"I've already sent the information regarding the marquis's residence to Feng Qiong, and I've also warned her about the matter you requested." A young man dressed in grey walked out from behind a bookshelf and stopped five steps away from Tears of Blood.

Tears of Blood looked up at him. "When did you arrive?"

Gongzi continued, "I only came over after seeing you leave. You won't notice."

Tears of blood said, "That's good," and asked again: "Is Zhong Li here? What did she say? "

"She's not in the Main Pavilion. She probably went to some branch Xuan area to organize the information, right? I left a letter telling her to try to reach Mo to stop coughing, and she'll answer it when she sees it. "

Tears of Blood nodded her head, indicating that she understood. She put the list to the side and leaned back comfortably, "It just so happens that I can tell you about the Nether Valley's plans. What do you think? "

"Shouldn't you discuss this with Xuanyuan?"

Tears of Blood said, "Xuanyuan Yin is in charge of the construction of the organs. Drifting Water is in charge of the distribution of the missions of the people in the valley as well as the arrangements for the food and shelter of the newly joined people. "Other than being in charge of matters outside the valley, you will also be in charge of investigating the detailed information of these people with me. It will be enough for you to plan their training and allocation."

Gongzi frowned, but didn't say anything.

Tears of Blood asked, "What? "You don't want to?"

Gong Wei shook his head, "I completely obey my orders regarding this matter. I don't have any other thoughts. But... As Young Master's subordinate, I feel that I am betraying you while you are hiding things that are bad for Young Master. "

"Betrayal?" Tears looked up with interest, "Then what do you plan to do? Or should he continue to hide it? Do you want to stop? Or tell them about it? "

"I just want to know, who is my master, and for whom should I work?"

Tears and Blood's eyes brimmed with mirth. "Tang Xiao is stupid?" Poisonous demonic poison? My father? Or is it the Young Master Qing Yi? " A soft laugh came from his nose, "In other words, what do you think is master's loyalty?"

Gongzi was silent.

Tears of Blood lightly said: "I was only helping my brother to finish what he wasn't willing to do, but had to do it without him knowing. It's more like you should not make things difficult for your master, right? "

Gong Ni clenched his fists, and then slowly loosened them, kneeling down on one knee: "This subordinate understands."

Tears of Blood said, "If you understand, then go quickly. Watch as Little Cough returns to the Puppet Palace without a hitch before coming back to see me again." There are a lot of things to do in the Dark Valley, so don't delay it too long. "

Gong Tianxiong nodded silently, "I understand." With a shake of his shoulders, the grey shadow disappeared in a flash.

Tears of blood curled up under the quilt and looked at a certain direction through the window paper. With a bitter smile, he said, "You can't have both the fish and the bear's paw …" Since the two of them were in trouble, it was inevitable that they would sacrifice themselves. Zhao Qingyan, I can only let you suffer for now. "

Mu Qing Han's left cheek was covered in a thick medicinal paste, and the burns on her body were also carefully bandaged. An incense of tranquility burned in the incense burner at the corner of the room, but Mu Qinghan's sleep was not stable.

Zhao Qingyan sat on the edge of the bed and took her pulse. She tilted her head and looked at the doctor behind her. "Have you given her all the pills I've prescribed?"

The doctor nodded and praised, "Young Master's medical skills are indeed outstanding. The condition of this young lady is much better than yesterday. "It's just that I can't feed him, otherwise the situation would have been better."

Pyle muttered, "Isn't it because you quacks misdiagnosed?"

"Pei'er, be careful." Zhao Qingyan reprimanded her softly. Looking at Mu Qinghan's pale face on the bed, she sighed and said, "You can leave. I'll stay here to check on her condition."

The doctor knew that he was talking to him, so he hurriedly replied and left, not forgetting to cover the door behind him.

Looking at the worried expression of the girl in front of him, Zhao Qingyan couldn't help but extend his hand to wipe the hair in front of her forehead. Then, he used the back of his hand to smooth the worry on her face. Zhao Qingyan quietly looked at her beautiful, burned face. Her eyes were clear, but her lips, which had been tensed up for days, were slightly loosened. He did not say anything, nor did he make any movements. He just tidied up the girl's slightly knitted eyebrows over and over again, using this as an opportunity to ease the sorrow and worry in their hearts.

Time slowly passed. A very, very long time had passed.

"Ziyu, don't go." The woman's murmur broke the silence, but everyone's expression changed slightly.

Pei'er said, "Young Master, she …"

"I heard you." Zhao Qingyan's face turned slightly pale. She interrupted Pei'er and stood up to leave.

"Ziyu, don't go. I'm afraid, don't go!" The woman on the bed seemed to be able to feel that the person was about to leave. She fiercely shouted out. Her voice was somewhat sorrowful as tears leaked out from the corners of her eyes. Her face was full of fear as she grabbed the sleeve by her side.

Zhao Qingyan's sleeve was grabbed. She stopped and turned around to look at her sleeve that had been grabbed. She then pulled it out with a little bit of force.

"Father, mother, Zi Yu, don't leave me behind …" Mu Qing Han spat out another sentence that was unclear, with a tone of unease and sadness, like a child's voice.

Zhao Qingyan's actions came to a sudden stop. Her pale lips unconsciously pursed up and the coldness between her brows loosened up a little. After hesitating for a long time, he still gently held onto the trembling hand that was holding onto him, and said in a low voice: "I'm not going, I'll accompany you. Rest in peace." Icy hands wrapped around the colder hands, but they shook.

"Young Master!" Hearing his voice, both Pyle and Ran Hao's expressions changed drastically. The voice that Zhao Qingyan spoke with was not his own voice at all! Pyle couldn't tell whose voice it was, but Ran Hao knew it was Winlun's.

Zhao Qingyan made a silent gesture towards them, then gently pulled out his sleeve from Mu Qing Han's fingertip. He then held her hand and sat back down, using his other hand to wipe away the tears at the corner of Mu Qing Han's eyes.

"Zi Yu? Is that you? " Maybe it was because his consciousness was too blurry, but only after a long while did Zhao Qingyan's fingers move slightly and let out a soft sound.

Zhao Qingyan's eyes showed that he was struggling, but in the end, he comforted her with Wen Lun's gentle voice, "It's me, I'm here."

Looking at his young master slowly consoling his wife while imitating the tone of the other man, both Ran Hao and Pel couldn't help but feel a little sorry for their young master. If they wanted to stop him, they had no way to do so.

A young man in white leaned against the wall and listened to the sounds in the room for a while. He smiled and then walked away. Then, he continued to rest against the wall where he couldn't hear the conversation in the room.

"Pyle." After a long while, when Mu Qinghan had comforted and fallen asleep, Zhao Qingyan slowly stood up and instructed in a low voice, "You stay here and take care of Miss Mu. Don't tell anyone about what happened today."

Pei'er hesitated for a moment. She was unwilling, but still agreed obediently. "Yes, Young Master, you can rest assured. Pei'er understands the depths of this matter."

Zhao Qingyan stopped in front of her and placed his hand on her head. With a helpless smile, he said, "I know you are unhappy, but she is destined to be my wife. She is the crown prince's wife."

Pyle pouted, "I'm not worth it on behalf of the young master."

"Not worth it?" It was unknown if Zhao Qingyan took it in, but he just smiled and said, "Idiot, how can you say it's worth so much? The eldest daughter of the Mu Manor is my wife, so I must marry her. It doesn't matter who I like, who she likes. "In the end, it's only because of the name of the husband and wife from that lifetime."

"I don't want to see the young master unhappy."

Zhao Qingyan laughed lightly, "I am not unhappy. I am just feeling a little uncomfortable. No one forced us into this marriage. This was the result of the two of us choosing to marry each other. I'm satisfied with that, at least not by force. " He pinched her face and said half-jokingly, "You're a big girl now, you'll be able to get married in a few years. If someone likes you, just tell me. The young master has prepared a rich enough dowry for you. Find someone you love, someone who is willing to love you, you know? "It's a hundred times better to find someone who will love you than someone you love."

"At least I can choose to love someone, but someone who is willing to love me will love me," she whispered.

Zhao Qingyan did not understand and asked casually, "What did you say?"

"If I find someone I love, I believe he will love me. But what if he doesn't want to marry me? I am only a small maid, what qualifications do I have to find a suitable person? "

Zhao Qingyan was stunned and then smiled in surprise. "When did you get someone you like?"

"Not yet. I just want to... With my identity, I can only marry a servant, right? Young Master has said so much, what can I ask for? Perhaps in a few years, the Young Master will just casually give me a promise to someone I don't even know. "

Zhao Qingyan stroked her hair and said softly, "No, I definitely won't." If there is someone who admires you, tell me and I will do my best to help you. Since Pyle is so beautiful, I'm sure we'll find a good family. "

Pyle looked at him with wide eyes. "Why is the young master so weird all of a sudden? You're not going to send Pyle out to be married, are you? Young master, do you not want a pi? " He sniffed and looked pitiful.

Although Zhao Qingyan knew she was pretending, he couldn't help but comfort her, "How could that be? Although Pei'er loved to do bad things, was a little disobedient, a little stupid, and did not care about her young master a little bit … But I can't bear to throw you out. I'm not going to let you go until I find someone who won't make her feel wronged. "

Pei'er said angrily: "Young master, you are speaking nonsense! "You bullied me!"

Zhao Qingyan laughed, "What? What did I say wrong? "

Pei'er froze for a moment before pouting, "At the very least, I do care about young master!"

Zhao Qingyan laughed and joked, "Yes, yes, yes. Pei'er cares about Young Master the most, and she has never stopped caring about him. Is this alright?"

Pyle made a face. "As long as young master doesn't drive me out of the house, I'll be satisfied. "Hurry, let's go. I still need to change Miss Mu's medicine."

Zhao Qingyan nodded. She did not want to continue joking around with her and reminded her, "Close the doors and windows tightly. Don't let the wind hit her."

Pyle nodded. "Yes, I will."
