Chapter 146 The Seventh Lady (End)

When Lin Zhao returned to the main courtyard, he saw that everyone in the courtyard was in a commotion. Mrs. Chu was carried back to the bedroom by Lin Huai. Mrs. Bo and others stood under the verandah outside the door, with panic on their faces, especially Mrs. Hu. With a cold sweat on his face, he saw Lin Zhao coming quickly, his eyes constantly evading, making him uneasy and wishing he could leave the Lin Mansion immediately.

Lin Zhao glanced at her and entered the inner room without asking any questions. Mrs. Chu was lying on the couch, her face was like gold paper, her breath was weak, and she was already unconscious. How had Lin Zhao ever seen Chu's disease since he was a child? It was such a heavy experience that I immediately felt a pain in my heart, "Mother——"

Lin Huai sighed heavily and held Chu's hand tightly without letting go. The two of them were young couples who had been very close to each other for many years. Chu had suffered from heartache in the past, but he had never suffered such a sudden collapse. After a while, thinking of Mr. Hu's unreasonable behavior just now, Lin Huai almost began to regret getting married, "Don't worry, when Uncle Cheng comes, we have already sent someone to invite you."

Can Lin Zhao not be anxious now, "Is the medicine prepared by my mother available? Why did it happen like this when she fell to the ground?"

Lin Huai sighed again, "I have taken the medicine. As for today's matter, the Bo family wants to set the wedding date for you and Xian'er in the winter moon. Your mother and I feel that time is too tight, so we plan to do it. It was originally scheduled for next year, but Xian'er's mother was unwilling and said that she would ask an official matchmaker to perform the wedding ceremony when she returned. Whether we wanted it or not, we had to set the wedding date first. Your mother was furious for a while. I just fainted——"

Lin Zhao was dumbfounded. The marriage of children has always been negotiated peacefully between the two families. Even if the Bo family was anxious, they would not be so noisy. What's more, they had already agreed to get married next year, so why are they so forced to come to their door now?

In Lin Zhao's eyes, the Bo family was also a scholarly and noble family. He couldn't imagine what Bo's mother looked like when she said these things. But looking at the Chu family's dying appearance, he felt pain in his heart, fearing that the Chu family would It would be nice if something happened.

Under the verandah outside the door, Bo Yixian and Bo Yixuan also arrived. Bo Yixian looked at Mrs. Hu with a pale face and gritted her teeth: "Mother, what is going on? How could you make Aunt Lin faint in anger? ?"

Last time, the Hu family made the Chu family angry and upset. Later, it was Bo Yixian who forced her to bring gifts to her door. The Lin family was generous and generous, so they didn't care about it just now. When Bo Jingqian went north, it was Lin Huai who took care of it. Let him suffer less on the road, and go out of the city to see him off on the day before leaving, which is enough to give Bo's face. Seeing this, Bo Yixian wanted to strike the engagement date while the iron was hot, but she never thought that something would happen. Such a scene.

Hu's face turned paler, "I... I did it for you, daughter. Don't you want to get married early? But they didn't want to, and they still wanted to set the wedding date for next year, so I said I would ask the official when I get back. The matchmaker has set your day. The day has been set. Do the Lin family still want to admit it? I...I just said this, but she fell down in anger——"

There were many servants of the Lin family guarding the yard. Seeing Hu's words, they all turned their attention to Bo Yixian. They didn't seem to expect that Bo Yixian was in a hurry to marry into the Lin family.

Bo Yixian was anxious and angry, and her face turned red with embarrassment when she saw Mrs. Hu talking so freely. However, compared with the embarrassment of being in a hurry to get married, she was more worried about what would happen to Mrs. Chu today. She knew in her heart that once Mrs. Chu I'm really angry. Not to mention that the wedding date is set in Dongyue. I'm afraid it's a problem whether the marriage still exists.

Bo Yixian looked at Mrs. Hu bitterly, feeling that she failed more than succeeded and failed more than failed. When she wanted to go through the door, she was stopped by a servant of the Lin family. The maid who held her arms looked at her coldly. Looking at her, "Miss Bo, please pay attention to your status. This is the bedroom of the master and his wife. The girl can just wait outside."

In the past, the servants of the Lin family were very respectful to her, and they were polite even when they tried to stop her. They had never spoken so bluntly about her. Bo Yixian felt extremely humiliated, but in the current situation, she could only grit her teeth and endure it.

The Lin family is to the west of Changshou Fang, and the Cheng family's new house is to the east of Changshou Fang. It is also because of this that after waiting for two sticks of incense, Cheng Yunzhi arrived. The Lin family was in a hurry, and their words were even more frightened. Cheng Yunzhi Not daring to delay, he immediately took Bo Ruoyou to the Lin Mansion. After entering the main courtyard, he realized that both the second and second rooms of the Bo family's main house were here.

Bo Yixian also did not expect that the doctor hired by the Lin family was Cheng Yunzhi. She was filled with hatred and jealousy in her heart, but she also hoped that Cheng Yunzhi would cure the Chu family so as not to cause trouble that would never turn around. When Bao Ruoyou saw them and saw that all the servants in the courtyard were indifferent to them, he already guessed three points in his heart.

Cheng Yunzhi nodded to Bo Jingli and led Bo Ruoyou into the house.

They couldn't enter this door, but Cheng Yun's father and daughter could pass through without hindrance. Bo Yixian's heart clenched as she felt that this door separated her and Lin Zhao, but put Bo Ruoyou and Lin Zhao together. , she looked anxious and paced back and forth impatiently.

When Lin Huai saw Cheng Yunzhi in the house, he seemed to have seen a life-saving straw, "Yunzhi, save Shuning quickly——"

Lin Huai's voice was trembling, and when he looked at Lin Zhao, his eyes were also red with anxiety, "Uncle Cheng, please save mother -"

Cheng Yun came forward and started to ask for his pulse without saying anything. As soon as his fingertips touched the pulse gate, he also frowned. Seeing his expression, Lin Huai and his wife felt a thump in their hearts. Said: "How?"

Cheng Yunzhi said calmly: "The pulse is stringy and heavy. It may be a hidden disease caused by blockage and damage to the heart. It was triggered by being frightened and angry today. She usually suffers from panic, palpitations, shortness of breath, and angina." What's going on?"

When Lin Huai heard this, he nodded hastily, "Yes, yes. I had an attack a few days ago, but it was not that serious. I took some decoction and nursed it back to health in a few days."

Cheng Yunzhi nodded, "That's it. Just looking at the pulse is a bit bad right now. I'll prescribe a life-saving prescription. First, I'll make a soup and feed it to her. Then I'll give her an acupuncture. Can she wake up? Come here, it depends on God's will."

Lin Huai swayed and immediately ordered someone to bring a pen and paper. Cheng Yunzhi wrote a recipe in a few breaths. Lin Huai ordered someone to boil some medicine. Fortunately, the medicinal materials were available at home.

In this moment, Cheng Yunzhi opened the medical kit he brought with him and asked Bo Ruoyou to take out the silver needle and wipe it with strong wine. He continued to ask for pulse and breath, and also asked about Chu Shuning's daily discomfort. After the quick soup and medicine were boiled and delivered, Cheng Yunzhi ordered Lin Huai to feed Chu Shuning, and then gave her acupuncture.

During this period, Chu Shuning woke up for a moment, but was unconscious. Cheng Yunzhi breathed a sigh of relief, "If you can wake up, you will be saved. It will take at least an hour for me to perform the acupuncture. You can go outside and wait."

Lin Huai didn't care about this at first, but suddenly remembered that the Bo family was still outside. As a man, he had a lot of patience with the Hu family earlier, but now that Chu Shuning is so ill, he doesn't care about etiquette. , he walked out of the bedroom and called the housekeeper: "Is the Bo family still there?"

"The master who is here has been waiting outside."

Lin Huai sneered briefly, "Let them go back home. Now that my wife is seriously ill, I can't entertain them."

The housekeeper left in response, and soon there was a burst of fierce talking outside the house. However, Lin Huai had already given this order, so the housekeeper naturally did not let go. After a few more arguments, the Bo family left in despair.

Both Cheng Yunzhi and Bo Ruoyou in the room heard this, but they both looked calm and did not ask any more questions. Lin Huai turned around and came in, looked at Cheng Yunzhi, then at Bo Ruoyou, and sighed deeply, as did Lin Zhao's face. Uncomfortable.

As expected, the acupuncture took an hour. After Cheng Yun took the acupuncture and waited for a while, Chu Shuning really woke up. She fell to the ground this time. She didn't expect that when she opened her eyes, Seeing her husband and son, her eyes immediately turned red. Lin Huai stepped forward and held her hand. Only then did she see Cheng Yunzhi and Bo Ruoyou.

Cheng Yunzhi saw that the person was awake, and his heart settled, "My life has been saved, but this disease cannot be underestimated. Fortunately, you are still young. If you fall like this in a few years, it will be difficult." Rescue, after today, take good care of yourself and avoid getting angry."

Chu Shuning naturally thanked her, and several people stayed with her for a while. After taking the decoction once, Chu Shuning fell asleep again, and Lin Huai then lighted up. Cheng Yunzhi and Bao Ruoyou went out and sat down. After the others served tea, Lin Huai then She sighed bitterly, "I won't hide it from you. Shu Ning was angry with Yi Xian's mother today, and it was not for anything else, just because of the wedding date. They wanted to get married in Dongyue——"

Bo Ruoyou frowned and drank tea, and Cheng Yunzhi was calm when he heard this, "I said at the beginning that when you make a choice, you have to bear the consequences. The big house of the Bo family... you always know the details. ”

Lin Huai's smile became more and more bitter. At this time, his eyes fell on Bo Ruoyou, and he felt more and more that she was calm and well-behaved. He looked away, "Maybe I was wrong back then, one step wrong, every step wrong, and today I almost made a mistake. It’s no one else’s fault that Shu Ning died.”

Cheng Yunzhi didn't answer much, as if he agreed with this statement. Lin Huai couldn't help but asked about their new house. Cheng Yunzhi simply answered. Seeing that it was getting late outside, he wanted to leave, but Lin Huai still wanted to keep them. After dinner, Chu Shuning was seriously ill, so he still declined Lin Huai's kindness.

Lin Huai felt a little guilty, but Cheng Yunzhi talked to him and came back to visit the patient the next day. The father and his son personally sent Cheng Yunzhi and his daughter out. Watching their carriage leave, Lin Huai sighed heavily.

Lin Zhao was listening, thinking about Bo Ruoyou's passing through the house today, almost without saying a word, and he was thinking about his mother, but he didn't care about it, but what Lin Huai and Cheng Yunzhi said just now seemed to be some old things. Normally, he hesitated for a moment without asking any more questions, thinking that Cheng Yunzhi would have to come to see his mother for several days in a row, which made him feel somewhat relieved.

On the carriage back home, Cheng Yunzhi also sighed a little, "I'm afraid the Bo family is impatient. This conviction has caused their family to plummet, and Lin Huai is about to be promoted. Most of them are worried that the Lin family will regret the marriage."

He snorted mockingly, "It's because he has a guilty conscience. This marriage has been circulated in the capital for many years. As long as they wait patiently, the higher Lin Huai's position is, the less likely he will regret the marriage. Today's event Normally, it’s really unknown how the marriage will be planned.”

Bo Ruoyou did not expect that the Lin family would be in such trouble, but she did not care about Lin Zhao and Bo Yixian's marriage, and asked about Chu Shuning's illness. Cheng Yunzhi explained it to her in detail, and then pondered for a while. Still saying: "I'm afraid that the Bo family is also very scared now, but I'm afraid they won't give up on this marriage. From now on, when my adoptive father goes to visit the Lin family, you don't have to follow him."

Cheng Yunzhi was only afraid that she would cause trouble if she ran into the Bo family, so Bo Ruoyou agreed.

Early on the next morning, when Cheng Yunzhi arrived at the Lin family, he did not bring Bo Ruoyou with him. When Lin Zhao came out to greet him, he took a second look in the carriage and was a little disappointed after he was convinced that Cheng Yun was the only one who came. .

When they entered the bedroom in the main courtyard, Chu Shuning had already woken up and was taking decoction. Cheng Yunzhi asked for her pulse and applied acupuncture for another hour. The acupuncture was not administered until the sun was high. At this time, the housekeeper outside came to report, Someone from the Bo family is here.

Bo Yixian brought Mrs. Hu and Bo Yixuan to the door to apologize.

When Lin Huai heard this, he refused, "No, let them go back. Madam is still ill. The illness will not be cured for a day, and she will disappear for a day. No one wants to enter the door of Lin Mansion." Enter."

The housekeeper naturally went out to chase people away, and Chu Shuning asked: "Why don't you see Youyou coming?"

Cheng Yunzhi said gently: "The case in the Yamen has not yet been decided. She went to the Yamen today to answer the question. Knowing that your illness is stable for the time being, she will come with me to visit you another day."

Chu Shuning sighed, "Youyou is a good boy."

She looked like he was hesitating to speak, but Cheng Yunzhi refused to accept the words, and instead asked about recuperation. Lin Huai and Chu Shuning both saw that he was very shy, so naturally they didn't want to say much. Waiting for Cheng Yunzhi After saying goodbye in the afternoon, Chu Shuning sighed.

Lin Zhao thought she was still angry and naturally tried to comfort her. Chu Shuning looked at him but hesitated, "Zhao'er, mother is not someone who hates poverty and loves wealth. Why don't you agree to Bo's request this time?" I got married earlier, and I did think about you and your father's career. This is also beyond reproach. It's Bo who is unreasonable, do you understand?"

Lin Zhao later asked about the cause and effect of yesterday, and he weighed right and wrong in his heart, "Mother, I understand."

Chu Shuning stroked her heart, "In the past, I thought Yi Xian was a good person, and the marriage was decided early. Your father and I both regarded her as your unmarried wife, but now my mother feels that this marriage is not appropriate. Well, especially her mother, she is really not easy to get along with. You and your father are officials in the same court, which will make people jealous. If the in-laws in the future do not follow their own rules, won't they hinder your future?"

Lin Zhao frowned for a moment, "But can you still regret your marriage now? This marriage has been scheduled for many years, and everyone in the capital knows that if you regret it now, Lin will betray his faith, and Bo will be adding insult to injury. Yi Xian is a woman, which is also detrimental to her reputation."

Although he spoke rationally, his voice was quite harsh, which showed that he was holding back dissatisfaction in his heart. Chu Shuning suddenly asked: "Zhao'er, how much do you love Yi Xian?"

When Lin Zhao heard this, there was not much emotion on his face. He only said sincerely: "This is the marriage that my mother and father have decided for me. Of course I like it."

This statement made Chu Shuning startled. She looked into Lin Zhao's dark eyes and felt even more sorry for him. "You didn't know something...back then..."

Chu Shuning looked at Lin Huai hesitantly, but Lin Huai didn't answer, so she had to swallow the words and cover her heart with one hand, showing pain, "It's all your father and me's fault. I should never die to save face. Now that there is such a commotion, even now, it is difficult for your father and I to say the word "repented marriage", but when I think about you being bullied like this in the future, you may even have a family. Without peace, my mother will not be able to accept this marriage willingly."

The more she thought about it, the more difficult it was to understand. When Lin Huai saw this, he quickly tried to persuade her. After a long while, Chu Shuning closed her eyes and lay down. Lin Zhao had been waiting for a long time, so Lin Huai let him go when he saw this. After resting, Lin Zhao had to retire first.

After he retreated, the boy beside him walked up quickly and whispered: "Master, Mr. Bo and the young lady are waiting outside the side door and asked you to meet -"

Lin Zhao frowned and thought for a while, but he still walked towards the side door. As soon as he went out, he saw the Bo brothers and sisters standing in the quiet alley. When they saw him, both of them looked surprised, especially Bo Yixian. He stepped forward quickly, his eyes red, "Brother Zhao, how is auntie?"

Lin Zhao looked at her, feeling depressed in his heart, but still maintaining politeness on his face, "It's better."

Bo Yixian blinked and tears fell, "Brother Zhao, it's all my mother's fault. My father was convicted. My mother was very flustered. She was afraid that you would dislike us, so she became anxious. I know that this time we The crime is huge. Now that my aunt doesn’t want to see us, we won’t come to blame her. If we treat my aunt better, we will come back to apologize again.”

Lin Zhao took a deep breath, "Why are you suddenly anxious to advance the wedding date?" He gritted his teeth, and finally couldn't help but show some reproach, "Originally, I said next year, if my father and mother don't want to advance the wedding date, they can still do it well Discuss, why can my aunt say such unreasonable things? How is this the behavior that a family of poetry, literature and etiquette should behave?"

Lin Zhao said again: "I heard from my servants that your mother said it yourself that you wanted to get married early?"

These words made Bo Yixian's face turn red instantly, and her eyes trembled slightly, "I...Brother Zhao, I'm scared too. You don't understand how people in the capital talked about us after our father was convicted. We are the county children." Everyone has lost contact with me, I..."

She raised her eyes and looked at Lin Zhao, tears falling down, "We have been engaged for several years, and Brother Zhao also understands my thoughts. I didn't think so long term. I thought Brother Zhao would also like to get married earlier. That’s why I never stopped my mother..."

Seeing her crying so sadly, no matter how much Lin Zhao blamed her, he could not get angry at her, a weak woman. Considering that the two families had been close for many years, if nothing happened to the Bo family, it would be a good story in the eyes of everyone in the capital. Bo Yixian had treated him with care since she was a child, and he could see it. Now that the Bo family was in such a predicament, it was understandable that she would want to find someone to rely on when the family was in crisis.

Lin Zhao suppressed the bitterness in his throat and said, "My mother is in bed now to recuperate from illness. I have to take care of her illness in the near future. You don't have to come to the house every day. I will discuss the rest of the other matters after my mother recovers. Go back home."

After Lin Zhao finished speaking, he turned around and entered the house. Bo Yixian watched his back disappear with tearful eyes, and then raised her hand to wipe her tears. The sadness and regret on her face disappeared, and then a hint of indifferent resentment appeared. Bo Yixuan looked at her and felt a little strange. He had come to apologize with her. Seeing her cry so sadly before made people feel that she regretted that she should not have forced Mrs. Lin. But at this moment, he felt that Bo Yixian He didn't blame himself as much as he imagined.

Chu's illness does not occur overnight, and it is not easy to nurse him back to health. When Cheng Yunzhi came on the third day, he still came alone. Lin Zhao was on leave in the mansion to attend to his illness, so he still received Cheng Yunzhi. After seeing the doctor that day After sending Cheng Yunzhi away, Lin Zhao sat in Chu's room and started to feel startled. Chu felt even more distressed when he saw this.

In the evening of that day, Lin Huai returned to his house, and the family talked for a while. Lin Huai saw that Lin Zhao looked tired, so he asked him to go and rest first. Lin Zhao agreed, but went out. Go to the kitchen to get Mrs. Chu the last soup of the day.

In the inner room, seeing Lin Zhao leaving, Chu Shuning said with tears in her eyelashes: "Lin Huai, how good is this? Zhao'er doesn't seem to have any true love for Yi Xian, but he has known her since he was a child. In this marriage contract, I just want to follow the orders of my parents, but you and I have chosen such a marriage for him. Why don’t we harm him in the future——"

Lin Huai was silent and seemed to have aged a lot in the past few days. Chu Shuning sighed, "I regret it a little. If only when Yun Zhi had just returned to Beijing, we would have changed the marriage arrangement back then. , wouldn’t it save so many entanglements?”

Chu Shuning recalled, "Although Zhao'er has not grown up with Youyou since he was a child, I saw that he is quite enthusiastic about Youyou, at least he likes this sister, and Youyou's temperament is more innocent than Yi Xian. ”

"Yixian knows what happened in the marriage back then. She is anxious to get married this time. I am afraid that she is just like her mother for fear of something going wrong. If she had known this, we should not have changed our marriages back then. These things If Nian is still engaged to Youyou, even if we can't wait any longer and switch to another girl, it would still be better than getting married to the Bo family's eldest brother."

Lin Huai sighed, "It's too late to say this now. When Yun Zhi said that he would never pursue this matter again, he really meant that he would not pursue it. You have also seen it. Now we are having trouble with the Bo family. He was unhappy, but he didn’t say much, so he wanted to stay out of it.”

Chu Shuning felt regretful and heartbroken when she thought of this. She was about to raise her hands to wipe her tears when she saw the shadow falling on the ground from the outside at the door of the inner room. She was startled and quickly asked, "Who is outside?! ”

Footsteps sounded, and soon, a surprised Lin Zhao walked in holding a bowl of soup. Lin Huai and Chu Shuning's expressions changed slightly, and then they heard Lin Zhao ask in a difficult voice: "You just said, Was the person I was engaged to be my sister Ruoyou?"

……

On the fifth day after Bo Ruoyou went to the Yamen, Liu Yao’s case was finally finalized. Although she didn’t have to do an autopsy, she helped the clerks organize the documents and files. She was very busy all day long. On this day, Wu Xiang He gave her the last piece of evidence to transcribe. He sighed and sat down on the open chair beside him. "Now that we have found all the personal and material evidence, we will go to court in two days, and then we will be able to convict. This case is over." Now, let’s all take a good rest.”

Other officials responded, but Bo Ruoyou didn't say anything. She wrote extremely well in small regular script, and the files she copied always looked particularly neat and strict. Wu Xiang's eyes fell on her, feeling helpless. Sighed.

He could see that Bao Ruoyou was deliberately looking for something to do for himself. Thinking of the rumors in the capital these days, he felt a little sorry for this little girl.

Liu Heng’s confession of murdering Liu Yao came out very quickly, but a lot of evidence is needed to make the case final in court.

As Bo Ruoyou expected, after Liu Yao was banned from Shuiyue Temple, Liu Heng did go to Shuiyue Temple more than once. At the end of February, the beginning of April, and the beginning of June, Liu Heng used different As an excuse to go to Shuiyue An, the method used was to let the servant pretend to be himself and act as the servant himself.

In February and April, he knew early in the morning that there would be no one at Shuiyue Temple for those two days, so he went to the Flower House by Weiyang Lake and booked two guest rooms for two nights. When no one was prepared, he He asked the young man to stay in the building while he rode out of the city to see Liu Yao. Later he went there with Liu Xu, all to appease Liu Yao.

After the decline of the Liu family, the dispute over family property became a top priority. Liu Sanye was unwilling to accept it. As his son, Liu Heng naturally had to help his father secretly infiltrate Chen Cang. This matter was revealed by Liu Heng, who had an affair with Liu Hengsheng. Yao knew about it, and naturally it became a worry for Liu Heng.

The matter of Liu Yao being expelled from the family tree seems to be a secret in the palace, but the annual ritual ceremony two years ago was arranged by Liu Sanye. He holds the keys to the ancestral hall. It was at that time that Liu Heng read the family tree. After further investigation, we found out Liu Yao's life experience. He had a naughty temperament. At first he just wanted to tease Liu Yao, but later he actually developed some feelings for her.

He never thought about having a relationship with Liu Yao, but he never expected that Liu Yao would be pregnant. He did not dare to make a fuss about it. Fortunately, Liu Yao treated him well and never confessed to him, but this matter After the quarrel, there seemed to be no turning around. By the beginning of August, his original intention was to visit Liu Yao again, but he did not want to have a dispute that day, and he became angry and had murderous intentions.

After the incident, he lived in fear and was tortured. For this reason, he became addicted to gold ointment. He thought that the matter would be settled if Liu Yao died, but he did not want the Yamen to find out the truth.

Wu Xiang went to Weiyang Lake many times in the past two days. It was the gold-selling cave of the nobles in the capital, and naturally it was also the place where rumors flourished. The most terrifying rumor Wu Xiang heard was that Marquis Wu Zhao was buried. In the southwest, the court kept it secret, just for fear of causing shock to the government and the public. But in fact, Wu Zhaohou's body was already on the road. Only when he returned to the capital would the court find an excuse to mourn him without causing disputes——

When Wu Xiang heard this rumor, he couldn't help but shudder.

He could not imagine that Huo Wei Tower collapsed in the northwest.

"Xiao Bo——" Wu Xiang suddenly said, "Liu Heng said that he did not have a premeditated plan. Do you think it is credible?"

Bao Ruoyou then raised her eyes and nodded: "It's credible. Before the nuns cleaned up the house, there were signs of disputes. If he had premeditated it, at least he should have thought of this, and he and Liu Yao It is reasonable to kill someone after an argument and then run away in fear."

After Bao Ruoyou finished speaking, he lowered his eyes to transcribe the file. Wu Xiang sighed and said nothing more. By the time the transcription was completed, the sun had already set. Bao Ruoyou straightened up and took a look outside. His heart felt suffocated again. , this day is about to pass again.

She handed the files to the clerks on the side, and just left the Yamen when she saw that it was getting late. The setting sun cast a layer of golden afterglow, but the wind that rushed into the carriage was cold. After counting the days, it turned out to be the end of August. On the last day, as September entered, the weather became extremely cold.

She couldn't help but feel her throat tightening when she thought that Huo Weilou was still in single clothes when he left Beijing. There were rumors that Huo Weilou had died in the southwest, but how could that be possible? He was a man with powerful hands and eyes. He was only twenty-three years old and would never die quietly. She took a deep breath and the fingertips in her sleeves trembled slightly.

Bo Ruoyou ordered the carriage to drive to the Marquis of Wuzhao's Mansion. When she arrived outside the gate of the Marquis' Mansion, she saw that the door was tightly closed. It really seemed that the owner had not returned from a long journey. She looked at it for a moment, but did not get off the carriage and enter the mansion. If any news comes back, Eunuch Fu will let her know even if she doesn't ask.

Bao Ruoyou looked at the closed door, and for a moment he was afraid that the door would never open.

Gui Fu accompanied Cheng Yunzhi to dinner, and Bo Ruoyou accompanied him to read medical books for a while before returning to the room. She sat in front of the dressing table, the bronze mirror reflected her delicate and beautiful face, but she was distracted for a moment. , she felt that the face of the person in the mirror was blurred, and it was not her own. She was startled, and the jade comb in her hand slipped to the ground, and broke into two pieces with a "snap".

The jade comb was broken, which was not a good sign. Her heart suffocated, and she almost impatiently took out the peace amulet she had obtained at Xiangguo Temple from under the pillow. The peace amulet was empty and should be put there. She had the birth date of Huo Weilou, but she didn't know Huo Weilou's birth date, so she asked for the peace talisman rather hastily. Would Buddha blame her for not being sincere?

She could never sleep peacefully again.

It was September, and a heavy rain in late autumn extinguished the last trace of heat. She asked Cheng Yunzhi and Liangshu to put on thick robes, and she also wore autumn clothes. This autumn clothes were early in summer. She was newly cut, but because she had lost some weight recently, her waist was somewhat empty. Even Cheng Yunzhi noticed that she had lost weight, so he asked Auntie Liang to make nourishing soup from time to time.

That day Zhou Liang came back from outside with a rather anxious look on his face, but in front of Bo Ruoyou, he did not dare to say a word. After she returned to her room, Zhou Liang said softly: "Master, outside the room It is also said that a group of mountain people in the southwest have rebelled, and that the Marquis was killed by these people. Early this morning, an 800-mile urgent army sent by the southwest garrison entered the city, and they also brought with them a vehicle that was used only when the army had urgent orders. The dragon arrow entered Xuanwumen unobstructed, and many people in the street saw it."

Cheng Yunzhi frowned, took a reassuring look at Xiyuan, and said, "Don't let the lady hear these words."

Zhou Liang nodded quickly in response.

Although Bo Ruoyou didn't hear these words, when he went to the Yamen in the afternoon to answer questions, he noticed that the atmosphere in the capital was unusual. There was an urgent military report.

Her thin figure stood under the bright plaque of the Yamen. She was stunned for a while before she came back to her senses. The Yamen was fine, but she didn't want to go home as soon as possible. She sat in the back hall, thinking She was looking for an errand, but the yamen had been idle for the past two days, and there was no errand for transcribing files. It was not until nightfall that she got up and went to Changshoufang.

She was thinking along the way, even the military newspaper had arrived in Beijing, how could there be no news from Huo Weilou!

Unless...

Her breath was suffocated, her hands and feet were cold and her fingertips were numb, her soul and soul seemed to have been pulled away, the tip of her nose was sore, but her eyes were dry, as if her six senses were gone, and she couldn't cry even if she wanted to.

I don’t know how long it took, but the carriage suddenly stopped. Bo Ruoyou knew that she had arrived at the door, but she couldn’t move as if she had lost all strength. At this time, Zhou Liang suddenly said in an excited voice: "Miss——"

Bao Ruoyou seemed to have never heard it. It was not until Zhou Liang shouted louder that she came back to her senses. She stood up and slowly leaned forward to lift the curtain. As soon as the curtain was lifted, she was stunned. Live.

In front of the new house gate, a carriage stopped.

The carriage had a red cover and green curtains, and was plain and ordinary. But at that moment, Bo Ruoyou's eyes trembled hard, and she was almost stunned for a moment, then she staggered down and ran towards the carriage. Before she saw the carriage, she hid in a coma. Dozens of cavalrymen in the light lifted up the curtain with the force of tearing silk.

There was a tall and majestic figure sitting in the carriage. He was leaning on the carriage wall as if he was dozing. The moment the curtain was lifted, he suddenly opened his eyes. His phoenix eyes were as deep as a cold pool, but he was looking at When the time came to Bo Ruoyou, he immediately leaned forward, but before he could lean out, Bo Ruoyou had already climbed up.

She threw herself into his arms, pushing him back, and her back hit the chariot wall. He wrapped his arms around him, but he couldn't help but groan in pain. Bo Ruoyou heard it and smelled it again. There was a faint smell of blood on his body, but she didn't want to move away. She only hugged him tighter and tighter. Only then did she hear her whimper softly.
