This was said perfectly and beautifully. Even Yao Lao, who was originally a little angry, didn't know what to say. He thought about it, looked at me again, and I calmly repeated: "What she said is true."
“…”
"You, hurry up and take a look."
After all, life is at stake. Yao Lao could no longer delay it. He picked up his medicine box and walked out. The maid also hurriedly turned around and followed him. When she passed by me, a cold, almost contemptuous smile appeared on her face. She glanced at me and left.
I stood there and watched their hurriedly disappearing backs without saying a word.
When they turned their heads, they saw Susu's face turned pale with anger, and Xiao Ni and Xixi, who had been blocking them, seemed particularly embarrassed. After all, seeing their master being ridiculed like this, their faces couldn't be moved.
However, at this time, I no longer had the energy to care about their inner fluctuations, so I just waved my hand lightly: "You all go down."
Su Su pouted a little, but she quickly took Xiao Ni and Xixi down.
Cao Hu and the others stood at the door and watched the scene without saying a word. Seeing that Su Su and the others had retreated, they were about to retreat. I suddenly called him: "Cao Hu."
When he heard this, he hurriedly stopped, came to his senses and clasped his fists at me: "Madam, what are you asking?"
I walked over and whispered a few words in his ear.
After I gave me a simple "instruction", he didn't ask anything more. He just instructed the other people to protect the inner courtyard well, and then turned around and left. I walked in alone. When I pushed open the door, Miaoyan sat on the couch beside the bed. I had just finished applying the needle and couldn't see the wind. I hurriedly closed the door and walked over. She was still as dull as before, with her eyes vaguely.
I sat next to her and reached out to touch her pink cheeks gently.
Do you really have to spend this young and flowery life like this? What should I do to get my daughter back to normal and to have a normal life and life?
"Miscellaneous words."
“…”
"Miaoyan, my mother is here."
“…”
“你看得到娘吗?妙言……”
My gentle words were like the wind, blowing through her body without leaving anything. Seeing her quiet, delicate but dull like a jade doll, I couldn't help but reach out to hug her thin body and bury her cheeks into her neck.
Miaoyan, Miaoyan, when will you wake up, when will you recover? What should I do?
It seemed that she felt a wet chill, which slowly soaked between her neck. She subconsciously shrank slightly.
At this time, the door was gently knocked.
I slowly sat up straight, turned around and saw a familiar figure appearing at the door.
...

It's late.
Su Su had already taken Miaoyan to her room to sleep. After Xiao Ni and Xixi served me to wash up, they also retreated. It seemed that I was the only one left in the inner courtyard, and the cool breeze passing through the bamboo leaves made the empty windows constantly hit the edges, snatching the sound of the windows.
I leaned against the head of the bed and looked at the candlestick beside the bed. The candlelight was swaying and undulating by the wind. The light in the whole room was clearly extinguished, as if a ghost was floating by.
At this moment, a sound of footsteps came.
The footsteps are very familiar. Since I moved into this inner courtyard, I have heard it ringing countless times at night and slowly approaching. On weekdays, the footsteps are very light, as if they are afraid of waking me in the room. But tonight, for some reason, the footsteps seem particularly heavy, and each step seems to weigh a thousand pounds. When I walked to the door, I even paused.
My breathing was also suffocated.
Then the door was pushed open.
A cool breeze blew in.
I raised my head and saw Pei Yuanxiu standing at the door. His pale face was reflected by the candlelight swaying in the house, and it seemed as if the moment I saw me, countless emotions flashed across his face and eyes. His face was full of fatigue, which even caused his shoulders, which seemed particularly broad and solid, to collapse slightly. Seeing me leaning against the head of the bed, he calmed down for a moment, and then walked in.
“I haven’t fallen asleep yet.”
"Um."
"Why aren't you sleeping?"
"Awaiting for you."
"What should I do?"
"..." I was silent for a moment, not answering the question, but changed the subject and asked him, "How is she?"
When "her", Pei Yuanxiu's face turned paler.
Seeing his face like this, I probably knew it. He said, "The arrow did not hit the vital point, but it was bleeding a lot. In addition, her body was weak and she has not woken up until now."
"What did you say about Yao Lao?"
This time, he didn't say anything, just sighed.
It seems that although it has not hit the nail on the head, the situation is still very dangerous and should not be careless.
I thought about it and said, "Don't worry, I see Miss Ruoshi's fortune and life are great, so I will definitely not be willing to fall down here. She will definitely get better."
He glanced at me.
I looked at him, too.
His eyes were scrutinized, and of course I knew very well that when I said that, there was not much real comfort and kindness in it, so the two of them were silent for a moment. Although it was only a short time, the atmosphere was dull as if the two of them were strangled by a black hand at the same time, and even their breathing became a little cramped.
This originally spacious room suddenly became narrow, as if all the walls were pressing against someone. When he spoke again, his voice was a bit hoarse: "Are you not sleeping?"
I shook my head: "I have some questions, I want to ask you."
He walked to the bed, looked down at my pale face, and looked tired, and was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "It just so happens that I have some questions to ask you."
I looked up and smiled at him.
He also smiled.
Although both of them had something to say and had questions, after laughing, he and I fell silent again.
And under the faint candlelight that seemed to be extinguished at any time, the alert in the eyes of both of them was so obvious that they appeared without any concealment.
I suddenly felt that this late summer night seemed to be a bit cold in winter coming early.
He spoke first and asked, "Did you arrange for Xiao Yusheng to go to the execution ground?"
I nodded: "Yes."
"Why?"
"Because I know that someone must die of Liu Qinghan!"
His pupils suddenly contracted.
"So, I'm going to save him."
"So, you asked Xiao Yusheng to go to the execution ground?"
"But even though I knew, I didn't expect that those people wanted to let him die, not only sent him to the guillotine, but they were unwilling to give up. Maybe they also guessed that someone would not want to let him die, so they even prepared a backup plan."
“…”
"If the four heroes of Tongshan had not appeared with those old men, even Xiao Yusheng would probably have been left there."
"Four Heroes of Tongshan..." He slowly repeated these four words, and his voice seemed to have the coolness of the night wind, and said, "It was the four old men who brought those people."
“…”
"So, you arranged them too?"
“…”
I looked up at him and didn't say anything.
Although I know their origins, I can't arrange their actions. After all, when I met in Yangzhou Prefecture, they didn't even say a word to me. Later, when they were in the execution ground, I guess they understood that it was Pei Yuanhao's work. After all, the attitude of the four heroes of Tongshan to cooperate with the court was still very obvious, so they did not arrange to rob the execution ground by themselves. Instead, they first asked the emperor and then did nothing to do, and they could not escape the emperor's intentions.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
My methods were not enough compared to them. I thought of going to the execution ground, but I didn't expect that someone would stop him halfway, and in that way, even tied up Xiao Yusheng's hands and feet. If the four heroes of Tongshan brought those old people to make a fuss, I don't know how the matter would develop today, and how it would end.
It seems that their former "brothers" are the people who know each other best and are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the
However, it doesn’t make much sense to explain it at this time.
After all, I even sent Xiao Yusheng out. Even if I said that the Four Heroes of Tongshan were not my arrangement, not many people believed it.
Looking at my silent appearance, Pei Yuanxiu's pupils became dark.
He suddenly spoke, his voice a little deeper than before: "You still can't forget him, right?"
“…”
"You arranged what happened today, you arranged Xiao Yusheng and the Four Masters of Tongshan, but you didn't tell me a word before, you completely hid me."
“…”
"For him, you have to hide your husband, right?"
I looked at him for a while and said lightly: "I thought I had already made it clear."
“…”
"No matter whether I forget it or not, he is Liu Qinghan, he is a good person; no matter where my relationship with him has reached, he has saved me twice. Without him, nor is he who I am today. I can't see my life-saving benefactor being killed injustice and ignore it, so I asked Xiao Yusheng to save him, it's that simple."
He slowly sat down to the edge of the bed and looked straight into my eyes.
"You have been saying that he is innocent and he is wronged. Do you believe him so much?"
"I believe him."
"What if you believe it wrong?"
“…!”
I felt like my chest was stabbed by a needle, and my heartbeat became cramped. Looking at the dark eyes that were close to me, I said with difficulty: "I do believe in the wrong person, and I am also sure that I am the wrong person, but that person is not him."
