The mood was very bad, and I couldn't calm down to read a book, so I simply went to the little bamboo forest.
Fortunately, the person who made him feel at ease was always by his side, thinking of Xia Qingan's mood improved a lot.
Xia Qing'an stopped and turned to look at An Jiu who was holding the piano behind him, her brows were gentle.
"Master?" An Jiu stopped and quickly glanced at the master with a puzzled tone.
"It's okay, let's go!"
Xia Qing'an smiled, turned around and continued walking.
An Jiu's head was slightly lowered, his eyes were hard to see clearly, his mouth was pursed into a straight line, but he still walked slowly to keep up.
Owner…
The atmosphere in the palace became more and more depressed, and the servants who served the master did not dare to breathe, for fear that the master would get angry and be punished.
Xia Qing'an also heard some news from Qiu Shui, but didn't pay attention to it, since it was none of her business anyway.
However, he didn't know that the less he cared, the more this matter would have something to do with him.
It wasn't until Xia Qingan entered the palace that he still hadn't reacted. In the morning, he was taken to the place of the prince, who was also Yuanshen's father, and then the prince told him a lot of things he didn't understand, and finally the prince rushed to him inexplicably. He lost his temper. (He was frightened into a cold sweat!)
Then he was taken down to wash and change clothes, and then he was stuffed into the sedan chair to the palace in a daze, and he hasn't recovered yet.
"Master Xia, you will live in this courtyard for the time being."
"En." Xia Qing'an nodded expressionlessly, and followed them in.
Compared with the layout of the imperial palace, this place is not too big, but it is much larger than Qingzhuyuan, and the environment is also very good, with many flowers and trees planted in the courtyard.
These flowers don't quite match the aura of the imperial palace, they belong to the elegant type, but are similar to Xia Qing'an.
And there were only a few maids in the yard, they didn't get close to Xia Qing'an very much, and they didn't talk much.
Judging from the layout and arrangement, the person who invited him must have a clear understanding of his living habits.
Finally able to rest, Xia Qing'an returned to her dormitory, her tense expression relaxed. Staying alone in an unfamiliar environment would cause unconscious tension, not to mention his sensitive mind.
"An Jiu." Xia Qing'an said softly, wanting to ask An Jiu to come out to accompany her, since he would not be so afraid when An Jiu was around.
"..."
No one answered, and he didn't see that person's figure. Xia Qing'an's pupils shrank, her face gradually turned pale, and her hands on her knees were slowly clenched, but she still couldn't restrain her trembling body.
that person is not there
he didn't follow
he is not by his side
…
Xia Qing'an's mind kept circulating, she stretched out her hands to hug her knees tightly, buried her face in her knees, her body kept trembling.
The reason why he was able to act calm just now was that he thought that An Jiu was with him in the dark, so he was not so afraid, but now he found that An Jiu was not there, he did not come with him, so Xia Qingan I got sick again.
"Anjiu... I'm afraid..." Why aren't you here... Xia Qing'an buried her head in her knees, her voice was soft and trembling, mixed with bewilderment and fear.
Xia Qing'an just stayed there for a long time without moving, breathing very lightly, as if falling asleep.
"Young master, it's time to eat."
A maid's voice sounded outside the door, but Xia Qing'an remained motionless, as if she hadn't heard it. The people outside the door called a few times, but there was no response from inside the door, and soon there was no sound.
After a long time, Xia Qing'an slowly raised her head, her face was expressionless, and there was no emotion in her eyes.
"It seems... It's time to eat."
Xia Qing'an said, as if talking to herself, she got up and left the room after speaking.
If An Jiu sees it, he will find that the current appearance of the master is the same as that of the new master just now, repelling the outside world.
Everything seemed to be back to the way it was at the beginning, the only difference was that Xia Qing'an didn't have his An Jiu by his side.
There is also a small study here, except for eating and sleeping, Xia Qing'an will stay in the small study at other times, and Xia Qing'an has never read the books in the small study.
Xia Qing'an has been reading all the time, as if she has adapted well to the new environment.
"An Jiu, help..."
Xia Qing'an stopped, his eyes froze for a moment, and he forgot again that An Jiu was not by his side.
Xia Qing'an ate when she should eat, and slept when she should sleep, but her face still turned pale day by day, her eyes turned blue, and her spirit became more and more listless.
East Palace
"What is Xia Qing'an's situation now?" Prince Xia Hongxuan asked.
"Master, Mr. Xia's face is pale now, and he seems to be a little listless." The father-in-law stood aside, bowed his head and said respectfully.
"Oh? Didn't I ask you to choose some people to take good care of?"
"Master, Mr. Xia eats and sleeps on time, but each meal is very small, and he wakes up several times every night."
Xia Hongxuan smiled and didn't say anything. After letting him go down, he called out the shadow guard.
"Yingyi, tell me."
"Returning to Master, Mr. Xia always calls the name of the dark guard 'An Jiu' in every dream." Ying Yi knelt on one knee, bowing his head respectfully.
"Huh? Dark guard?" Xia Hongxuan was puzzled.
"The dark guards trained by the Royal Dark Guard Battalion will be assigned to each palace."
In the courtyard
Xia Qing'an carried the guqin and walked under the giant tree, the grass was lush and green. Xia Qing'an sat on the ground, tuned the strings and started playing.
The sound of the piano is leisurely, scattered to the distance with the wind, the sound of the piano is no longer as brisk as before, and I am at a loss, I don't know where I am or where I am going.
Gain and loss, melancholy and sorrow, fear and despair, business fades away.
Xia Qing'an's piano skills are a gift from God. God closed a door for him, so he opened a window for him.
Those who listen to him play the piano, when they hear the sound of the piano, the scene in the sound of the piano will be imagined in their minds.
Xia Qing'an played the piano expressionlessly, without a trace of emotion in her eyes, but the piano she played was blank and sad, and there was despair and death in the depths.
When Xia Qing'an first came to ancient times, his autism was at the critical point of moderate to severe. When he was uneasy, An Jiu appeared.
To Xia Qing'an, this man was very strange, it brought him an inexplicable sense of security, staying by An Jiu's side, he could gradually bear the approach of people around him.
After more than a year of getting along, Xia Qing'an became more and more dependent on An Jiu, and gradually revealed her true nature in front of him. It can be said that An Jiu was his medicine and his life.
Now, An Jiu is no longer by his side, Xia Qingan's medicine has been lost, and there is no cure for him...
An Jiu... don't you want me... don't you... your master
If Xia Qing'an is a fish, then Anjiu is water, a fish that leaves water cannot live...
At this moment, Xia Qing'an has 'evolved' and has become a severe autistic patient with no business.
"Owner."
His fingers were hurt by the strings, he didn't respond, he continued to play, the strings broke, he didn't respond, he continued to play, and he didn't respond when he heard the familiar voice.
This is a dream, an auditory hallucination, if he does not respond, he will not wake up from the dream, and he can continue to listen to the voice.
"… Owner."
An Jiu looked at the master in front of him, feeling that he was about to suffocate, his heart ached so much that his eyes were sore, only half a month, the master became like this.
An Jiu stepped forward, knelt down beside his master on one knee, and held his master's blood-stained hand.
"Master, An Jiu is late..."
Xia Qing'an was in a daze, and it took a long time before she turned her head to look at An Jiu, her eyes were a little cautious.
"It's not a dream..."
Xia Qing'an murmured, her eyes were not red, but tears rolled down without warning.
"Master... people..." An Jiu's voice was hoarse, but at this moment, the eye sockets of the murderous An Wei were extremely red.
Xia Qing'an hugged An Jiu's waist, buried her head in his arms, and hugged him tighter and tighter, for fear that this man would disappear.
"An Jiu... don't leave me in the future." Because I will be desperate to death, don't... leave me again.
"Yes, master." Even if they stop you, the subordinates will try their best to get back to you. Master, I'm sorry, the subordinate is late, and I won't do it in the future.
An Jiu is back, Xia Qing'an's changes are noticed by others.
night
"Anjiu, sleep." Xia Qing'an lay on the bed after taking a shower, and patted the place beside her.
"Master, this..."
"Anjiu, I can't fall asleep if you're not here, I dream of you every night, and then I wake up and you're not here..." Then I stayed up until dawn with my eyes open.
An Jiu's heart trembled, the pain from the heart slowly spread to all parts of the body, the pain was tingling with numbness.
After An Jiu lay down on the bed, Xia Qing'an hugged his waist next to him, smelling the familiar smell, Xia Qing'an felt relieved.
Rubbing her head against Anjiu's neck, she found a comfortable place to close her eyes, because she hadn't slept soundly for a long time, so Xia Qingan settled down and quickly fell asleep.
It felt that An Jiu dared to move only after the master fell asleep. One hand of An Jiu was pillowed by the master, and the other hand was stretched out to carefully touch the master's eyes. His eyes were full of pity and deep love. Master, can subordinates expect to...
"Anjiu... don't go..." Xia Qing'an murmured with her eyes closed, her voice was full of despair, tears welled from the corners of her eyes, and fell into her black hair.
"Master, this subordinate will not leave."
An Jiu hugged his master tightly, and gently patted his back with his other hand unskillfully to comfort him.
As if she felt that someone she knew was by her side, Xia Qing'an gradually calmed down, and continued to sleep without being startled.
An Jiu closed his eyes, did not stop his comforting movements, and patted his master regularly, making his master sleep more soundly.
Until now, An Jiu's heart was relieved, and he finally returned to his master's side.
that person is not there
exterminate, escape
Xia Qing'an's consciousness was in a daze, and she hadn't woken up yet, so she subconsciously moved her hand to the side, but didn't touch anything. After a few seconds, she regained her consciousness, opened her eyes suddenly, and saw the emptiness around her, her pupils shrank suddenly.
"Dark Nine?" Xia Qing'an said softly, her tone was a little cautious and uncertain, and her voice was a little trembling
