In the back garden, the sun is shining brightly. The roses planted by my mother are all over the flower racks. The blooming flowers are delicate and fragrant, and the petals and young leaves stretch out in the scorching sun.
I sat under the shade of the flowers with my hands in my hands, Ah Sha looked at me with his eyes open. I patiently held the needle, threaded the red thread, and sewed its mouth.
"...Ah? u Mi chiseled yyl Jun closed fine Gai Jina? 簟?br> I looked up, she had a gentle face, gently shaking a fan in her hand.
"The silk sewer," I said.
Mother looked at it and asked, "Why does this silk figure look like this? Where's the hair?"
"It was born before it grows." I blinked, "Mother, what is it? Mother laughed and touched my head gently .
The touch is like the wind, nothingness, but I can feel its existence. In a blink of an eye, my mother disappeared, the roses turned into dead branches, and the back garden in front of me also turned into a ruined wall in the heavy snow. I anxiously looked for my mother everywhere, but I saw only one figure standing there in the desolate world. I was taken aback, and wanted to call him, but the name stuck in my throat; I ran towards him, but the road under my feet seemed to never end, and I was still inaccessible.

My body was very heavy, I moved a little and was held down by someone.
"Don't move." A familiar voice said.
Startled, I narrowed my eyes and looked at him. Pei Qian was sitting beside the couch, Qingjun's face was a little pale, and his eyelids were blue.
Messy memories resurfaced in my mind, Pei Qian, Wei Jiao, A Yuan, Gong Yanggui, etc., and my stomach... Startled, I pulled the quilt away and touched my stomach.
"The fetus is fine, Wei Bianque said you need to rest." Pei Qian pressed my hand and repeated, "Don't move."
These words were like a breath of fresh air in my suffocation, and my heart dropped immediately.
"Really..." I couldn't help being overjoyed, and looked at him, those eyes were fixed on me, calm and dark.
Pei Qian's lips twitched slightly, as if he wanted to smile back at me, but he didn't succeed. I looked at him, put away the smile on my face, and lay back on the pillow peacefully.
His anxious and roaring appearance was still clear in the firelight. He kept comforting me and ran towards somewhere with me in his arms. I also remember tugging on his sleeve like I was clutching at straws. But now, everything is calm, and we suddenly returned to the situation where we met last time. It seems that we have a lot to say, but we don't know where to start.
"Drinking water?" Pei Qian spoke first and got up from the couch.
I nodded: "Yeah."
He went to pour water on the desk, and the light shone on his side face, with thin lines. When the water came, I wanted to take it for myself to drink, but Pei Qian pushed my hand away: "Don't move after you say it." After speaking, he brought a spoon, scooped up a spoon, and brought it to my mouth.
I was a little embarrassed, so I had to let him feed and swallow it mouthful.
"How long did I sleep?" I asked after drinking.
"From last night to now, two or three hours are enough for a day." Pei Qian said.
I looked at him for a moment and said, "Have you been here all this time?"
Pei Qian didn't answer, put down the water bowl, and sat down beside the couch again.
"I slept for two hours. A Yuan and Langzhong have been guarding here, and I just let them go to rest." He said, "I supervised the battle in Qiling yesterday, and when I learned that you were here, I rushed here immediately .” After that, he looked at me, “Is there anything else you want to ask?”
I can never hide my thoughts from him. I was silent for a while, and said, "What's wrong with him?"
Pei Qian looked at me, with a wry smile on his lips: "He's gone, but he's still alive. Is that enough?"
He is safe.
The tight string in my mind finally loosened, I closed my eyes, and said softly: "That's it." After a while, I said, "Thank you."
There seemed to be a wind blowing outside, and the windows rattled softly.
There was a moment of silence between Pei Qian and me, the two looked at each other, his eyes were as still as a pool.
There are some subtle sighs in my heart. Wei Tan and the baby in his womb, the only person in the world who makes me feel uncomfortable mentioning them is probably Pei Qian.
So does he. But I don't know if it's because we are too familiar with each other or because we are too good at covering up, the tacit calmness seems to be talking about things that have nothing to do with me or him.
"Don't you ask Wu Kun how to deal with you?" After a while, Pei Qian said.
This is indeed a problem. I spent most of the days locked in that room thinking about it. But now, knowing that Wei Tan escaped alive, I calmed down instead. If Wei Tan is alive, I still have value, and Wu Kun will not be so stupid as to kill me immediately.
I put my hands on my lower abdomen, the corners of my lips curled up, and I didn't answer.
At this time, some voices came from outside. Not long after, the door was suddenly pushed open.
A woman walked in wearing a silk dress, with a veiled cap on her head, full of dust.
Seeing us, she stopped walking, Pei Qian and I were also startled.
"My lady." Pei Qian recovered quickly, got up immediately, and saluted her.
Wu Jiao didn't answer, her face was slightly flushed, but her eyes were sharp. She looked at Pei Qian, for a moment, then moved to me.
"Madam Fu is injured, so I cannot salute." Pei Qian said.
"You..." Wu Jiao was a little annoyed, and then stopped, and sneered for a moment, "The governor answered for her? The battle is still fierce ahead, but the general abandoned his battle and came to Wancheng."
Pei Qian's expression did not change: "I never abandoned the battle. I came to Wancheng to transfer food and grass. This is the master's order."
Wu Jiao stared at him, and after a while, she turned her anger on me.
"What about her?" Wu Jiao said in a bad tone, "She is a member of Wei Tan's family, the general is in the same room with her alone, so he is not afraid of being laughed at!"
Pei Qian was unhurried: "Madam Fu is an old friend of Pei. Last night Tian Xiao led troops to break in here and hurt Madam, so I should help." After finishing speaking, he changed the subject, "My lord general Fu Madame detained here, but did not report to the lord, the lady has to prepare some excuses when she sees the lord."
Wu Jiao was speechless for a moment.
She glanced at me and restrained her momentum a bit: "I didn't know Tian Xiao would be so reckless... I didn't mean it."
"My lord has ordered someone to stay in Wancheng, and the Wei family members are also guarded by someone. What happened last night will never happen again."
Wu Jiao looked at him with complicated eyes: "I..."
"Wancheng is an important place for military aircraft, my lady, please come back." Pei Qian bowed to her.
Wu Jiao was annoyed again, but there was nothing he could do. For a moment, she bit her lip, stamped her feet, and walked away.
The door leaf was thrown back forcefully, hitting the threshold, and with a "bang", it bounced back again.
Looking at Wu Jiao's angry back, I had many doubts in my heart.
"She is the lord's sister, and she has always had this temper." Pei Qian turned around and explained to me.
I didn't answer and looked at him.
"What's in my belly," I whispered, "do they know?"
Pei Qian sat down again: "The people in the courtyard are all my people, and Wei Bianque and others are also tight-lipped."
This means that he has kept it a secret from me. My mind settled down for a while, and then a glimmer of hope was ignited, I opened my mouth, "You..."
"I can't let you go." Pei Qian looked at me, "My lord knows that you are here, and Liang Wen also knows."
I heard the sound of foam breaking.
Pei Qian smiled faintly, his eyes softened a bit.
"You rest here, I'll send food later." He said, "I still have something to do in the front hall."
I nodded, looked at him, and said for a while, "Thank you."
Pei Qian was startled, smiling helplessly.
"In the past few years, you never said thank you once." He said in a low voice, "but you thanked him twice in this hour."
I was also taken aback, looking into those eyes, pretending to be relaxed: "This is not what it used to be."
"Really? Where is it now?"
I am ashamed.
Pei Qian's eyes were deep: "Aren't you going to ask about my affairs with Wu Nujun?"
I was surprised, but his face was very serious.
In fact, I really wanted to ask this question when Wu Jiao came in just now, but it is Pei Qian's private matter after all, so why should I ask it? But since he brought it up...
"How are you and Miss Wu?" I asked.
"I don't want to talk anymore." Pei Qian smiled, got up and walked away.
My body has not yet recovered. According to Wei Jiao's recuperation method, the only meals I have are porridge and broth stewed to the bone. There is a smell of medicine in the mouth of the food, but I think it is better than any delicacies from mountains and seas, so I eat it meticulously.
A Yuan's eyes were still blue, but he spoke excitedly, telling everything from last night to today in detail.
After Pei Qian arrived, he drove away the man named Tian Xiao, and the house was replaced by his people. Except for Wei Jiao and Uncle Huang, the rest of us are old friends with Pei Qian. So the yard is still the same yard, but there is no need to be locked in the room like a prisoner.
"Master Gongyang and Mr. Ji Yuan talked for a long time in the next room about Madam not waking up," said A Yuan.
I nod. Gong Yanggui came out this time to find Pei Qian, but now it's just right for him.
"Where's fourth uncle?" I asked.
"The fourth son is also well. He has visited Madam a few times." A Yuan replied.
My body didn't bleed or hurt any more, but Wei Jiao didn't allow me to stay in the bed and walk around, and I was treated with medicinal diet every day.
When I asked him about the fetus, he slapped his chest, and his thick eyebrows arched proudly: "Madam, you can rest assured, I have inherited Bian Que's mantle, not to mention protecting the fetus, even going to the underworld to rob people is not unheard of!" , he grinned, "If Madam and Eldest Prince had met a few months earlier, he would have been able to give you the secret book of intercourse, and keep it in one fell swoop..."
Day by day passed, Wu Jiao never came again, and no one else broke in.
I don't know how capable Pei Qian is, or what Wu Kun and Liang Ren think of me as a prisoner. Locked up in such an isolated place, thinking too much is not necessarily a good thing.
Besides A Yuan and Wei Jiao, Wei An also often came to see me. His tools have not been returned yet, but with Pei Qian, he got a few books, all of which are about building methods; Gong Yangguo is an outsider to me after all, he only visited the house two or three times, but Every morning in the yard, there is the sound of him practicing sword with a wooden stick.
Pei Qian is very busy, he comes to see me every day, and soon someone will come and call him away. I asked him about the situation of the battle, and he didn't hide anything. He told me where Liang Jun and Wu Jun pursued and where they were capturing the city. Finally, he will tell me that there is no news about Wei Tan.
It doesn't sound good, but it's better than any bad news. Thinking of this, my heart will go back to where it was, telling myself that things are not the worst yet.
When the fifth finger was broken in the day, Wei Jiao said that I could go for a walk in the yard.
The sun has just come out, and it has just rained at night, so the yard is very cool. A Yuan put a small couch under the porch, I walked for a while, and sat on it to rest. Wei An sat on the stone steps and read his book, while Gong Yanggui concentrated on practicing his sword.
At this moment, the courtyard door opened, and several sergeants came in. Behind them, I saw Pei Qian, and when my eyes fell on the person beside him, I froze for a moment.
It was an elegant young man wearing a bamboo crown, sitting on a cart. I had seen Cui Wei in Mr. Yunshi's dorm.
