My heart hopped, and the person almost bounced off the bed: "What? Fighting?"

Yunxiang was originally looking at me as weak and was also depressed. At this time, she suddenly became stern and was startled, and she was shocked and said stammeringly: "You, you are--"

"They started fighting?"

"No, no fight," she saw that my mind was completely on this, and hurriedly replied: "No fight, I heard from several people in the village that the situation was very tense at the time and almost all of them were about to fight, but later several more ships came over from Jinling. I don't know what the people who came and went, but in the end they still didn't fight."

"ah……"

When I heard that the fight had not started, I immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, the person fell to the head of the bed with a little softness, and then he felt that he had sweated all over his body because of his anxiety, and the clothes on his back were almost soaked.

It’s not a fight…it’s good!

What I worry most is that peace between Yangzhou and Jinling will no longer occur. If it really starts, the war will definitely not be stopped on the river. If their war spreads, then the world will not be peaceful anymore!

But fortunately, it was a bad fight!

I lay there in a state of confusion. Yunxiang was shocked when she saw that I was stern and nervous just now, and now she looked cold and sweaty, and asked, "Qingying, what's wrong with you? Is it okay?"

"I'm fine, I'm fine."

"It's fine."

When she heard me say this, she felt a little relieved and asked again: "How do you feel now? Are there any uncomfortable places?"

I subconsciously touched my sweaty forehead and felt that the cold sweat on my body almost wiped my close-fitting clothes. I felt very uncomfortable, so I said, "No, I just want to take a shower."

"This is easy to deal with, I'll make arrangements for you right away."

After saying that, she immediately jumped up and ran out. After a while, she prepared a hot water towel. I took a shower in depth. However, because my body was still a little weak, I didn't soak in the water for a long time. When I came out of the bathroom, I felt a sensation of cold wind outside.

After all, autumn is already coming.

I sat in front of the dressing table, and Yunxiang helped me wipe my long wet hair. I saw her thin and small face reflected in the bronze mirror, full of hesitation. It was almost obvious that she had a lot to ask me, but after thinking about it, she couldn't speak.

And just then, a very light knock on the door sounded outside.

A low and gentle voice said, "Can I come in?"

When Yunxiang heard this, she hurriedly got up and walked to the door. She just touched the door and looked back at me again. I tidied up my clothes a little, then nodded to her, and then she opened the door.

The graceful Xiao Yusheng stood at the door. When he saw her, he nodded gently and said, "Madam."

Yunxiang whispered: "Young Master Xiao is here, then I'll go back first."

After saying that, she turned around and told me a few more words, and asked me to have a good rest, then turned around and left. Xiao Yusheng walked in and bowed respectfully to me: "Miss."

I sat in front of the dressing table and said with a smile: "Thank you last night."

"Miss, don't say that, the student can't afford it."

"Don't say that I can't afford it. If it weren't for you last night, I'm just afraid now-"

I hesitated for a moment and couldn't speak.

If it weren't for them last night, of course I wouldn't be able to escape and would definitely be captured by Pei Yuanxiu's people, but what if he got it back? How would he treat me?

I know that he will not hurt me, nor will he blame me, nor will he even lick my nails easily, but he will use other methods, even the people around me, to make me afraid, scare me, and never dare to step beyond the line.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but tremble.

Seeing my pale face, Xiao Yusheng hurriedly said, "Does the young lady have any discomfort? The student immediately asked the doctor to come and see him."

"No need, I'm fine."

I reached out to hold the edge of the table and stood up slowly. The soft feeling I had just taken a shower made me feel a little dizzy, but after standing for a while, the feeling was much better.

Xiao Yusheng kept looking at me carefully, for fear that if I made a mistake, he would come over to protect me immediately.

Feeling that my hands and feet had a little strength, I said, "It's so boring in the room. I want to go out for a walk."

Xiao Yusheng glanced at me and said, "Miss's face is still bad. I know that the lady must have not had a good rest these days, so she suddenly fell asleep last night. If she went out and walked away, I'm afraid the lady's physical strength would not be able to support her."

"I--"

"Stand at the door for a while."

“Okay.”

I walked out slowly.

This place is the house of a large family before Jixiang Village. Compared with the ordinary earthen houses, tile houses, and even thatched houses around, this house is luxurious. The gray tiles and white walls look very clean and suppressed. The surrounding walls are more than one person tall, which tightly protects the small courtyard. The two-story building where we are located is the deepest part of the garden. There are several low houses in front, and there is even a small pavilion.

I stood on the second floor and looked around and saw almost the entire Jixiang Village.

It was still a familiar village, and the air was filled with the familiar smell of fish. The low bungalows looked like simple bonsai. It seemed that it was approaching dusk. There was a curling blue smoke coming out of the chimneys on many roofs, and a burst of food was also heard.

A cool breeze blew over, which also made my somewhat chaotic thoughts clear. I held the guardrail in both hands, and turned around and saw Xiao Yusheng standing behind me, looking at the yard in front of me with my hands on my back, but my expression seemed a little solemn.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! I thought about it and asked: "This time you guys--"

He heard my voice, hurriedly raised his head, and said with a smile: "Madam Yunxiang has already told the eldest lady that we were following their convoy to Yangzhou City and then we arrived here."

"Where are Yuanfeng and the others?"

"Mr. Pei is in a hurry to go back to Xichuan to explain some things, so he left first."

"oh……"

I nodded. In fact, it would be a good thing that he left first. If he and Liu Qinghan and Xiao Yusheng returned to Xichuan together, then he would have to be responsible for Liu Qinghan's whereabouts. In this way, Liu Qinghan may fall into the Yan family, or Yan Qingchen's control. But now that he leaves, the actual identities of the remaining Xiao Yusheng and others are students of Xishan Academy, Liu Qinghan's junior brother. Standing between the Yan family and his senior brother, he will definitely not have any bad bias.

In this way...

My heart moved slightly.

He had left the court, and there was no more suppression of the king's or emperor's orders on his head, and when he went to Xichuan, he would not be too suppressed by the Yan family; there was even a huge, unimaginable family business waiting for him to inherit.

His life has come to this day, and it cannot be said that it is not a turn of things, and the willows are bright.

A gust of wind blew over my ears, blowing my hair that was still messy in my ears gently across my cheeks, bringing a faint slight itchy feeling.

I looked up at Xiao Yusheng and whispered: "Where is him?"

"Senior Brother Liu? He is much better."

“…”

"His illness has improved a lot."

“…”

"I was just suffering from cold and had some fever. Mrs. Yunxiang found a very good doctor in the town to grab him two doses of medicine. It would be much better after taking it."

“…”

"However, although he was seriously ill, he kept in mind Jinling and the eldest lady's affairs. He asked us to inquire about the situation in Jinling. Later, when he heard that the Jiangxia Palace was going to hold a wedding, he asked us to go to Jinling to pick up the eldest lady."

"……Yeah?"

"We've actually been there several times, but the guards there are too tight."

“…”

"And, besides us, there are other people who sneak into Jinling Mansion, but - they were all killed with bad luck."

“…”

"But I found that the second lady of the Han family had arranged some people secretly. I guessed that this should be the work of the eldest lady, so I kept guarding the small door with Wuyin for those days, and finally waited for the eldest lady last night."

I don’t know if it was because of the air-cooling outside, but I felt a cold soaking feeling spread from my skin to my heart.

After autumn began, it was so dark that it was obviously getting early. After we came out and said a while, we could clearly feel the light around us dimmed.

This yard slowly fell into a dark place.

Then, I saw a small house in the darkness, with a faint candlelight flashing in the window, and the orange-red light shone out of the window paper, which actually had a hint of warmth.

Seeing me looking at the room, Xiao Yusheng immediately said, "Senior Brother Liu lives there."

"……Yeah?"

"In the past few days, except for explaining some things to us, he has hardly left that room."

"oh?"

"He was in a bad mood, and we didn't bother him."

"oh."

"Last night, we brought the eldest lady back, and he didn't come here either."

“…”

"But I know, he didn't sleep all night last night."

"oh……"

"Miss, if—"

“It will get better.”

This time, before he could finish his words, I had already spoken gently and interrupted him. Xiao Yusheng looked down at me, and I also looked down at the candlelight flashing in the window. After a while, I was silent, and slowly said: "No matter what happened, it was already a thing of the past. Everything will pass."

Hearing me say this, I seem to understand it. I remained silent for a long time and nodded gently: "Students understand."

“…”

"However, the student has one more thing, and he wants to ask the lady."

"What?"

"Miss, where will you go?"

“…!”
