Chapter 71
Zhuo Ran played with the key ring on his hand, and the sound of "ding bell" reached the ears of the officials. They quickly calculated the accounts with their abacus, looking at Zhuo Ran's expression from time to time.

Although she is a girl, she is different from the female officials they have seen. Zhuo Ran will not flatter or beg for help. She is very good at pretending to be powerful, but it is really scary.

Jiang Rulan took a closer look at the account books, and found that the income of the Yan Family Embroidery Workshop was not small. He made a little calculation, and the account went away, but it would not have any impact on the place for the time being, and Zhuo Ran's proposal to borrow money from Luzhou was probably for In order to reassure the Yan family, the relationship between Luzhou and Gaodu can be continued, and a relationship can also be formed to break the previous deadlock.It has to be said that Zhuo Ran is really smart, Jiang Rulan gave him an appreciative look.

Zhuo Ran didn't touch her thumb, and she reluctantly got up after the accounts were settled, and coughed for a while, Jiang Rulan hurriedly handed Zhuo Ran a cup of tea, and said softly: "Si Ye is tired, go back first, I'll go directly to the palace to meet you The officials."

Zhuo Ran wanted to go to Zuixueting to look for Yong Niang, she raised her hand in salute, and said, "Then I will trouble Master Jiang, I will go to Master Jiang later."

The raindrops were much smaller, and now it was like a drizzle in spring, soft and comfortable.Thousands of layers of black clouds were forcibly torn open, revealing a long-lost golden color, which illuminated the sky beautifully, but it still did not spill into Gaodu.

Zhuo Ran avoided people and came to Yong Niang's temporary residence in the front yard.Kang Sheng'an saw Zhuo Ran, smiled and waved to her, Zhuo Ran pursed his lips and walked over.

"Ma'am." Zhuo Ran looked at the pale Yong Niang, she lowered her head and took out the well-preserved rabbit sachet from her bosom.

Yong Niang smiled and said, "Sheng An, come to Niang to kiss."

Kang Sheng'an squatted beside Yong Niang, he raised his eyes to look at Yong Niang, her eyes were slightly red, Kang Sheng'an thought that Yong Niang's old illness had relapsed, so he hurriedly said: "Mom, what's wrong with you crying? Sheng An will get you medicine."

Yong Niang shook her head, touched the top of his hair, and said softly: "It's nothing. Sheng An, you go out and close the door first, I have something to tell Si Ye."

Kang Shengan obediently nodded in her arms, saluted Zhuo Ran, then closed the door and went out.

Yong Niang wiped off the tears, she looked at Zhuo Ran with tears in her eyes, and said with difficulty, "Lord Si Ye, I'm ready... After the matter is completed, I hope Lord Si Ye will take good care of Sheng'an and don't let him suffer any harm. Bully."

Zhuo Ran slowly squatted down, she smiled softly, and said, "Madam doesn't have to be so negative, as long as there are no accidents, Madam can still live."

"But..." Yong Niang shook her head, she took Zhuo Ran's hand tremblingly, and said, "Si Ye... No matter what, I just want Sheng'an to be fine, and that's enough."

Zhuo Ran straightened up and turned around, squeezed the rabbit sachet into shape, but she didn't show any expression on her face, she said slowly: "I promise you."

"Greetings, Master Zuoxiang..."

Kang Sheng'an knelt down and saluted, both Zhuo Ran and Yong Niang were taken aback for a moment, Zhuo Ran looked back at Yong Niang, she frowned slightly, opened the door decisively, and raised her hand towards Yan Yingzhen.

Yan Yingzhen helped Kang Shengan up, and said to Zhuo Ran, "Si Ye is here too."

"Kang Sheng'an is a student of the Imperial College, and as a secretary, he should come and see it." Zhuo Ran raised his lips and smiled, and said, "Left Chancellor should have something to say to his wife. I will send Sheng An to the Imperial College first. Dr. Lee is looking for him."

Yan Yingzhen nodded and said, "Please trouble Siye."

Zhuo Ran took Kang Sheng'an's hand and walked towards the Guozijian without looking back.

Yan Yingzhen walked in hesitantly, and he stood by the door, looking deeply at Yongniang, but really couldn't say a word.Yan Yingzhen betrayed her, and he did not take any action to get her back in the future, so it is not an exaggeration to say that he is disheartened.

Yong Niang pinched the handkerchief, she had been coughing up blood since a few days ago, she didn't dare to let Kang Shengan know.Now it was Yan Yingzhen, she also held the handkerchief and did not move, the two of them remained frozen like this, the candlelight melted the red tears until Yong Niang couldn't bear it anymore, and lay down beside the bed, coughing.

"Yong Niang..." Yan Yingzhen hurried forward to calm her down, and said, "But I'm sick, have you taken any medicine?"

Yong Niang pulled his hand away, straightened her body and moved back, she said harshly: "Master Zuo Xiang is self-respecting, poor woman is ashamed of herself, how dare you trouble Zuo Xiang...cough..."

"Yong Niang..." Yan Yingzhen grabbed her shoulders and said, "It's been so many years, haven't you calmed down yet? Haven't you forgiven me?"

"That day I was kicked out of the mansion with a letter of divorce," Yong Niang raised her eyes, her emotions became more and more agitated, and said, "There is no relationship between us, Prime Minister Zuo... Now that you are a high-ranking official with a rich salary and both children and daughters, I am I don't want to have anything to do with you, but why do you let those people disturb my life? Why..."

"Ah Xuan and Yan Shu have been paying attention to Lianhua Lane, I don't know at all..." Yan Yingzhen said: "I just...just found out."

Yong Niang pushed him, and she said tearfully: "Master Zuo! I beg you, please let me go, I have already started the Yan family's business, don't come again... you go, let's treat each other as different know, okay?"

Yan Yingzhen grabbed her hand and said calmly: "Listen to me, Yong Niang, listen to me carefully..."

"Hmph," Yong Niang leaned back, she looked at him with a ridiculous face, and said, "Okay, tell me, I'll listen to you..."

In front was the Imperial College, Zhuo Ran paused for a while, then continued walking forward.

"Lord Si Ye." Kang Sheng'an shook Zhuo Ran's hand, he looked up at Zhuo Ran, and said, "Does Prime Minister Zuo know my mother? Why do I think they are familiar?"

Zhuo Ran squeezed his hand tightly, she raised her eyes to look at the sky, the rain stopped now, bursts of golden light poured down, Zhuo Ran looked up, and said: "It's just an old friend from the past, we haven't seen each other for many years. Just reminiscing about the old days."

Kang Sheng'an felt that her hands were cold, and he was uncomfortable being held, so he looked at Zhuo Ran and said, "Si Ye, will my mother recover from her illness? She always looks very tired."

"It will be fine..." Zhuo Ran's voice gradually became weaker, she licked the corners of her lips, the clothes on her body were wet and then dry and wet, and she didn't have time to rest after a day, she really didn't have the strength to speak at the moment .

Kang Sheng'an grabbed Zhuo Ran's clothes and said softly, "Si Ye, are you sick? Your face is so red."

Zhuo Ran shook his head, and was about to speak, when he saw Li Xunchuan running over on a bamboo stone, he shattered the last trace of tranquility in the sky, and the golden light was brought to the top of Zhuo Ran's head by him, Zhuo Ran looked up, Li Xunchuan leaned over Holding Zhuo Ran's waist, he brought him up.

"Master Si Ye!" Kang Sheng'an took a few steps back.

"Alas..." Zhuo Ran's eyes suddenly went dark, and after a whirlwind, he leaned firmly on Li Xunchuan's strong chest.

"Chi Yue!" Zhuo Ran reached out and grabbed Li Yanchuan's wrist, Li Yanchuan turned his horse's head, looked back, and said loudly: "Go back to the Imperial Prison!"

Kang Shengan sighed, turned around and entered the Imperial College.

Zhushi rushed all the way to the Lianyue school grounds. It was approaching dusk, and there were not many people on the street, but at this moment the air was filled with the damp smell of rain. Her headache was about to split, and she didn't know how to ride a horse, so she kept shrinking into Li Xunchuan's arms.

"I have to take you to sweat and drench for a day, so you can't get sick again." Li Yuchuan whispered in her ear.

Zhuo Ran slowly opened her eyes, she looked down and saw Li Yuchuan's palm was wrapped in a white cloth with blood on it, Zhuo Ran touched his hand and raised her head: "Are you injured?"

Li Xunchuan's chin rubbed against Zhuo Ran's forehead, and there were beads of sweat hanging there. Li Xunchuan had no time to answer her, and bowed his head to kiss Zhuo Ran amid the sound of the wind whistling by his ears.

He held the rein with one hand, and tightly grasped Zhuo Ran's waist with the other, holding her in his arms without showing mercy.Zhuo Ran frowned, she fumbled for Li Xunchuan's robe, and grabbed it tightly.Li Xunchuan hugged her even tighter, and Zhushi ran after the setting sun, seeing the teardrops falling from the corners of Zhuo Ran's eyes along the way.

Li Xunchuan let go of Zhuo Ran slightly, he was panting, Zhuo Ran tremblingly said: "Turn...Turn..."

Li Xunchuan took her waist and turned around slightly, and hugged Zhuo Ran in his arms. His arms were very warm. Zhuo Ran also hugged him, and buried his head on Li Xunchuan's shoulder.After being blown by the wind for a long time, Zhuo Ran felt so uncomfortable that she was about to vomit. She tightly gripped the clothes on Li Yanchuan's back, and Li Yanchuan said in a warm voice, "Hold me tightly if you are afraid, and run around again."

Zhuo Ran spoke intermittently, but Li Yunchuan didn't hear clearly, as if he wanted to stop.

As soon as Li Xunchuan tightened the reins, he felt his back loosen, and Zhuo Ran lost consciousness while leaning against his arms.Li Xunchuan supported her back and called out, "Xiaqiu?"

Zhushi immediately turned the direction, Li Xunchuan wrapped the person in his cloak, and ran all the way back to the governor's mansion.Wu Song seemed to have just come back, and when he saw Li Yuchuan, he shouted: "Master, I didn't see Si Ye..."

Li Xunchuan hugged him, Xiyu and Gu Zhao came out of the mansion, seeing Zhuo Ran who had passed out was startled, Li Xunchuan frowned, and said, "Come to the doctor!"

"Yes!" Xi Yu pulled Wu Song and ran out together.

Gu Zhao led Zhushi down, urged the kitchen to boil hot water, and finally arrived at Li Xunchuan's side.Zhuo Ran's whole body was burnt and confused, his face was flushed abnormally, Li Xunchuan sighed a long time.

"Master..." Gu Zhao came in with hot water, looked at Li Xunchuan with a worried expression on his face, and said, "What's wrong with Si Ye?"

Li Xunchuan held her hand and said, "I thought she was just afraid of riding a horse, but I didn't expect her to be ill a long time ago. Fortunately, the Imperial College is on vacation these days, otherwise she would have to be sick..."

"Master, the doctor is here." Xi Yu called out from outside, and Li Yanchuan said, "Come in."

The doctor took a look at Zhuo Ran, then looked at Li Yuchuan, and said: "Go back to the governor, Mr. Si Ye has been exposed to the rain for too long to get hot. The old man prescribed some medicines. After Mr. Si Ye took it, he will be fine."

Li Xunchuan frowned and said, "There's more. She gets hot every now and then, so it can't be like this every time."

"This..." The doctor sighed and said, "Master Si Ye's body is too weak, and he didn't take care of it carefully afterwards, so it's in good condition. If it's more serious, I'm afraid he won't live long..."

Li Xunchuan stared at him, the doctor swallowed his words, and only listened to Li Xunchuan's order to decoct the medicine, and hurried away.
