people rushed down from the opposite carriage.

Oops.

The coachman thought he had encountered robbers, and was about to remind the people in the carriage to be careful, when he saw the group of people approaching him.

Before he could react, he saw a puff of white smoke being sprayed over. Before he could say anything, his body fell down.

"boom--"

Probably heard the movement, someone in the carriage came out to check, "Why—"

The previous person waved his hand, another puff of white smoke drifted past, and the speaker fell down.

"Take care of this coachman." While speaking, the two men got into the carriage.

"Who are you? I'm the county magistrate. You—" Before the man in official uniform could finish speaking, his head sank and he tilted to one side.

"I didn't expect to buy one and get one free." Among them, the slightly thin man recognized another silent official in official uniform, exchanged glances with the people around him, and then changed into their clothes tacitly.

After cleaning up unnecessary things, one carriage turned around, and the other carriage continued to move forward.

Governor's residence.

Lin Yizhi, the governor, sat in the first seat, Cheng Ran stood beside him, and other small officials were in the lower seats.Because the matters to be discussed today are extremely strict, there are only officials in this room, and the guards are arranged outside.

"My lord, this prince has led his soldiers to search the fields every day, and he can remove a lot of locust eggs every day. Is it possible that the plague of locusts is really coming?"

"By the way, I heard that the prince really found a lot of insect eggs. Now the people are very worried."

……

Everyone was talking about it, all of them were worried and afraid of the locust plague.

"That's enough, what's the noise?" The person in the upper seat patted the table and waited for the room to quiet down before speaking, "I have been the magistrate for many years, and I have never heard of any locust plagues. There are locust eggs in the field, isn't that Is it normal? There are locusts every year, what are you afraid of?"

The people below looked at each other in blank dismay, and the person who spoke before spoke first again, "My lord, that's not what I said. If there were no locust plagues, Your Majesty wouldn't have sent the prince down to take care of it, would he?"

The rest nodded in unison.

"What do you know?" Lin Yizhi disapproved, "The capital is far away from the emperor, so how can His Majesty know if there will be a plague of locusts here? It seems that he wants to give credit to the prince with an excuse. If you don't believe me, ask Mr. Cheng."

Cheng Ran nodded: "What the governor said is true."

The person who spoke earlier said again, "My lord, what do you know?"

Lin Yizhi glanced at him and recognized the magistrate, and then said: "Magistrate, have you forgotten the prime minister's order?"

The magistrate paused, lowered his eyes, and shook his head: "I don't dare to forget, I'm just worried that if the plague of locusts is real, then..."

"Okay, don't be alarmist." Lin Yizhi waved his hand, "Regardless of whether there is a plague of locusts, the prime minister has ordered not to help him. Don't you dare to disobey?"

As soon as these words came out, these people dared not speak again.

Lin Yizhi looked satisfied, and said: "You don't need to do anything, just wait like me, and don't send any people. In the past few days, the prince and the soldiers from the court are all delicate and expensive. It won't last for two days."

As soon as the words fell, a voice came from far to near. Before everyone could react, they felt a gust of wind blowing over.

"Then I'm really sorry, so in the eyes of the governor, I'm so weak?"

When everyone came back to their senses, there was an extra figure at some point next to the Governor-General.

After recognizing the person, everyone knelt down in fear: "I have seen the prince."

"Why, didn't you just talk about this king having a good time, so you want to continue?" Feng Yuyi kicked the person in front of him away, and directly sat in the other person's seat, with an extremely arrogant attitude, "Go on, this king is listening."

Lin Yizhi was terrified in his heart, not knowing how much she had heard.If it’s just the last sentence, then that’s okay, if you heard everything, then...

Seeing his expression, Feng Yuyi sneered: "I walked near the governor's mansion earlier, thinking of saying hello to the governor, but I never thought that I overheard your words by accident. It turns out that the prime minister's reason for your refusal to help is the prime minister. , but this king was a little surprised."

Lin Yi's legs softened, and he quickly knelt down, "My lord, you must have misheard. The minister and your lords only discussed how to deal with the locust plague, and did not mention the prime minister and the lord."

Feng Yuyi looked at the kneeling person below with his hands on his chin, and glanced at Cheng Ran who was shivering, before asking: "Then Governor Lin, tell me, what can you discuss?"

Lin Yizhi also temporarily made excuses, how could he think of any way to deal with it in a short time?Immediately sweating anxiously.

At this moment, a voice sounded: "My lord, the governor felt that only the lord sent soldiers to prevent locust plagues these days, but his subordinates and others couldn't help. He was really ashamed, so he summoned his subordinates." Wait until all the officials, big and small, come to discuss how many soldiers can be mobilized to solve your problems."

Lin Yi subconsciously turned around, saw that the speaker was the county magistrate, he was stunned for a moment, then ignored it, and quickly said: "My lord, that's what I think, and I really don't talk about my lord." If you disobey the prime minister, it's like hurting yourself and the prime minister.

Cheng Ran next to him subconsciously raised his head to say something, but met Feng Yuyi's eyes, remembering what the other party said earlier, he was so frightened that he didn't dare to make a sound, he could only lower his head in a cold sweat.

Although the prime minister gave orders, but the other party is far away in the capital, far away water cannot save the near fire, if they are dealt with by Feng Yuyi here, they will be rewarded if they die and return to Beijing.

Feng Yuyi withdrew his gaze, twitched the corner of his mouth, and looked at Lin Yizhi with a very oppressive gaze: "Oh, have you discussed how many soldiers to transfer to this officer?"

Lin Yi's heart trembled, and he replied distressedly: "One thousand."

Feng Yuyi raised her eyebrows and leaned back in the chair, "Governor Lin, you are not sincere. The governor can mobilize up to 5000 people, but you only give me 1000 people?" After speaking, she got up and came to the other party , kicked him on the shoulder, kicked him to the ground, and said with a half-smile, "Are you sending beggars away?"

Lin Yizhi didn't expect her to be so unreasonable, she would do it as soon as she said she would do it, without giving anyone a chance to react.I don't know if it's because of the stronger strength, or what, looking at the fierce eyes, he couldn't get up, or the officials behind came to help him stand up tremblingly.

When Cheng Ran saw it, he trembled even more, he didn't dare to make a sound at all, and he was the only one who kept kneeling.

Feng Yuyi raised his eyebrows: "Has this king asked you to wake up?"

With the governor in front, those people were terrified of him. Hearing this, they let go of the governor and knelt down, so that Lin Yi's legs went limp and he knelt heavily.

Feng Yuyi returned to his seat, took out the long sword hanging from his waist, threw it down, and asked again: "Governor, I ask again, how many people do you want to mobilize?"

This group of officials was raised and treated with dignity in Hua. They had never seen such a battle before, and they trembled a long time ago and dared not speak.

Lin Yizhi could see the long sword when he lowered his head. The blade was so sharp that it was estimated that one blow would fall to the ground.Thinking of Feng Yuyi's situation when he came to Wuying again, he realized something, sighed, and fell down instantly: "How many people does the lord want?"

"You always need someone to protect you, so I'm not greedy." Feng Yuyi got up and walked towards him, picked up the sword, and raised Lin Yizhi's jaw with the tip of the sword, "Then leave you 500 people, I want 500 people, no one more, no one less, do you understand?"

The sharp point of the sword pierced the skin, and Lin Yizhi felt the increased force in his chin and throat, and immediately lost the will to resist, and quickly responded "Yes", and said, "You can do as much as you want."

When the sword tip was removed, he raised his hand to touch his chin, and his fingertips were indeed stained with blood.

"I'm going to see someone at my mansion this afternoon." Feng Yuyi wiped off the blood on the opponent's body with his sword in distaste, and then put it back into the scabbard. The king will make it clear in the booklet."

After finishing speaking, her figure dissipated with the wind, and everyone realized that the other party had left long ago, and all that was left was a shadow.

"It's said that the prince has great martial arts skills, but I didn't expect him to be so powerful." Zhixian said with emotion, drawing everyone's attention back.

Everyone, especially Lin Yizhi, thought of the scene just now, and immediately lost the idea of ​​obedience and disobedience.If he really angered the other party, he might be assassinated by the other party one day without anyone knowing.

"Everyone, let's do this first today." With his chin covered, Lin Yizhi waved his hand and told everyone to go down, "Magistrate, please—" Before he finished speaking, he saw that the magistrate disappeared, and his heart sank. shock.

Cheng Ran stood up and bowed to him: "My lord, I will report this matter truthfully, please rest assured."

Now they are grasshoppers on the same rope, and to excuse each other is to excuse themselves, and he naturally understands this truth.

Hearing what he said, Lin Yizhi felt relieved, "Please trouble Mr. Cheng."

After another hour, Lin Yizhi mobilized his soldiers to go to Prince Yi's side. As soon as he returned to the mansion, he heard a servant come to report: "The county magistrate is asking to see you."

Lin Yizhi was puzzled and asked the other party to come in.

As soon as this person came in, he was furious: "Magistrate, what are you doing with your naked clothes?"

"Master Governor, please make the decision for the lower officials." The two county magistrates said with tears and snot in a hurry.

The two spoke in unison, talking nonsense, but Lin Yizhi barely understood. The two were beaten unconscious on the way to the appointment, and their clothes were robbed and thrown on the wild mountains. They finally came to the Governor's Mansion because they were worried about each other. What will be done for them.

"You mean that you have been on the road just now, did not appear here, let alone participated in this discussion?"

Seeing the two nodding, Lin Yizhi thought of the magistrate who was exactly the same as the two, staggeringly sitting on the chair.

Now that things have happened, how can he not understand Feng Yuyi's strategy?

First, he appeared suddenly, and Yanming heard the conversation, which made him terrified, and the magistrate in disguise took the opportunity to propose to dispatch troops. In order to save himself, he could only follow along without thinking, and stepped into the other party's trap step by step.

Now that the soldiers have been transferred, so what if they know the truth?

Lin Yizhi remembered that he still wanted to thank the county magistrate who made an excuse for him, and immediately vomited out a mouthful of blood.

"Your Excellency Governor." The two county magistrates were taken aback and hurriedly called for a doctor.

After a while, the entire governor's mansion was busy.

the second

Just as Xi Yutong was worried about, after five days of hot weather, it finally ushered in a downpour after the scorching sun at noon.

The rain was overwhelming, and the ground kept crashing, as if to dispel the long-drought heat.

The rainwater accumulated in the yard, even reaching the ankle.

Although someone asked to cover it with tarpaulin in advance, most of the dry branches of the peach blossom tree were broken by the wind and rain. Even through the tarpaulin, Xi Yutong could hear the "click" sound of broken branches from inside.

She watched and listened, but felt very dull in her heart. She closed the window and couldn't see the peach blossom tree outside, so she turned her head and asked: "There is still no reply from the lord?"

Xiaohe and Xiaotao shook their heads in unison: "I asked this morning, and the people in the palace said no, but I want to ask again?"

"It's raining so hard, you probably have to be washed away when you go out." Xi Yutong shook his head, and then remembered something, "Is there an arrangement for the Porcelain Workshop?"

Because the weather is hot these days and there are fewer customers, she asked Cui Qingyao to arrange a rest and not to do business these days, so as not to overheat people.As for the suburbs where porcelain is made, all work is stopped, and the monthly payment is still paid as usual.You can earn less money, but it's not worth it if this person is too hot.

Xiaohe occasionally went over to take a look, knowing the situation there very well, and immediately replied: "We have built some houses near the porcelain workshop before, so there should be no problem."

Xi Yutong asked something else, and the topics jumped a little too fast, and Xiaohe next to her answered too many answers, so she could hear the worry in her heart.

Seeing that the other party was frowning, Xiao He asked: "Miss, are you worried about the prince?"

Xi Yutong nodded, "After the drought, it rained heavily. After the heavy rain, it will be..." Locust plague.I don't know if the letter was delivered in time. If it can be delivered in advance, then I'm still alive. If it can't be delivered, then...

She refused to think about the image.

Seeing her gloomy expression, Xiaohe and Xiaotao wanted to change the subject.

Xiao He thought for a while: "Miss, why don't the servants go get the chess pieces and play with you."

Xiao Tao nodded.

Xi Yutong shook her head, went back to the bed and sat down, touched the sachet beside the pillow, "No, I want to be alone, you go down first."

"Yes." Xiaotao was a little worried, but she had said so, so she could only leave with Xiaohe.

When the two left, Xi Yutong just lay on the bed, picked up the sachet next to the pillow sideways, opened the bag, and carefully took out the red stone inside.

The red stone used to have some edges and corners, but now it is extremely smooth, which shows that the owner has touched it a lot in the past.

"As Mr. Xin said, I want to take revenge, so don't let anything happen to you." Xi Yutong lowered her eyes, looked at the red stone, thinking of someone far away in Huafu.

"If I had known I would have thought more about the future, I would have given more advice in the letter." Thinking of only saying "remember to be careful" in her letter, she regretted writing it too casually.

Just when she was muttering whether she should copy Buddhist scriptures to pray for someone, Xiao Tao's voice came from outside.

"Miss, there is a letter."

Not caring about wearing shoes, Xi Yutong hurried out, "Is there a letter from the lord?"

"Yes." Xiaotao held an umbrella from far to near, came through the rain curtain, and put away the umbrella when she came under the eaves, "Just now, the servant wanted to go to the door to have a look, but I didn't expect to see someone from the palace. "

As she said that, she took out a letter from her bosom and handed it over, only to realize that the young lady was not wearing shoes, but only socks, and quickly said "Hey", "Miss, why did you come out without wearing shoes. "

"Nothing." Xi Yutong waved his hand, "I'll be back in a while."

She took the letter and saw some rainwater on the letter. She glanced at Xiaotao and saw that the other party's clothes were almost wet. Knowing that the two maids were worried about her, she was moved and waved her hands quickly: "Hurry up and change clothes. Xiaohe , you cook some ginger soup for her, so as not to catch a cold."

Xiao He smiled and nodded.

Back in the house, Xi Yutong opened the letter.

Probably knowing her worry, Feng Yuyi didn't say any molesting words this time, and simply explained the current situation of Huafu's prevention, saying that he would be back within ten days, and then asked about the situation in the capital.

In the past two days, they had attached things, and even teased herself. Xi Yutong was not used to being so serious this time, and after seeing that there was indeed nothing else in the envelope, she pursed her lips.

Ignoring the strangeness in her heart, she got up and prepared to write a reply.

It's raining heavily now, and it's not convenient for people from Yuemoyi's mansion to deliver letters.

After she wrote a few words, she stuffed it into the envelope, put the letter by her hand, and sat back on the bed.

Sitting on the bed, looking at the letter on the table.She remembered that she didn't mention herself, got up, wanted to add something, but didn't take two steps, thought of something, sat down again, lifted the quilt and lay back on the bed.

The other party didn't even greet her, if she took the initiative to mention it, wouldn't she be weaker?

Thinking of this, Xi Yutong closed his eyes and planned to take a nap.

I don’t know if it’s because she’s always thinking about the things in her previous life these days, but now she’s not sleeping soundly, dreaming about things in her previous life, sometimes she looks like a girl, sometimes she stays in the cold palace by herself, sometimes It was seeing her father with a bad head and blood, and sometimes it was taking her to spoil and spoil the gentle Feng Yuyi.

Various fragments are mixed together, sometimes happy and joyful, sometimes remorse and hatred, all kinds of emotions accumulate in the bottom of my heart.

In the end, the picture stayed on Feng Yuyi's appearance, the other party had a pained face, as if he was talking about something, she wanted to go over to listen carefully, but she heard someone calling in her ear.

"Miss, miss, wake up quickly."

"Miss, the wine you planted under the peach blossom tree was washed away by the rain, so please wake up, Xiaotao, please."

very noisy.

The voice became louder and louder, and she felt a pain in her head, and the appearance of Feng Yuyi in front of her suddenly disappeared.

When she opened her eyes, she was taken aback by what she saw, and then realized that this was her boudoir, and she had already been reborn, not in the cold palace.

"Xiao Tao." She sat up supported by Xiao Tao and the other two, and rubbed her sore head, "What's wrong with me?"

Before the two could speak, a familiar voice came in: "You are a nightmare."

Only then did Xi Yutong notice that there were other people in the room, and she was a little surprised: "Mr. Xin, why are you here?" Then she realized that she looked at the two complainingly, "It's raining heavily, so it's not a big deal for me, why? Just trouble Mr. Xin to walk around."

"You drink this medicine first." The old doctor handed the medicine in his hand to Xiao He, then pulled a chair and sat down beside him, half-complaining, "As the saying goes, "sadness hurts the lungs, anger hurts the liver, and sorrows the spleen. "Didn't the old man tell you to be careful when you contracted a cold and fell into a coma earlier? You are always so sentimental at a young age, and it is easy to hurt your body."

Xiaohe fed the medicine spoonful by spoonful, drinking until Xi Yutong frowned.

so bitter.

After drinking a few spoonfuls, Xi Yutong couldn't take it any longer, so she brought it over and drank it all in one gulp. The bitter feeling remained in her mouth, and she quickly looked at Xiaotao: "Water."

Xiao Tao got up to pour water, and the old doctor shrugged his shoulders in an extremely dishonest way: "I forgot to mention, this medicine is a bit bitter."

Xi Yutong took the water glass and drank it down in one gulp. He drank two glasses of water in succession to dilute the bitter taste in his mouth and throat.Hearing what he said, she immediately rolled her eyes angrily: "Next time, if the medicine is bitter, please tell me in advance." Thinking of Feng Yuyi's drinking of medicine, she added, "At least two Candied dates."

"This old man is a doctor, not a small vendor selling candied dates." The old doctor stroked his beard and looked at her meaningfully.

Xi Yutong was stunned for a moment, "My lord..."

"Bring your own." The old doctor said "how did you know?" "My lord just wanted to tease you."

Xi Yutong: ...

the third

After selling his apprentice, the old doctor put away his laziness in the past, and said with a serious face, "Come back to business, do you know why you have this nightmare?"

Xi Yutong lowered her eyes, "I know."

It's not that she doesn't know, but she doesn't know what to do.Daddy's death was like a thorn in her heart, and the future would be like an awl hanging over her head. If she made a wrong step, the tragedy of her previous life would repeat.Sometimes when I close my eyes, I can dream of my father being arrested and imprisoned, but I can't do anything about it.

"You should learn from your maid, she has a good temper." The old doctor looked at her like that, and looked at Xiaotao next to her, "Crazy, you can live carefree, and you can be at ease. If you think too much, one day you will be happy." worn out."

Xiaotao was angry, but she knew that the other party wanted to relieve her young lady, so she could only hold back with a blushing face, but there was an old doctor named Mr. Xin in her heart.

Xi Yutong tilted her head, saw Xiaotao's appearance, and shook her head in disgust.

The old doctor followed her line of sight and shook his head: "Forget it, the lord can't stand such a ruckus."

Xiaotao who was rejected again and again: "..."

"Sometimes, just go with your heart." The old doctor saw that her expression was a little better, and said, "I used to think about this and that, but in the end, I never thought that my family would die because of me." Gone."

Xi Yutong thought of his father who was implicated and imprisoned suddenly in his last life, and nodded with feeling.

"Actually, I hated everyone at that time, the people who killed my family, and even His Majesty who sent me to other places. If he hadn't transferred me away, I would have been able to protect my family instead of living alone, even my I also thought about assassinating the emperor."

The old doctor looked at her, his eyes seemed to see through everything, "At that time, the Feng Dynasty was not as happy as the people now. At that time, the Feng Dynasty lost the battle, its prestige was greatly reduced, and the surrounding enemy countries were staring at it. If there is no emperor, and the new emperor is underage, Feng The DPRK will definitely be divided into territories of other countries.”

Xi Yutong thought of his previous life, lowered his head and remained silent.

"The Feng Dynasty is getting stronger every day, which is much more important than the hatred in my heart." The old doctor lifted his chin proudly, "And I am still young, after so many years, I finally got rid of the emperor. Is it revenge?"

Xi Yutong was originally sad in his heart, but when he heard the latter sentence, he couldn't hold back his serious face.

The two Xiaotao next to him were similar, they were pitiful to the old doctor at first, but after hearing the last sentence, they were immediately amused.

"Mr. Xin." Xi Yutong was worried that the other party would make a "joke" again, so he waved his hand, "Mr. Xin is bothering you, Yutong will think about it."

Seeing her like this, the old doctor didn't say much.After all, everything that should be said has been said, and only by seeing it for yourself can you see it.

Probably because Xiaotao and the others were afraid that she would be bored, so they opened the window again. Seeing that it was still raining heavily outside, she quickly said, "Mr. Xin, it's raining so hard, do you want to wait a while before going back?"

Mr. Xin waved his hands, carried the medicine box on his back, picked up the oil umbrella next to him, and said without turning his head, "No, the rain probably won't stop until tomorrow. If it takes too long, I won't be able to eat the delicious meal cooked by the cook in the palace." Good food."

As she spoke, she thought of something, and looked back at her, "Sometimes you can only experience wind and rain before you can be reborn from Nirvana. Everything has a cause and effect, just like your tree, if you take care of it carefully, it can indeed experience less wind and rain at this time, but in the end Not necessarily the best."

As soon as the voice fell, the figure disappeared, obviously using lightness kung fu.

What a strange old man.

Xi Yutong read the other party's words, and then remembered something, and asked Xiaohe to prepare pen and ink.

Xiao He was surprised: "Miss, you just finished taking the medicine, why don't you take a rest?"

Xi Yutong waved his hand, put on his shoes and got up: "I'm just writing some letters, nothing will happen."

Seeing her firm attitude, Xiao He could only get a cloak and put it on her, "It's raining and it's cold, miss needs to be more careful."

Xi Yutong thanked her, then went back to the desk, took out the original letter, tore it up and threw it aside before picking up the pen again.

As the old doctor said, the heavy rain did not stop until the next day.

It was raining heavily, and Xiaotao couldn't go out. After finishing the work, she moved a small chair and sat at the door to watch the rain. She found out the first time the rain stopped. She went outside the eaves and stretched out her hands to test it out. She was sure that there was no rain. Then he shouted in the direction of the yard: "Miss, the rain has stopped."

Xiao He, who was holding a basin next to him, passed by, and couldn't help saying with emotion: "It finally stopped."

Although the heavy rain can eliminate the dry heat brought by the previous few days, but the heavy rain makes it inconvenient to do anything, even the changed clothes cannot be taken out to bask in the sun.

Seeing Xiaotao's cheerful appearance, Xiaohe shook her head, and entered the room with a basin in her hand.

Xi Yutong who just woke up put on his shoes, "I heard what Xiaotao said, has the rain stopped?"

Xiao He nodded, "Yes, that silly girl is enjoying herself." Then, she put down the basin beside her, wrung out a hot towel and handed it to her, "Miss."

"In such a heavy rain, she can only stay in the room. She must be bored, so don't worry about her." Xi Yutong wiped her face, then washed her hands and rinsed her mouth. After cleaning, she stretched and came to the door.

After the rain, the sky is sunny, and the air smells fresh, even with a damp smell.

Xi Yutong lowered his head and saw that the rain in the courtyard on the right had accumulated overnight and soaked up to the steps. He waved his hand and called Xiao Tao back, "There is so much rain, you can ask a few maids to clean it up later." When she turned around, she saw the peach blossoms covered by the oilcloth Tree, her heart moved, and she walked over there.

Xiaotao hurriedly followed, "Miss, be careful when slipping."

The oilcloth was a bit heavy, and Xi Yutong couldn't use the bamboo pole for a while, so he could only ask two people to help.

The three of them struggled a lot before they got the oilcloth off. When the oilcloth fell off, it broke another branch.

Xi Yutong looked at the branches on the ground, and then looked up at the peach blossom tree. Nine out of ten trunks were broken, leaving only a few solitary sections.

"Miss." Xiaotao knew the significance of this peach blossom tree to her lady, and comforted her softly, "This peach blossom tree will grow back next year, so you don't have to worry."

Xi Yutong shook his head, raised his hand to touch the trunk, with reluctance.

"This peach blossom tree was planted by my mother when she was pregnant with me, and it has been 13 years now." She thought of the dry peach blossom tree in her previous life, which seemed to overlap with the tree in front of her, "It won't bloom again next year. "

In her last life, she had been looking forward to it for a long time, but in the end, she never opened it again.Although the peach blossom wine is still the same, it is not made from this peach blossom.

"Miss, you're thinking too much." Xiao Tao didn't care, "When we brewed the peach blossom wine this year, it was still so lush, why won't it bloom next year?"

Xi Yutong didn't explain, took out a handkerchief to wipe off the water stains on his palms, and calmed down his emotions: "Xiao He, help me deliver the letter to Prince Yi's Mansion. As for Xiao Tao, go to the kitchen and order something for Duan."

The two maids were a little worried, but she had given her orders and could only follow through.

Xi Yutong stopped in place, staring at the bare branches, and turned back to the house after a while.

Just as she walked up the steps, she stopped, lowered her head, and closed her eyes.

It's not her illusion, but there is really a heat flowing in her body.

Could it be that after taking the medicine for many days, she really felt it?

Xi Yutong looked pleasantly surprised, and was about to go back to the house to have a good feeling.Just as he walked up the steps, he heard a burst of noisy footsteps. He turned around and looked back. It was Xiao He who had gone and returned. Standing beside him were Mr. Xin and a man in black.

She was a little surprised, "Mr. Xin, why did you come here so early?"

Mr. Xin's face was gloomy: "The prince has an accident."

Hearing this, all the joy on Xi Yutong's face faded away, leaving only a pale face.
