[Seven Five] Sword Que Merry

Not long after nightfall, there was a girl in Mu's house standing on tiptoe to light the lamp, and a faint scent of medicine wafted from the small courtyard to the west.

After tossing and tossing in the hospital bed for almost ten days, Mu Qing finally woke up gradually, and Mrs. Lin was holding a medicine bowl to feed her carefully.

"Drink slowly."

"Mother, this medicine is so bitter." She frowned, "I want to eat candied fruit."

"Okay, okay, the candied fruit has already been brought, and I'll give it to you after you drink it." Lin took out a handkerchief and wiped the concoction on the corner of her mouth for her.

After drinking half of the soup, Mu Qing took a bite of the candied fruit, raised her eyes and looked around.

"What about little words?"

"Who knows her?" Upon hearing this person's name, Lin's brows lowered immediately, and she said coldly, "I'm a busy person right now, so I don't have time to care about your life, I'm afraid she secretly hopes that you won't wake up. "

As she spoke, she took a handkerchief and carefully wiped off the sweat on her forehead, "Fortunately, my Qing'er is lucky."

Mu Qing swallowed the candied fruit, looked around suddenly, and said in a mysterious tone, "Mother, I have something to tell you."

Seeing her strange expression, Lin couldn't help but wonder: "What's the matter?"

Mu Qing leaned close to her ear and spoke in a low voice.

After hearing this, her complexion got worse and worse.

"what?!"

Lin's eyes were full of surprise: "Are you serious?"

Mu Qing nodded sharply: "It's absolutely true, I heard it with my own ears, there can be no falsehood!"

Lin looked at the medicine bowl in a daze, and then nodded for a while, "Don't worry, I put the red note in her room these days, and when you recover after a while, ask her to come over and ask about it." .”

"Well, we have to be careful, in case she will bewitch..."

Lin raised her hand to signal her to keep quiet, and Mu Qing quickly stopped talking.

"If it's true as you said..." She put down the bowl, with a smile on her lips, "We can't keep demons and ghosts in the Mu residence."

Three days later, it was supposed to be the day when Qiao'er was executed.

The sky was gloomy and dark clouds were covering the city. There were many spectators standing in front of the Meridian Gate. The supervisor was sitting behind him, knocking on the desk from time to time, impatiently waiting.

Nian Yi and Zhan Zhao also looked around in the crowd, their expressions were completely different from those around them, showing a hint of worry.

At this moment, the prison car creaked and slowly drove towards this side. The person in the car was a young woman with a frail body, messy hair, and dirty prison clothes.But her expression didn't match this attire, she rested her head on her hands and looked away boredly.

"Ah, what a pity that such a young girl should be beheaded. What kind of crime did she commit?" Someone beside her pointed.

"It is said to have killed someone."

"And killed two more."

"Tsk tsk..." The man shook his head, "I really can't tell."

Nianyi frowned and pursed his lips lightly.Zhan Zhao looked at her sideways, reached out his hand from under his sleeve, held her hand, and interlocked his fingers.

After getting out of the car, the two police officers pushed the criminals to the execution ground. The execution officer looked up at the sky, looked at the master next to him and nodded, then took out a stick from the holder, and threw it on the ground with a "snap". land.

"The hour has come, execution!"

The executioner got the order, took the big knife from his shoulder, took a sip of the wine next to him, sprayed all the amount on the blade, and the sun shone, and the cold light flickered.

Yin Qiaoer heard the sound of spraying water behind her, and turned her head in disgust, staring at the blade covered with his saliva, as if hesitating to speak.

"Turn around!" The executioner pinned her head.

"Is your knife fast?" Although he is very strong, Yin Qiaoer is still worried, "You won't be able to cut down the neck with the skin still attached?"

"Don't worry." The executioner pouted twice on his palm, "We have been in this business for ten years, and we have never missed a shot. I guarantee you will be killed on the spot."

"Come on, it won't take half a moment for the head to fall before it's dead."

"Stop talking nonsense."

Fearing that the time would be lost, the executioner stopped her and immediately pushed her hair away, holding the handle of the knife in both hands, and cut it down on her neck with precision...

Blood splattered everywhere, and the onlookers couldn't help shaking.

The head rolled to the corner of the execution ground, and the headless corpse kneeling on the ground soon fell straight to the ground.

Nian Yi whispered to Zhan Zhao: "Hurry up and take back the corpse, the paper figurine will appear in half an hour."

"it is good."

Usually the close relatives of the condemned prisoner would come to collect the corpse, but Cui's mobility is limited, so it is reasonable for Kaifeng Mansion to do it for him. Zhan Zhao had a few words with the prison officer, and the latter didn't make any trouble, and readily agreed with him to take the corpse Take it.

After the people around him cleared up, Nian Yi went to the corner, knelt down to look at Shi Yin, who was sitting leaning against the wall, frowning and touching the back of his neck.

"How about it?"

"How? What else? It's just another death." He sighed, "The feeling of moving your head is really uncomfortable."

Hearing what he said, Nian Yi reached out and rubbed his neck, and said with an apologetic smile, "Thank you for your hard work."

Letting her fingertips gently massage the skin, Shiyin closed her eyes and curled the corners of her lips in enjoyment.

"It's good to know that I've worked hard, but don't make any more troubles. You have the most troubles all day long."

As long as she is still here, it doesn't matter if she causes him any trouble or any difficult things.

Even if he wants to become a human being, it doesn't matter if he wants to be with Zhan Zhao.

As long as I can still see her...

"Got it." Nian Yi smiled slightly.Now Qiao'er has "died" in front of everyone, even if she reappears in the future, she will just be regarded as someone with a similar appearance, not to mention, after a long time, no one will remember this matter anymore.

On the outskirts of Kaifeng City, beside the stone pavilion on the official road, a carriage was parked by the tree, and the maroon horse was chewing the grass on the ground with its head lowered.

"You take these things with you." Nian handed her the packed package in his hand, "Find a place where no one knows you, and live a good life with your mother."

"Miss..." Qiao'er cried so much that her face was full of tears, she even forgot to stretch out her hand for a while, trying to stuff something into her arms.

"Miss, you are so kind to me... How can I repay you." She was holding the burden in a daze, and only shed tears, "I...I kowtow to you!"

As she said, she hurriedly gave the burden to her mother, and knelt down to Nianyi neatly.

"Thank you ma'am!"

Then he faced Zhan Zhao again.

"Thank you Master Zhan!"

Even thinking about Zhan Zhao felt embarrassed, so he quickly leaned over to help her.

"Don't be like this, get up quickly."

Qiaoer's eyes were covered with tears, she didn't know how to thank the two of them.

"I... I don't even know, I can still live, my head is still my head... Miss, Mr. Zhan... Am I, am I dreaming?"

"It's true, this is not a dream." Nian Yi gently wiped her tears, "Okay, don't cry, it's rare to be reborn, you have to be happy."

"Yeah!" Qiao'er tried her best to hold back her tears, and nodded heavily, "Yeah! I will live happily, and I won't let you down!"

"It's getting late." There are not many horses and pedestrians entering and leaving the city at the moment, and it will be bad if someone finds out after a while.Zhan Zhao looked around and reminded, "Go on the road first, and send a letter back after you settle down."

"Okay!" Qiao'er wiped away her tears with her sleeve indiscriminately, and said with a smile, "I will definitely, Miss and Lord Zhan will get married in the future, don't forget to come and see Qiao'er."

Nian Yi stretched out his hand and pinched the tip of her nose, smiling: "Nonsense again, quickly help your mother into the car."

Just as Qiao'er was about to open the curtain to go in, she suddenly got out of the car again, pulling her with eyes full of reluctance.

"I'm leaving, Miss, you must be careful of Madam and Missy."

"Don't worry, I'll be fine."

Seeing Zhan Zhao by her side, Qiaoer pondered for a while, and felt that she was worrying too much, after all, Miss is no longer alone.

There are many people around her, enough for her to live her life safely.

After seeing off Qiao'er, Nian Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief. On the way home, she quietly turned her head to look at Zhan Zhao, and she could clearly see a circle of black and blue under his eyes, which must have been the cause of her troubles recently.

"Brother Zhan..."

"Ok?"

"It's nothing." She bowed her head and smiled, "Thank you for helping me."

"I'm ashamed, I didn't do anything." Zhan Zhao smiled helplessly, "It was Shiyin who helped you."

"I should thank both of you." Nian Yi shook hands with him, and walked slowly on the street, "I have known for a long time that Qiao'er can't commute the sentence for two lives. I made it difficult for you at first, but now that I think about it I'm wrong."

Zhan Zhao asked her softly: "Don't you blame me? Actually... If I had intentionally let her go, it wouldn't have been impossible."

Nian Yi laughed when he heard the words: "Then you will?"

He shook his head and smiled without answering.

"You have been in Kaifeng Mansion for so many years, you have been dedicated to your duties, and you have such a good reputation. It's too late for me to be happy for you." She kicked the stones beside her feet as she spoke, "How could I blame you?"

After waking up four years later, she accidentally heard that he had entered the palace in Jiangnan. She was both surprised and as if she had expected it.

——"You are a human being, you must think for the living and avenge the dead..."

She still remembers what she said at that time...

Feeling sour and moved in his heart, Nian Yi unconsciously tightened his fingers slightly. To his surprise, Zhan Zhao's hand also tightened with her, holding it very hard, as if he was afraid that it would disappear suddenly...

"cough."

The two were in a trance, but when they saw Mu Xian who had just returned from outside, Zhan Zhao was stunned for a moment, then quickly withdrew his hands, cupped his fists and saluted:

"Master Mu."

Mu Xian stared at him coldly, then looked at Nian Yi with a frown, and gave a lukewarm "hmm".

"Father."

"Ci'er, you are a girl, how can you hang out on the street with Mr. Zhan? Mr. Zhan is usually busy with work, do you know that this will disturb the Kaifeng mansion to handle the case!"

Although Mingming reprimanded Nian Yi for obstructing official duties, both of them could hear that Mu Xian's words were clearly addressed to Zhan Zhao.

"Yes." Nian Yi bowed his head and admitted his mistake, "My daughter knows her mistake."

He shouted in a low voice: "Hurry up and go back to your room!"

"Yes."

It was really helpless to rely on others, she bowed her body, looked deeply at Zhan Zhao reluctantly, and then left.

"Today is Second Young Miss's personal servant girl's execution." Zhan Zhao explained to Mu Xian, "Miss and Yin Qiaoer have a deep relationship with master and servant, so they went to see him off. It was Zhan Zhao who was abrupt and failed to ask the adults for instructions."

"Master Zhan is being polite when he says that." Mu Xian smiled, but his words were full of dissatisfaction, "But after all, the little girl has not yet left the cabinet. This lonely man and widow are walking side by side. If outsiders see it, they will be gossips."

"Master Mu is right, Zhan was rude."

In the same place, Mu Xian exchanged pleasantries with him again, seeing that it was getting late, he left and returned home.

The door was gently closed by Mu's servants, Zhan Zhao shook his head and sighed, thinking: It seems that he has to propose marriage as soon as possible...
