My heart suddenly jumped, and I saw her still confused and looked straight at me with my eyes, but the next moment, my eyes were completely turbid, and she said, "You want to--"

I took the opportunity to open the door that was only half closed, and I looked like I had just opened the door from inside.

"Are you asleep?"

"ah……"

She sat blankly and looked at me, probably a little confused. I said, "No wonder, no one answered me when I called you inside."

She hurriedly said, "What's the matter?"

"I felt that it was cold outside and I didn't want to come out to see it, but I was worried about Cangzhou City. I didn't know how they were fighting in the war, so I wanted to ask you, but I didn't expect it," I looked at her with a smile: "So you're asleep."

Her face was flushed with shame.

I smiled and said, "I must have been very tired these days."

While saying that, I raised my foot and stepped out. Hua Zhu looked down and hurriedly said, "Miss Yan, you are not wearing shoes, be careful of catching a cold!"

I also looked down and said, "The room is warm. I just got off the couch and didn't even notice it."

She immediately got up and wanted to help me get my shoes, but she had probably just slept against the wall for too long and twisted her neck. As soon as she stood up, I smiled and said, "Look at you being tired and weaker than me, just sit down."

She pinched her neck embarrassedly, I smiled, then returned to the room, quickly changed into a pair of socks hidden under the quilt in advance, put on her shoes, and slowly walked out.

When she walked out, she was still frowning and rubbing her neck, probably because she was upset that she was sleeping when she was guarding me. When she saw me coming out, she looked at her with a smile. She felt a little embarrassed and said, "Miss Yan, don't blame me. I don't know why. I was a little sleepy just now, just--"

"You don't have to explain to me. In fact, you've been waiting outside these days without sleep, and the iron-killing people can't stand it. It's because your master is too careless and doesn't care about you at all. I must tell him that no matter what, you should rest or rest, after all, you are a little girl."

"No, it's not that Master doesn't care about me, Master is very nice to me!"

As she said that, she opened her eyes wide and looked at me: "Miss Yan, don't tell the master..."

Looking at her eagerly protecting Xie Feng, I smiled faintly and said, "Okay, then I won't tell him about this matter, I'll keep it a secret for you."

She hurriedly said, "Thank you Miss Yan."

I smiled, then walked to the corridor and looked out with the fence.

In the dark night, there is actually nothing to see, but the night wind is mixed with many sounds, including the sound of horse hooves, the noise of people whispering, and the sense of crisis that the storm is about to come and the wind fills the building.

Hua Zhu stood with me in the corridor for a while, but after all, she was still worried about my body and said softly: "Miss Yan, it's cold outside, you'd better go in and rest. If there is any news, I will come in and tell you."

"……Um."

I nodded and was about to turn around and go back to the house, but a noise from the downstairs that was different from the quiet atmosphere just now came.

Moreover, there are lights close.

Hua Zhu subconsciously said "Huh" and turned around to look. I stopped. Sure enough, I saw someone slowly approaching us, and the lights slowly walked through the garden. I could see that it was a group of people who had been walking into the garden. When they walked downstairs, the person walking in front seemed to notice my gaze and raised his head.

Pei Yuanxiu...

I met his gaze unexpectedly, and he looked at me, even on such a cold and cold winter night, his gaze showed some inappropriate warmth.

Why did he come?

I was still a little stunned for a moment, and he had already taken a few people upstairs. I heard the sound of footsteps getting closer and closer. When I turned my head, he had already walked over from the other side of the corridor.

As I got close to me, I was still speechless.

He said: "Why is it so late and still not sleeping?"

I was silent for a moment, and without answering him, I asked, "Why are you here?"

“…”

He didn't answer me, but looked at my cheeks that were slightly red from the wind, reached out and grabbed my wrist, and said, "The hands are cold, why can't you take care of yourself so much?"

“…”

“Come in quickly.”

As he said that, he used some strength to pull me into the room without saying a word.

The room was the same as before. The blanket on the couch was half hanging on the couch, and it was hanging on the ground, showing a bit of laziness. On the small table next to it was placed, half of the medicine juice was left. In the faint smoke rising from the incense burner, there was only the fragrance of plum blossoms.

He led me over and sat down, and said, "I'm not here these days, how are you in good health?"

I still didn't answer him, and asked, "Why are you here?"

It seems that I will never give up until I ask about the result. He paused for a moment and said, "It will be very noisy tonight, and it may be - it will be uneasy. I will come back to accompany you."

Will it be very noisy...?

Not peaceful...?

Since we have decided to attack the city tonight and to capture the defenders in Cangzhou City, of course we will not be quiet. Now that Cangzhou City has begun to die, it is in a desperate situation. If we attack the city at this time, it will be difficult to ensure that they will not be in a hurry to jump over the wall, so we will simply fight.

So, he comes back with me?

I lowered my eyes lightly.

He looked at me for a while, but didn't say anything. He turned his eyes to the bowl of half of the medicine juice and said, "Why, why don't you drink the medicine well? There are half left here."

I glanced at it and said, "This is not a medicine to safeguard the fetus."

"Hmm? What's wrong with you? Where else is there to feel uncomfortable?"

"I heard that you were going to attack the city tonight, and I knew it would be very noisy, so I asked the doctor to prescribe another dose of sleep-concentrating medicine for me, but it was so uncomfortable to drink two bowls of medicine a day, so I didn't drink this half bowl."

When he heard this, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "You are also afraid of hardship."

“…”

I pursed my lips and didn't say anything.

When he just came in, the door was pulled up from outside by Hua Zhu, and the room was naturally very warm. He got up and took off the thick fox fur on his body, and then put it on my legs. A warm feeling immediately came, causing the cold that I had brought back to stay outside in socks for a long time melted a lot.

However, he wouldn't know.

After all, the two of them were facing each other like this, and I knew he wouldn't tell me too much, and I was afraid that too much would lead to mistakes, so I sat quietly. But the silence in the house did not mean the silence outside. Soon, I heard footsteps outside. Someone must have been sent out.

The night became uneasy all the time.

My breathing was also a little tense, and I looked at the door from time to time, because I knew that he would not be here tonight so simple. Sure enough, someone went up to the small building soon, and the footsteps of walking on the corridor were rapid and heavy. He walked to the door and said, "Young Master."

Pei Yuanxiu said: "How?"

"Our people are all over."

"Where are Song Huaiyi and the others?"

"It's already under the city."

"Oh, where is the Cui family?"

"Awaiting for the young master's order."

"oh."

I thought he would order an attack immediately, but he didn't say that. Instead, he picked up the half bowl of medicine, got up and walked to the door. I watched him in surprise and pushed open the door, handed the bowl out, and ordered: "Let the people below heat up the half bowl of medicine and then bring it. Also, give me some sugar-pickled plums that I've had."

The people outside were also stunned for a moment, but they immediately took it: "Yes."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

He turned around and saw me looking at him in surprise, and said with a smile: "It will be very noisy tonight. I know you must be unable to sleep well, but this medicine is still good for you. Don't just drink half of it and throw half of it. You'll drink it."

“…”

My heart gradually beating a little faster. I thought he would order an attack immediately. Perhaps everyone outside was waiting for his order, but he didn't. But if I asked, I would look impatient, so I couldn't speak easily.

But he himself looked at my frowning brow and said softly: "Are you still worried about what's happening outside?"

I bit my lower lip and said, "Tonight, will you break through Cangzhou City?"

He looked into my eyes: "What do you hope?"

"..." I was silent for a moment and said frankly: "I don't want you to win."

“…”

In fact, it was not an unexpected answer for him, but I still heard his breathing stagnate for a moment. After a long silence, he slowly said, "But I have to win."

This time, both of them fell silent.

After a while, another sound of footsteps came from outside. It was not as rapid and heavy as before, but it seemed slow and orderly, as if every step was about to come steadily.

This step made me subconsciously frown.

Pei Yuanxiu seemed to feel something. When he raised his head, he saw the door being pushed open. A slim figure walked in from outside, holding a bowl of steaming medicine and a plate of pickled plums in his hand.

Pei Yuanxiu said: "Ruoshi? Why are you here?"

A gentle smile appeared on the face that was slightly red by the cold wind. Han Ruoshi slowly walked up to us and said softly: "I have been staying in the Cui family these days. I don't know how Miss Yan is in good health. I happened to come to see it tonight, but they said that my husband is also here."

“…”

"I didn't disturb you."

“…”

There is no disturbance, of course.

Instead, I felt that she was doing well.

Pei Yuanxiu frowned and said, "Why don't you go to rest?"

She said with a smile: "If it's just a siege, there's no need to be a wife, but my husband has to do such an important thing tonight. How can I sleep with my husband?"

I looked up at her.
