Si Que saw a beautiful smile.
You Yuji finally spoke.
"He has bad conduct, mood swings, and is easily angered." She slowly repeated Si Que's evaluation of him. She paused, "It's nothing, but it would be better if it didn't affect innocent people."
Her eyes were gentle, and she asked him in a soft voice, "Are you okay?"
Si Que looked away, raised his head and rested it comfortably on the pillow again, his tone became more leisurely -
"Try your best," he said.
After that, he looked at You Yuji again. When he met her bright eyes, his heart softened. He raised his hand and pinched her cheek.
If he had put on a smiling face and acted good in front of her in order to have fun, he knew clearly that now in front of her, he could not help but raise the corners of his lips.
The smiling mask he had worn before, not only had not been thrown away, but had become engraved in his heart. Whenever he saw her, he would feel happy.
Si Que didn't know why he was obsessed with this woman, who was becoming less and less like himself. He also didn't know why he liked You Yuji. He had asked himself this question many times, but he still hadn't found the answer.
Si Que looked at You Yuji who was so close to him and frowned slightly. What was so good about this woman? She was just a little more knowledgeable and a little prettier. And... she had a better personality. When she was gentle, she was like honey, and when she was strong, she was like wine. She had the tolerance to tolerate others, an open mind, and a resolute determination...
There aren't many advantages, just a little more than him.
"I'm hungry." You Yuzhi said.
Si Que's thoughts were immediately pulled back, and he sat up and said, "I just steamed some honey cakes for my sister in the oven, they should be ready to eat."
By the beginning of March, the effects of the poison in You Yuzhi's body had completely disappeared.
Winter was over, and the days were getting longer. The sun was setting, and the sunset glow was warm. You Yuji sat by the window, concentrating on reading a book in her hand.
Tingyun sat aside, shaking the glass bottle in her hand from time to time. The crisp sound of the two poisonous insects biting each other made her feel very comfortable.
"Tingyun, what does this mean?" You Yuzhi pointed at a sentence in the book and asked Tingyun.
Tingyun said, "Oh," and said, "The art of poison also has secret codes. It's not surprising that Madam can't understand it."
She explained the recipe to You Yuji in detail using simple words.
You Yuji tilted her head slightly in thought, the tassel pendants on her tilted hair swaying gently.
Tingyun found it very strange and didn't understand why You Yuji was suddenly interested in poison techniques, so he asked her to bring some basic books on poison techniques to read. Tingyun felt that You Yuji was not suitable for studying such evil things.
Tingyun secretly felt that You Yuji was just in a momentary mood and would not be able to persist.
Hearing the footsteps coming up the stairs outside, Tingyun immediately said, "Your Highness, come up. It's a good opportunity for you to teach Madam. Your Highness will surely explain it more clearly than Tingyun!"
Si Que pushed the door open and came in. After hearing what Ting Yun said, he glanced at You Yuji and asked, "What are you talking about?"
Tingyun had already stood up and stepped aside.
You Yuji unfolded the cover of the book and waved it towards Si Que, saying softly, "Take a look at it."
"Why do you suddenly want to learn these things?" Si Que walked to You Yuji and put his hand on You Yuji's shoulder naturally.
Tingyun quietly retreated and closed the door.
"It never hurts to learn more. You don't have to go into too much detail, but it's good if you can understand the basics," said You Yuji.
"You can't learn these." Si Que said firmly.
You Yuji frowned and looked at him. Because of her personality, she didn't like to hear words like "you can't do it" or "you can't do it".
"It's not enough to just read books about theory, you need to practice. And practice..." Si Que paused, took off the trembling hairpin from You Yuji's hair, and played with it with interest, "Sister, are you not afraid of spiders anymore?"
You Yuji was slightly startled, and those furry little monsters with many legs appeared in front of her eyes.
Si Que smiled. He leaned over and put the hairpin back on You Yuji's hair. He said, "No need to learn. I won't do it again."
The tasseled hairpin fell back on You Yuji's hair, and Si Que gently moved the tassels hanging below with his hand.
You Yuji was in a trance when she heard Si Que's words. The poison of Ruan Wusan had completely faded away, and she was healthy again, which made her happy from the bottom of her heart. This month, she felt weak and powerless every day and just wanted to lean, lie down, and sleep. She even needed help from others to put on her underwear and tie the belt. It was really terrible.
"Sister is completely well?"
You Yuji raised her eyes and looked at Si Que, and saw a dark color in his eyes.
Si Que leaned over, rested his forehead on You Yuji's brow, and said, "Sister is healed, we can continue to catch our stars together."
During this month, You Yuji, who was even more delicate and weak, was like the most tempting delicacy in heaven and on earth. Si Que stayed by her side day and night, feeding her, helping her draw her eyebrows and put on makeup, and even helping her change clothes and bathe.
The tempting delicacies were right beside him, making him feel distracted. But You Yuji was not feeling well and had no interest. Since she had no interest, even though she did not refuse, Si Que felt that it was meaningless to ask for it unilaterally. For more than a month, he was like a white-bone demon that was delivered to his mouth but could not be eaten.
After hearing Si Que's words, You Yuji's smile slowly faded. She turned her head and looked out the open window. The setting sun had already hidden behind the mountains in the distance, leaving only a little afterglow in this world. The sky in the east was gradually turning dark, slowly spreading towards the west.
The still white sky is dotted with only a few stars occasionally, which need to be carefully identified to be seen clearly.
You Yuji pointed to the stars on the sky and said, "There are two. Which one should we catch?"
Si Que looked in the direction You Yuji pointed, and he casually said "I want both", and picked the person up.
You Yuji's gaze was still outside the window.
Si Que held her in his arms and took two steps towards the bed. Seeing her gloomy expression, he stopped and looked down at her. He rarely asked in a serious tone, "If you didn't want a child, would you be unwilling?"
You Yuji retracted her gaze from the window and looked at Si Que's dark eyes right in front of her. She slowly raised the corners of her lips and smiled again, and gently pinched Si Que's earlobe with the hand on his shoulder.
Si Que's face changed slightly, and he subconsciously moved to the side to dodge. He stopped halfway, enduring the numb feeling and letting her play with him.
"Perhaps the fate of having children cannot be forced. The stars in the sky also know that I am seeking a child with a purpose, and they don't want to be born in my belly." You Yuji said gently, "If there is no child, then there is no child. Look for another prescription for mother's illness. There are many doctors in the world, and there must be other treatment methods besides Doctor Hu's prescription."
When You Yuji was not in Jinnan Palace, it became much more difficult for Cuiyu to leave the palace. She bit the bullet and asked the princess for a leave. The princess did not see her, she only saw the maid beside the princess. Fortunately, the princess approved her leave, and she did not care about anything else.
She hurried back to her residence, changed her clothes hastily and came out of the room. When she passed the back garden, she saw Hongzan and Si Han.
During this period, the princess announced to the public that You Yuji had returned to her parents' home to take care of her mother, and the concubines in the mansion no longer needed to go to Tanxiang Yingyue every day, so their lives suddenly became free. Somehow, Hongzan and Sihan gradually became familiar with each other, and occasionally made appointments to do something together. For example, today, the two of them took needlework and chatted in the back garden while enjoying the warm spring breeze.
Seeing Cuiyu, Hongzan asked curiously, "Are you going out of the house again?"
"I'm going out for a while." Cuiyu replied with a smile on her face, and turned around and left without even pausing. But after turning around, she rolled her eyes and muttered silently in her heart - "The last time I left the house was 24 days ago, and again and again... You're the one!"
Hongzan and Sihan watched Cuiyu walk away. Sihan said, "Didn't they say she has no parents and no relatives? Why does she always go out of the mansion?"
"Who knows." Hong Zan shook her head. "It's better now. Some time ago, when Madam was still in the mansion, she went out more frequently."
Si Han frowned and asked, "Could she be meeting her lover in secret?"
Hongzan was startled, and the needle in her hand pricked her finger, and a drop of blood immediately oozed out. She quickly wiped the drop of blood with a handkerchief and whispered: "Don't say that, how can you talk nonsense about such things."
Si Han fell silent and did not respond, but she was still thinking this in her heart. Cui Yu was from a brothel anyway.
Si Han glanced at Hongzan who was sitting next to him again, and a look of contempt flashed across his eyes.
Si Han felt that Chen Anzhi was really unsophisticated in choosing women. It seemed that he had quite a few concubines, but what kind of people were they? Cuiyu and the one who died were both from brothels. Hongzan and Chunxing were better, at least they were clean, but they were also slaves.
There is also a palace maid from a fallen country, dressed as a man...
Si Han thought of Si Que, and her expression became strange. She raised her head and looked in the direction of Tan Xiang Ying Yue, and a doubt arose in her heart - did the lady really go back to her parents' home to take care of her mother
Hasn't this been too long
Most importantly, she hadn't seen Si Que for a long time. Liu Feng claimed that Si Que was ill and was recuperating in bed.
What a coincidence, both of them disappeared at the same time
"What are you thinking about? Why are you so lost in thought?" Hongzan asked.
Si Han was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said it was nothing, and continued to do needlework with Hongzan.
Now that she was in the Jinnan Palace, she had to make friends with some concubines. Although she looked down on all of these concubines, she would choose slaves over prostitutes. Si Han originally wanted to make friends with Chun Xing, after all, Chun Xing had been in the Jinnan Palace for a longer time.
But Chun Xing is a dull person. She sits by the window in a daze all day long without saying a word. She is totally unsociable.
Lin Yingying shook her hands and brushed off the soot on her sleeves. The sleeves were made of soft satin and had a fine texture. This was Jiang Yunche's clothes. Lin Yingying was petite, so in order to wear his men's clothes, she secretly cut the clothes in advance to make them fit better.
Lin Yingying raised her head and looked at the fire in the distance.
The small courtyard where she had lived for several months was being burned by the raging fire. After the fire was put out, she found a female corpse, which she had dug out from a new grave a few nights ago while crying.
She no longer wanted to think about whether Jiang Yunche would find out that the body was not hers.
She turned and left, her steps steady at first, passing the crowd who were calling for help in putting out the fire, crossing the busy streets, and as soon as there was no one around, she immediately broke into a quick run.
I could hear her messy footsteps and the increasingly intense heartbeat in my chest.
Faster! Faster!
Lin Yingying said this to herself over and over again.
“Yingying!”
There was a carriage parked at a remote street corner. Cui Yu wandered anxiously for a long time and finally saw Lin Yingying.
When she saw Cuiyu, Lin Yingying almost couldn't hold back her tears and tried hard to put on a smile.
"Hurry up, we've arranged accommodation for you!" Cui Yu got on the carriage first and extended her hand to Lin Yingying.
Lin Yingying handed her hand to Cuiyu.
Something fell from Lin Yingying's sleeve, but she was so flustered and afraid that Jiang Yunche would catch up with her that she didn't notice it at all.
"Yingying, your hairpin fell off." Cuiyu loved shiny and valuable things the most, and she saw it at a glance.
Lin Yingying turned around and looked at the hairpin that fell into the dirty mud.
The image of Jiang Yunche looking at me with a smile when he was slightly tipsy suddenly appeared in front of me.
