After drinking the bitter medicine, I drank half a bowl of honey water.
Youlan asked if she wanted to eat, and Weiyang shook her head. She was full from drinking the medicine, so how could she have the appetite to eat
Yan Gui was worried that she would feel unwell if she lay down for too long, so he carried her to the soft couch in the outer room and looked at the scenery in the yard through the window.
"Little girl, are you angry that I didn't tell you in detail that day and let Xiaoli take you out of the city?" Yan Gui asked, resting his chin on Weiyang's head.
Wei Yang hummed softly.
Yan Gui couldn't help but stretched out his hand and pinched her pink earlobe: "Do you feel that I deliberately used you to lure the enemy?"
"No."
"That's more like it. I was afraid that you would be frightened in the mansion, so I originally asked Ding Wu to protect you in the mansion. Who knew that you, a little girl, were so smart that you actually asked Ding Wu to inform me. After thinking about it, I can only ask Xiao Li to call you out. It can also be regarded as luring the enemy. I'm not using you to lure the enemy, but to make people think that we are defenseless."
Yan Gui rarely explains, but he doesn't want Wei Yang to have any misunderstanding about him.
"Are you done?" Wei Yang pursed her lips and looked up at him: "Am I such a petty person?"
"No, I'm just telling you." Yan Gui quickly denied, "I'm just afraid you'll be angry."
Wei Yang stretched out her hands to hold Yan Gui's neck and said softly, "I like you and naturally believe you. I'm just afraid, little uncle, I'm afraid that the Yan Mansion will be the same as the Su Mansion. What should I do then? What should I do without you?"
Tears slid down Weiyang's cheeks
Yan Gui's heart softened. It turned out that she was not upset because of misunderstanding or grievance, but because of fear. This silly child actually frightened herself to death.
Yan Gui's hand gently stroked her hair, again and again.
"Where's Xu'er?" Wei Yang felt strange. She had been sick for several days, but she didn't see Zhao Xu coming.
Yan Gui hesitated for a moment and said, "He has something to do, so he needs to accompany Eunuch Li."
Yan Gui frowned slightly when he mentioned Zhao Xu. He was considering whether he should contact Queen Su and send Zhao Xu to that position as soon as possible.
He was really worried about Wei Yang staying in Yanzhou because it was too cold there.
Of course, he didn't want Weiyang to return to the capital. There were too many familiar memories there for her, and he was afraid that she would be reminded of the past and become depressed.
It would be best for the two of them to go to another place with a pleasant climate and no war and live in seclusion.
Wei Yang had no idea what was going on in Yan Gui's mind and just stared out the window in a daze.
"Girl, can I take you back to Beijing?"
"Hmm." Wei Yang hummed softly, her mind still in a daze after the illness and she hadn't reacted yet.
"But we have to make it clear first. When we get to the capital, you are not allowed to cry or get sick again, otherwise I..." Yan Gui couldn't continue speaking. A pair of cold little hands covered his lips.
"Yan Gui, as long as you take me back to Beijing, I will obey you in everything."
"Then you should take good care of yourself these days. I will wait for you to get better and then make some preparations. We will set off when you are completely well." Yan Gui grabbed her hand, looked down at her and said knowingly.
"Really?" Wei Yang was surprised and happy, and found it hard to believe.
She tightly grasped Yan Gui's arm and choked up, "I want to go back so much. My parents are dead, and I can't even burn a piece of paper for them. Who will help collect their bones, who will arrange their graves, who will erect a tombstone for them during the Qingming Festival? I, I..."
As Wei Yang spoke, tears rolled down her cheeks.
