"Why haven't you changed your clothes yet? When did you come back?"

I also looked down at myself and said lightly: "I've been back a long time ago, I've just been walking outside for a while."

He was stunned and looked back at me, as if he was about to ask a question, but I asked first, "By the way, when I came back just now, I heard Miss Han and the others were doing what they were doing?"

He was silent for a moment and said, "Today is her birthday."

“…”

"Their birthday."

"Is that so? Why didn't you tell me?"

"Seeing that you are in a bad mood recently, if you tell you, it will be even more uncomfortable if you go there. Isn't it?"

I looked back at his gentle eyes and nodded gently.

He smiled and came over to sit down with my hand. I had been back to the room for a while, but my fingertips still felt a little cold. He immediately felt it, so he took the teapot on the table and poured me a cup of tea and handed it to me, holding my hands and holding the teapot.

I looked up at him. Although I couldn't smile on my face, my eyes were still full of gentleness.

He said, "By the way, how about you going to Yangzhou today?"

“…”

As soon as he said this, my fingers holding the teacup subconsciously convulsed. I raised my head to look at him, but saw that he also looked at me, and said with a burning look: "What did Yuan Hao say?"

I thought about it and lowered my head: "Liu Qinghan confessed himself and the emperor sentenced him to death."

"and you--"

"I also beg for love, but it's useless. I'll be executed the day after tomorrow."

After hearing this, Pei Yuanxiu didn't speak for a while. After a while, he reached over and gently covered the back of my hand, and said softly: "It's over, don't be too sad."

My eyes were slightly red: "Liu Qinghan is a good person, he shouldn't have this result."

"But someone should pay for his life to kill someone, and Yuanzhen's death should be borne by someone."

“…”

Seeing my eyes turn red and I just lowered my head and didn't say anything, he was silent for a while, held my hand tighter, and said softly: "I know you are sad, let's do this. Then I will accompany you to Yangzhou and send him the last journey."

I was stunned and looked up at him: "You go with me... to see him off?"

"Well." He raised a hand and gently stroked my cheek: "But you promised me to cheer up. No matter what you have experienced before, after this matter - you can only end."

“…”

The candle on the table seemed to be shaking and swaying at this moment. I couldn't speak for a while, and I just looked at him through the candlelight. The eyes that looked at him seemed to be dyed with the temperature of the orange candlelight, so gentle that even the palms that were ironed on my cheeks were warm.

"Promise me, after this, I completely forgot about him."

“…”

I looked at him for a long time, and finally nodded gently: "Yes."

He smiled, then grabbed my hand: "Come on, let's have a rest."

I was led by him and stood up. As soon as I walked to the bed, I said again: "By the way, Yuan Xiu, I have something to tell you."

"Hmm? What's the matter?"

"About Miaoyan's disease."

"Miaoyan's disease?" He sat on the edge of the bed, looked up at me, and I sat down beside him, and said, "I went to ask the emperor that the "Shenfei Ji" had been destroyed by Jixian Dicts, and I think the opportunities that can be found among the people are very small; Yao Lao also said another method before, which is to let people who are proficient in the Book of Changes summon the souls of the Mysterious Words and Deeds."

Pei Yuanxiu frowned slightly, and immediately noticed something sensitively: "Is there such a person in the capital?"

"Um."

"Who?"

"I'm an old Taoist priest."

"Old Taoist priest?" He frowned and thought for a while, murmured: "I heard back then that there was a Taoist priest around my father. It is said that he has a profound practice and can summon wind and rain. Is it just--"

I said, "It's him."

Pei Yuanxiu said: "Yuan Hao wants Miaoyan to enter the palace?"

I nodded.

He didn't speak immediately, but pondered for a long time, then looked up at me: "What do you think?"

"I don't know, I want to ask for your opinion."

"I……"

He thought for a while and said, "I have to think about this matter, after all, it's not a trivial matter."

I nodded.

He smiled and patted my shoulder: "Go to rest early."

When I woke up the next day, the room was bright. I looked at the curtains above my head and the golden threads shining brightly by the sun. After a while, I could hear the uniform and long breathing sounds coming from my ears.

When he turned around, Pei Yuanxiu was lying on his side facing me, still sleeping.

I was a little surprised that he usually got up earlier than me. Often, he was already dressed neatly when I was still sleeping soundly. It was probably a habit left by life in the past. He almost didn't stay in bed very much, but today it seemed that it was getting late, but he was still asleep, and his quiet and peaceful sleeping look was particularly comfortable.

I turned my head and looked at him, feeling his breath gently blowing across my neck.

I don’t know how long I was watching this quietly, but his eyelashes trembled slightly. After a while, his eyes opened a thread, and a blurry and lazy light came out. When I looked at me, I seemed not very awake. After a long time of chaos, I came over and kissed my lips.

I blinked, but still looked at him quietly.

After he dropped the kiss, he seemed to have become more awake and his eyes became clearer. He went back to look at me: "Qingying."

"You're awake."

"Yeah." He said, looking at me again: "You woke up so early?"

"Um."

"Or it's not sleeping?"

As he said that, he reached out and rubbed the corners of my red eyes. I said lightly: "It's not that I didn't sleep, it's just that I didn't sleep well."

He said, "Are you still worried about that?"

"..." I lowered my eyelids and didn't say anything, and he came over again and gently kissed my eyes. When I looked up at him, my eyes became a little confused because of his kiss. He said softly: "Things have become settled, so don't think about it anymore. It will always pass."

I didn't say anything, just lowered my head again, and nodded.

He then sat up and put on the clothes hanging on the hanger by the bed. When he was dressed neatly, I slowly sat up from the bed, but I didn't know if it was because I had been lying for too long or hadn't had a good sleep, so I felt dizzy and almost fell off the bed.

When he turned around, he saw my ugly face and hurriedly sat down and held my shoulder: "What's wrong?"

I looked at his anxious and concerned eyes and shook my head gently: "It's okay, maybe I'm going to be fierce and I'm a little dizzy."

"I haven't had a good sleep." He rubbed my shoulder holes: "I'll go to do business later, you can rest for a while."

"Um."

Then I got up and put it on, Xiao Ni and Xixi came to serve us to wash. After breakfast, a bowl of soup was placed in front of me.

When I saw the somewhat turbid soup, I immediately frowned: "This is-"

Pei Yuanxiu said: "When I heard you speak last night, my nasal sound was a little heavy. I saw that you didn't sleep well that night, and my face looked even worse. I asked Yao Lao to boil a medicine for you, and you should drink it obediently, so don't destroy your body."

After hearing what he said, I couldn't say anything else. I could only pinch my nose and obediently pour the bowl of bitter potion.

Seeing me finish drinking, he smiled with relief. I was about to turn around and ask Su Su and the others if there was any sweet thing to sip me when Pei Yuanxiu suddenly said, "By the way, about Miaoyan--"

I looked back at him.

He said, "I thought about it. If the Taoist priest's soul-summoning method was really Miaoyan's only chance, then she should try it."

“…”

"She is still young after all, and she still has such a long life, so she shouldn't have just lived it like this."

“…”

My heart thumped: "Is that right?"

"Of course, you still have to decide on this matter. After all, you are Miaoyan's biological mother."

"Yeah." I nodded gently.

"However," he suddenly changed his mind and said, "Even if you ask Miaoyan to follow the emperor back to Beijing, you can't go."

“…”

I looked up at him.

He also looked into my eyes, his eyes were calm and he said seriously: "I can send someone to accompany her, or I can think of other ways, but you can't go."

"I--"
