The author has something to say:

A few days later, at breakfast time, Fei Fu hurried over to me and said: Master is going home today.

"Has it been determined yet?"

"Yes, and more, Madam and Master came back together. But according to what people said, Master, he is not in good health." Fei Fu had a bitter face.

The victorious and triumphant Dudu, who should have been warmly welcomed by the people burning incense and covering the road, finally died down because of his illness.Zhou Yu was seriously ill this time. Judging by the appearance of coughing out of his heart and lungs, it really couldn't be the simple cause of "suffering from wind and cold" in his mouth.

I'm afraid that Yuan's killing karma will be too heavy this time.As far as he is concerned, every time he faces a war, he has never had the mentality of "one will succeed and all will die".In the battle of Chibi, hundreds of thousands of innocent souls were buried in Dajiang, and his heart disease may not be exempted anyway.

At nightfall, when my aunt couldn't stand the sleepiness and fell asleep on the outer bed, I quietly sneaked into Zhou Yu's bedroom, put the fist-sized smoker on the window sill, and waited for his breathing to become long and heavy.

Recalling his habit of storing things, and then looking around the bedroom for a week, I fixed my eyes on the small wooden box with copper corners on the Duobaoge at the end of the bed.The wooden box was locked, and I pulled out the hairpin, tried several times with the tip but couldn't open it, and a thin layer of sweat broke out on my forehead.

"What are you looking for?"

Zhou Yu was originally lying face-in, but at this moment she sat down on the edge of the bed without a sound, drew back the bed curtain a little, and watched me quietly.

I lost my mind, and the hairpin fell out of my hand. Fortunately, it fell on the shoe surface without any sound.

"Fool," he said, "If you put too much Anshenxiang, it will choke you."

I slowly leaned over, picked up the hairpin and tucked it into my sleeve: "Sorry."

"What's the matter?" His face became paler and frightening under the moonlight.

I wanted to ask, "Did you take the astrolabe?", but the words turned into: "Are you better?"

"Oh, it's okay to say during the day. Guanglan, you don't know what I am?"

Of course I know what kind of person he is, no matter how painful he is, he will not tell others how uncomfortable he is.

I replied word by word: "Your complexion is very bad."

He slowly lay back on the bed, trying his best to suppress the sound of panting due to the pain. After a long time, Fang said in a hoarse voice: "Then Hua Tuo has shown me that there is no serious problem."

"His medical skills are superb, but... what you said may not be true."

He slowly set his eyes on me, with a wry smile on the corner of his mouth: "What are you talking about?"

"You were wounded by an arrow." I've never been so sure.

He was noncommittal, and looked away: "Go back and rest." He started coughing again, but suppressed it forcefully, covering his chest tremblingly.I looked uncomfortable and left quickly.

From the second day onwards, the officials who remained in Chaisang, regardless of their positions, flocked to the Dudu Mansion to visit the sick.Probably Xiao Qiao knew very well that they seldom visited sincerely, and most of them used the visit to see the direction of the wind, so she coldly rejected most of the visits. Only Master Lu Zijing was allowed to visit in the room for a simple visit.

And these days, I have become more and more restless every day, because Zhou Yu sent someone to tell me without warning that before Qixi Festival, I would be sent to my cousin in Kuaiji County to spend the rest of the summer.Sending people away at such a critical moment, at best, is because of my safety; at worst, it is because he does not trust my ability.

What's more, according to the situation of the day before yesterday, seven or eight out of ten astrology disks were taken away by Zhou Yu.What is he going to do?Has he discussed it with Mr.Does he know the consequences of using the astrolabe with his current poor body? !

That thing is awesome I tried it once a long time ago.He was fashionable in his teens and was ignorant and fearless. If it wasn't for my youthful background and my husband's careful care, I would have almost lost my life on that broken copper plate the size of a palm after 2000.

There is a price to be paid for spying on the secrets of the heavens. For every glimpse of the secrets of the heavens, the peepers are required to offer corresponding Yangshou in exchange.What's more, for him, the trend of the world in the next thousand years is clear, why should he risk his life to do such a stupid thing?Maybe he has his reasons, and to be honest, I can't stop it.I just secretly made up my mind that if that time really comes, I will inevitably find a way to take it for him, which can be regarded as repaying his kindness for taking care of him for many years.

------------------------------------------------------------

I called Zhu'er to me, and said to her, "Today I want to go for a walk in the countryside. Zhu'er, you don't need to accompany me, and ask the family boy to prepare a horse."

Although Huzhu is young, she is professional after all and insists on being with me.I had no choice but to scold her with a downcast face, feeling very sorry.

He changed into a man's attire and went out. As soon as he left the city, he found a tail behind him.I got off my horse at Shiliting with a wry smile, and said loudly, "Come out for me."

One person turned out from behind the bushes and knelt down on one knee, "My servant disturbed the lady, please forgive me."

"There is no shock, but disturbance is sure. Where did Lai Yan go?"

He lowered his head, as if he was considering what answer to give.

"Look up and answer." I said slowly.

The person in front of him had thick eyebrows and big eyes, with a square Chinese character face, but his expression was stern: "The commander has other important things to do, and the special servants are here to protect, miss forgive me."

The corner of my mouth twitched, and I reluctantly let him walk around with me.

Passing by the front yard the next day, under the gate of the moon cave, Lai Yan stood quietly aside.Seeing me approaching, he hastily stepped forward to salute: "I've seen you, Miss."

"Oh, what's the matter." I sneered pretendingly.

"The humble official came here today to plead guilty to the young lady. The humble official's inability to manage his subordinates frightened the young lady."

It turned out to be about the uncle with the wooden face yesterday.I rolled my eyes and said, "That's nothing. But, when did you get promoted and didn't tell me?"

He was stunned, he is not my subordinate, why should he report this matter to me?I was speechless for a while.

Seeing his expression, I was secretly refreshed: "Why didn't you answer?"

"Humble position... please forgive me, miss."

I teased: "I won't punish you, but think about how you should make amends - first conceal the report, and then teach laxly. Um, come to command?"

"Death to a humble job."

I didn't like it anymore: "What if you die, you only have one life. That's all, uncle thinks so much of you, how can I punish you?"

"Miss Xie forgive me, humble job..."

"Don't thank me, I haven't finished my sentence yet. I went to the suburbs the day before yesterday, and I saw a place where magnolia flowers bloomed very well from a distance. Why don't you——Anyway, my uncle doesn't allow me to go out alone, so you can accompany me the next day. .”

Seeing that he had no objection, I struck while the iron was hot: "This is your punishment, so you are not allowed to report it to uncle, understand? Otherwise, I will punish you!"

"Don't dare to be humble, and follow the orders of the young lady." There was a wry smile on the corner of his mouth, and he nodded helplessly, only thinking that I was childish and fooling around.

"That's good, you go."

He walked a few steps, and I stopped him again: "Hey, I'm going to the morning market tomorrow, so don't dress so...murderously."

"No, the humble official knows."

Watching the direction in which he left, I gradually darkened my face.

On the appointed day, I got up early and went to the stables to lead the horses.But Lai Yan was earlier than me, and when he left the courtyard, he was already guarding the door, standing straight under the courtyard wall in a dark robe.When he saw me, he bowed and I waved him to go to the stables with me.

The sky was still pitch black, and the servants in the courtyard shuttled silently.There was a thin layer of water vapor floating a few feet above, and the air was humid and mild.

"The sky is still dark, Miss, do you want to wait a little longer before setting off?"

"That's all right," I said, "when the sun comes out, the darkness goes away."

The streets and alleys in the north of the city are very wide, and because it is the official territory, there are few passers-by who get up early, so I galloped wildly.

After running halfway through the city in one breath, I reined in the horse, turned my head excitedly and said to the person behind me: "Look at my horse! Last year it was a foal, but this year it is so beautiful, and its pace is also very fast. Nothing to say."

Lai Yan urged the horse to follow me, and smiled slightly when he heard this: "Miss, although this mount is tall, it has not yet fully grown, and it still lacks stamina."

"Hey, so your horse has better stamina than mine?"

"The humble horse is just an ordinary northern horse. How dare you compare it with Miss's famous horse. Your horse has round muscles and thick hooves. Given time, it will definitely be a good horse for thousands of miles."

"You have some foresight. This is the Qiang horse given to Uncle by General Sun. It is said that it cost thousands of gold to get it." After I finished speaking proudly, I rode my horse all the way to the south of the city.

The further south I went, the more people there were on the street, most of them were ordinary people buying vegetables and carrying water. I had to rein in the horse and tell it to walk in small steps.The horse trainers in the mansion are very skilled, and the horse is very temperless. Even though I restrained it ignorantly, it didn't get annoyed.

Speaking of which, Zhuer took me to the Chengnan morning market years ago. I especially like the soy milk there.

The little official in charge of guarding the gate of the morning market yelled for us to get off our horses from a distance, signaling to tie the horses to a row of hitching posts outside the market.

I looked the little official up and down, and smiled lightly: "My horse is very expensive, what if someone steals it?"

The little official probably saw that the horse we were leading was of extraordinary appearance, so he calmed down and said: "Master, why don't you ask your servants to take care of it here."

"That's no good. He's gone to see the horses. Who will carry my things for me, will you?"

The little official had probably never seen me so unreasonable, and his face was a bit unhappy: "Young master, it's good, the villain is also responsible."

I raised my eyebrows and said, "What a responsibility! This son will fulfill you. I left the horse here, and I will find you if there is a hair missing." After saying that, without waiting for his reaction, he entered the market lightly.

When I sat down early, I asked Laiyan: "Who is this little official guarding the city gate? It's so unreasonable!"

Compared with the last time, Lai Yan has obviously improved. Although he sat at the same table with me this time, his expression remained calm: "This person is named Xue Cong, and he studied under Liu Xi of Jiaozhou."

"It turns out that the young and promising Mr. Xue has only worked for a few months. How did he become a small city official?" I laughed.

The aunt who sells soy milk is serving a plate of salted fish. When we mentioned Xue Cong, she couldn't help grinning: "The customer is talking about Mr. Xue at the door, right?"

"Grandma, what happened to the man at the gate of the market?" I hurriedly asked.
