C35

Tang Zi Qi woke up not long after. She was not hurt, but she had lost a lot of blood and was very weak. She woke up several times and then fell asleep again. It was rare for her to become a patient, so she could confidently leave things be. Of course, she had to seize this opportunity to sleep well until she woke up naturally. With this mindset, she happily rested for a few days.

Her young friend Ye Hua Shi had been protecting her the entire time. This evening, watching her take the medicine and fall asleep, she lightly cleaned up the soup bowl and then came back out.

However, he met Xue Yin Shu outside the door.

Xue Yin Shu seemed to have been standing there for a while, and no one followed beside him. Ye Hua Shi hurriedly bowed in respect, "Your Highness, A Qi has just fallen asleep, if you want to see her …"

"I know." Xue Yin Shu said, "You go first, don't wake her up."

Ye Hua Shi hesitated for a moment, he did not say anything else and left.

Xue Yin Shu stood quietly outside the door for a while before finally pushing it open and entering.

He had come three times during the days when she was injured. The first two times were actually just a passing by. She took a glance from afar and saw someone who was taking care of her entering and exiting, but she did not come over. When he heard that she was awake, he wanted to see her, but he didn't know why he kept hesitating.

She lived in an ordinary lady's cottage in Yunhua Station. After the death of the young lady, although there was no master left, the decorations of the flowers and trees were still the same as before. After Tang Zi Qi moved out of the frost wood garden, he started living next to the elders who had served Yu Lan Lan. She had always kept a low profile, but because of her injuries, many imperial physicians came to treat her as if she was a great enemy. The crowd saw that she had changed out of the ordinary in an instant, so the vicinity of her residence was exceptionally quiet.

The room was not big. On the bed by the window, she was sleeping. Apart from this, there was only a set of small square chairs and a make-up stand. All the furnishings were of a light wood color, plain and elegant. The window was half-open, and the first Begonia flower was gently swaying in the wind outside. From his point of view, it was the only bright color in this space.

He had wanted to take a look and leave, but somehow, after entering the room, he hesitated for a moment and decided to sit down and wait for her to wake up.

He didn't try to get close to her, but he could almost hear her breathing, mixed with the faint sound of the wind, making him feel a little uncomfortable. This was a wondrous feeling that caused him to be extremely unfamiliar with it. For a moment, he was unable to sit still. Remembering the calm dignity of a man who ought to be king, he sat for a moment, then rose again and paced the room.

But there was nothing to see in the house. There were no decorations, no objects from his daughter's house, and even the makeup table was empty. In front of the bright makeup mirror, he saw only a wooden box that was an inch square. Nothing else. He always wanted to do something, so he casually opened the wooden box.

It was not rouge powder as he had expected, but a half box of ink-black paste. This wasn't an injury medicine, because he had asked about all the medicines she had used in the past few days. He picked a spot on his hand and wiped it away. It was colorless, but the skin he touched was slightly burning.

"This is a paste made from the Bluegrass of the Mi Clan. It's specially used to guard against insects and snakes in wetlands." She looked at his hand and said, "Although it feels very uncomfortable on your body, if you don't use your clean hands to wipe it away, you will always feel a burning sensation. However, the mosquitoes and snakes will always keep away from you."

He looked back. She had somehow sat up, her silver hair loose and tinted gold by the sunlight that shone into the room. Her face was against the light and her expression could not be seen.

Qiu Ye Jing was not a wetland. She had been here for a few months already, so she wouldn't need this thing. And it was not only the only box on her dresser, but she explained it to him in detail.

He closed the box and said, "Excuse me. It's a little painful. "

She did not say a word, and went down to the ground. She grabbed his hand, rubbed his palm with her other hand, and said, "It doesn't hurt anymore, does it? The juice of the Bluegrass couldn't even be washed away by water. Only by having clean, clean skin would one be able to wipe away this burning sensation. "

The unease in his heart grew stronger. However, the burning pain in his palm had disappeared. Her fingertips were cold. As if naturally, he took her hand. She started and struggled slightly, but his grip tightened, as if he were trying to pass the warmth of his palm to her.

She stopped moving and let him hold her hand, then quietly laughed. She raised her eyes to look at him. There was no shyness, no fear, and not even the usual probing look. She only "looked at him." Her pure eyes were as bright as crystals, and he could see his own reflection in them.

She looked almost well. Her face was still pale, but her lips had turned a rosy red. She was very close to him, as if she were within reach. On the spur of the moment, he lifted his other hand and placed it on her cheek. The skin on her face was hot, but her hands were still warm.

"So it turns out that a person can burn passionately, or distance himself from a person to an ice-cold person." In that instant, he experienced a feeling like this.

His palm caressed her face. Her clear and bright eyes gradually darkened, finally revealing a trace of grief. His fingers brushed her earlobes, and she naturally lowered her head and avoided them.

"Xue Yin Shu, have you ever thought about what would happen if one day, you no longer exist in this world?"

This slightly cold voice suppressed Xue Yin Shu's burning emotions. He realized that he had lost his composure, but he was not embarrassed.

He finally let go of her hand, thought, and said: "If I'm not here, the Xue Clan will be in chaos for a while, and the Jiuzhou will also be in chaos for a while. But if my father would like to go back to the court, it would not be so terrible. "

"That's not what I'm asking." Tang Zi Qi sighed, "Forget about others, let's talk about yourself. What are you thinking about the most?"

The first thing that came to Xue Yin Shu's mind was the Central Region and Yuezhou that hadn't resolved the issue with him. However, he immediately felt that if he answered this question, he would definitely be mocked to death by the person in front of him. Then what about the people he was worried about? After his mother died, there didn't seem to be anyone else he wanted to protect with all his might. Even though Bi Wen Xuan made him yearn for him, he was the same as him, he carried the burden of too many people's sorrows and joys, and had responsibilities that he himself found hard to avoid.

Then, was the person in front of him counted?

Xue Yin Shu was still thinking, when Tang Zi Qi said: "I have a lot of people that I miss. "For example, our Teacher Tang, your sister Ye, brother Jane, and …"

"If that's the case, then you have to protect yourself even more, even if it's for their sake."

"Yes." Tang Zi Qi nodded and smiled, "I want to protect them. I believe that you will also protect them. After all, everyone is a citizen of the Jiuzhou. "

"I will." When Xue Yin Shu said this, he felt relaxed. Yes, maybe he didn't have to protect everyone wholeheartedly, but he should protect everyone in this world. If he did better, they might be happier. That was why he had been working so hard for it.

"Yes." I hope that in the future, we will be able to do as we have said today and not forget. " She listened to him, her voice light and hopeful. For some reason, he once again felt endless sadness.

He didn't want to talk about this anymore, so he changed the topic and laughed: "Do you know what the thing that Ba Qi Lu has brought is?"

Tang Zi Qi thought for a while: "You mean the ferro-fusiform? At that time, it seemed to be made of metal. As for what was so mysterious about it … Shouldn't you tell me? "

Xue Yin Shu replied, "I don't know either. He said he wanted a foundry, and he had been working in it day and night for days. I can't help it, I've heard that he used that piece of material to make something that looks like a suit of armor. "

"But we, Yu Ren, have never worn armor." Tang Zi Qi said in shock, "Is it not for us? For him to do this, he should be giving it to the humans, right? "

Feather's advantage in battle was her agility and agility, not to mention when flying, she would even be cumbersome in terms of light cloth armor. Iron armor was practically worthless in the Feather.

"Who knows? When he's done, let's see what he says. "

"True." Tang Zi Qi nodded his head, "Anyway, He Luo has some strange things that he has to guess from the beginning, it would be a waste of time."

"Speaking of which, it will be the Wind Soaring Codex in a few days," Xue Yin Shu said, "Can you fly by then?"

The Wind Soaring Codex was every single day that Yu Ren paid the most attention to. Especially someone as old as Tang Zi Qi, if he was delayed due to injuries, he would definitely regret for an entire year. Tang Zi Qi laughed, and mischievously said: "Actually I'm completely healed, how could I be that serious."

"In that case, come and fly with me that day." He issued a solemn invitation.

She was stunned, as if hesitating for a moment, then she smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I can't go."

Xue Yin Shu did not expect her to refuse. The invitations between Yu Ren and the others to fly together on the day of the Wind Soaring Codex often carried a deep relationship with them. But the one who accompanied him to flight, was definitely the outstanding Yu Ren who had come from a large clan. His original plan was to arrange for her and the Tang Clan to participate in the biggest take-off ceremony in the Silver Sky Tower. But she refused, and seemed to give no explanation.

Since that was the case, his pride wouldn't let him continue pursuing the matter. He looked at her deeply. "If you change your mind, you can tell me."

She whispered, "Thanks."

When he left, his chest was churning with excitement. At the same time, the disappointment was like a shadow that covered his heart like a thin veil, causing him to feel slightly sad. He did not like this kind of worry over his personal gains and losses. He had to admit that he had never experienced such sour happiness in his life that was as smooth as a pool of still water.

After Xue Yin Shu left, Tang Zi Qi opened the medicine box of the Mimi Orchid Grass for a while before closing it again. She looked up at herself in the mirror and gave a self-deprecating laugh.

"That Your Highness, has he left?" Ye Hua Shi returned.

Tang Zi Qi turned around, and saw that she was holding a plate of green egg-sized fruits in her hands, and cheered out loud: "Ah, drawing big sis is the best, I know I like Green Rock Fruit."

She grabbed a Green Rock Fruit and took a bite. Ye Hua Shi slapped her: "It's for you to eat, what's the rush? This fruit is cold, you can't eat too much. I secretly brought it to you from the royal physician! "

Tang Zi Qi did not say anything and sat down to eat happily. Ye Hua Shi sat down opposite to her and nudged his elbow as he looked at her. Seeing her so carefree, Ye Hua Shi seemed to be worried about something. "A Qi, what are you going to do after you say it?"

"What do we do?" Tang Zi Qi chewed a lot, as if he didn't understand what she was saying.

"Even a fool would be able to see the feelings that our Your Highness holds towards you, right?" Ye Hua Shi moved closer to her and looked at her.

Tang Zi Qi slowly put down the fruit in his hands and laughed: "Big sister Ji, a smart person can see what others are thinking, but the smartest person will not say it."

Ye Hua Shi scoffed slightly disdainfully, "I don't want to be like you guys who keep riddling things up, so I'm only asking you, what are your thoughts?"

"Is that so..." Tang Zi Qi lowered his head and thought, "I'm always doing things that are the opposite of what I want to do, so what's so important about my intentions?"

"But this is different, A Qi." Ye Hua Shi grabbed her arm tightly, and said seriously, "Whether you like someone or not, it's really only related to your own heart."

"I understand. I've always wanted to protect my own heart, but I don't know if I can do it. "

Ye Hua Shi sighed: "Actually, I shouldn't have asked you. He had blocked that arrow for him. What else was there to say? I think that if the person in danger was not Jian Xi Zhu, it would be impossible for me to do the same. "

Jian Xi Zhu was Ye Hua Shi's husband, and also one of the same kind. When she mentioned him, Tang Zi Qi asked: "Where is Big Brother Jian now? There should also be a mission on hand. "

"Yes, he went to the retrograde migratory sea." Ye Hua Shi's eyes suddenly became serious, "A Qi, there's something I haven't told you yet. Maybe even Master Tang doesn't know. "

"Hmm?"

"Big Brother Jane and I went to ask the Your Majesty to allow us to leave the Luna Sightseeing Pavilion."

"How is this possible?" Tang Zi Qi cried out.

"Listen to me." Ye Hua Shi said seriously, "Even though Yue Xiao Zhe's identity is something that cannot be abandoned. However, we also have the right to live a normal life, as long as we don't have to do things that risk our lives, I will be satisfied. "

Tang Zi Qi was silent for a moment: "Then what did Your Majesty say?"

"Your Majesty agreed." Her answer was out of Tang Zi Qi's expectations, "But he gave us separate missions, and he promised that as long as we completed them, we would be free."

"He wants you to find the Secret Dragon Curse?"

"Yes." Big brother Jane is looking for something more difficult, but we have to do these two jobs. "Because …"

Unexpectedly, a bashful expression appeared on Ye Hua Shi's usually straightforward face. Tang Zi Qi looked at her, a little confused. She reached out her hand, grabbed Tang Zi Qi's hand and placed it on her stomach, her smile filled with sweetness.

Tang Zi Qi finally understood and said in surprise, "Big sister Shuang Qi, you're happy now?" She became a little anxious, "Then why are you still working so hard to do so many dangerous things?"

"I'm fine." Ye Hua Shi comforted her and smiled, "A Qi, for the sake of the future of our family, Xi Zhu and I must not fail."

Tang Zi Qi held her hand and nodded.

Actually, she wasn't surprised that the two of them would make such a choice. All these years, Jian Xi Zhu was always filled with dissatisfaction towards the willfulness of the Feather Emperor. When he first entered the Luna Sightseeing Pavilion, he initially had the dream of building a new country for them, but in the end, he became discouraged. It was not so much for the child as for the child that he made up his mind.

But she was still very worried about them. In the past thirty years, not a single Yue Xiao Zhe had escaped from the Luna Sightseeing Pavilion — while they were still alive. However, looking at Ye Hua Shi's blissful smile, she did not say anything, and could not bear to say it.
