box of hearts

Chapter 103
The person surnamed Qian bowed his hands to Cao Wanger and the others again, "Hey, it was a misunderstanding, don't take it to heart, brothers, let's have a drink together later..." With countless good words in his mouth, he turned those subordinates Cursing, she tucked her tail and walked away.

After walking for a while, the twittering started: "Brother Qian, what's the matter?" "Yeah, Brother Qian, what's the background of that girl?" Shame on you, what's the 'No. [-] beauty in the capital', what's the 'No. [-] flower list', it's just enough." "Are you fucking stupid! Duan Qingtian is also someone we can meet? I know this little bitch, it's Duan Qingtian "Young girl." "Girl? Seeing that she is dressed more stylishly than the rich lady, she is actually a girl?" "Oh, what are you all arguing about, Brother Qian, what kind of treasure is she holding in her hand?" ""Yes, is it true that there are some distinguished guests? "...

"Don't ask!" Qian Gewei yelled, sighed in frustration, and said to himself, "Damn, the ancestor of the emperor is really in there, right? That's so evil, is this the one who The sour poet said, 'If you die under the peony flower, you can be a ghost and have fun'?"

From far away, Mu Yun watched the group of strong soldiers disappear at the entrance of the alley, and just now said a few words of comfort to Cao Wanger, and then turned forward.Second Sister Duan and the others still stayed where they were, and the guards did not say a word, but Zhou Dun said in a daze, with a helpless expression on his face, "Why don't we understand the truth in Da Niang's words? It's just that only slaves listen to the master. How can there be a master who listens to a slave? When we go to persuade, we can only ask for scolding. That’s all, it’s what the aunt said, good or bad depends on fate. Yo, Miss Mu Yun is back, how is it going, is it going well?”

"Thank you, Eunuch Zhou," Mu Yun saluted and handed back the tooth card to Zhou Dun, "It went well, the officials just walked away obediently after seeing it, don't worry. Mom, you are here, I will go back to take care of you. "

"Let's go back too." Zhou Dun fastened his waist badge and nodded to Second Sister Duan, "Thank you, Ma'am, for the good tea."

The three of them returned to Qingtian's room together, Zhou and He were standing outside the main room, Mu Yun entered the room alone, held his breath and listened first, and then went forward to report through the curtain: "My lord, it's all right."

There was an "hmm" inside, and there was no other sound.

Mu Yun squatted down in front of the small stove again and opened the medicine pot to take a look, a gust of boiling white mist came out.

8.
Inside the embroidered curtain is also misty smoke, with a slightly bitter herbal fragrance lingering around the nose, like a period of unavoidable and unwavering melancholy.

Qi She was always smiling, and had already peeled an apple neatly, and put them in a silver bowl piece by piece.This bowl was given to Qingtian by him in the past. It has a cloud pattern and the six-character mantra in Sanskrit is engraved on the bottom of the bowl.

Qingtian smiled and pointed to a small lotus table in front of the bed, "Just put it here."

Qi She put the bowl on the table, stood up and sat upright, grabbed the small foreign towel on the table and wiped his hands, "Eat it, Apple Apple, it will bear fruit safely."

Qingtian held the bowl in her hand, looked down at the handful of crystal-clear fruit in the bowl, squeezed a piece into her mouth, "This apple is so sweet!" She lowered her eyes with a smile, as gentle as she said, "It's only three years old. Before the Lord came, I sat here and read the scriptures while thinking—thinking about my whole life: I was betrayed by my biological mother in my ignorance, and my youth was entrusted to betray me all my life. Even I betrayed myself under this loquat door. I sold myself to this, tomorrow to that, and the money I sold myself was enough to build a palace, but I will always be the most humble pariah. The only carefree and innocent days are the days when I was a child in my hometown, but those I can’t remember the days at all. This kind of life ended like this, I should be wishing for it, but in my heart, I couldn’t bear it—I couldn’t bear to be alone, thinking that if I could see this person again at this time, my dilapidated life would be considered complete , It’s just ridiculous that it’s just my own wishful thinking. I didn’t know that I saw the third master when I raised my eyes. Safety is certainly a blessing, but in a dangerous place, it is a greater blessing to have a confidant who does not avoid evil and is by your side. Hundreds of millions, and only one or two will be able to enjoy this reward. I never thought that a person like me would have such a blessing in this life. This is all thanks to the gift of the third master, if—" She hesitated for a while, and did not continue , only smiled happily, "Then I will only repay my kindness in the next life."

Under the light smoke and candlelight, Qing Tian stared at each other, and the blush of blood surged on his plain face. It was the last tea flower in the golden wind, pure and beautiful.At this moment, this flower took root in Qi She's chest forever, stabbing him so sweetly.He was full of words to tell her, but he didn't dare to say a word of these words, as long as a word, he would burst into tears.And he knows how to deal with such a moment too well, he smiled, almost foolishly, "I probably haven't told you before, I think there are two most shameless words in this world, one is 'I invite you to dinner another day' , and another sentence is 'repay your kindness in the next life', you are obviously reneging on your debt. You must repay your kindness in this life."

Qingtian smiled and put another piece of apple into his mouth, savoring his tortuous thoughts carefully.Then she raised her head and bit her cheeks lightly, "Please third master go out and help me see if the real soup is ready?"

Qi She left for just half an hour, and when he came back, he had a small medicine cup in his hand.He stood empty for a while, then put the cup on the small table in front of Qingtian's bed, and sat down in its original position.

Between the two of them, there was a bowl of thick black soup lying right now, it was a gamble of ghosts in the world.

For a moment, Qi She's eyes seemed to turn red from gambling, but Qing Tian himself smiled until his eyes turned black, and silently took the medicine cup.She took a deep sip first, then spit out half of it, and locked her teeth and brow together, "Bitter, it's bitter! Add honey."

Qi She smiled, "How can anyone add honey to medicine?"

Qingtian had put the medicine cup back on the table, and said with a playful smile, "I am not afraid of heaven and earth, not even the emperor and uncle and the regent, but I am afraid of suffering alone, and I always have to mix two spoonfuls of honey with meds. Here, there .”

She was almost coquettish like this, Qi She's heart was filled with a thousand feelings, but she didn't say anything anymore, she just found a sauce-yellow honey pot from the bottom drawer of the small table, added some honey to the medicine, and slowly Stir a few times.Then he threw away the ladle in his hand, and suddenly lowered his head to taste it.

"Third Lord!!" A hand flew over and grabbed the whole medicine cup, only to see Qing Tian throwing half of his body out of the bed, terrified, "Third Lord, you forgot, you have to drink this medicine Only then did I know if I was suffering from a fever or an epidemic! Originally, I didn’t want you to stay here, but you refused to listen to persuasion, and now you’re so reckless—” Because she was panting heavily, she hurriedly pulled out the edge of her skirt Covering his mouth and nose with the handkerchief, he shrank back to even out his breath and said, "I've only been exposed to this medicine before, so don't touch it, it's going to kill you, don't you want to die?!"

Qi She was still a little fascinated, nodded and smiled, returned the bowl to Qingtian, stood up and walked to the basin in the corner of the room, took the remaining water in the basin to wash off the medicinal juice splashed on his wrists.When he returned to the bedside, Qingtian had already drank the medicinal soup, he held the bowl empty in one hand, put the other hand to his lips, and mixed the honey, still frowning bitterly.

It was as if there was an absolute stillness for a moment, so that Qi She could see everything about the woman in front of her without any mistakes: the wrinkles between her brows, the blue eye bags, the sunken cheeks, and the dry skin Lips—so haggard that one couldn't believe she had been so radiant.Just like when she was so glamorous, people couldn't believe that she was just a little girl with a disheveled face who was dragged into the flower street and willow alley ignorantly.The long years and short youth gave this little girl only all kinds of ugliness in the world, but they squeezed, exploited, and plundered every drop of youthful and beautiful flesh and blood that was born from her, but she still grew upright, upright, flesh and blood, A pair of eyes are smiling and kind, soft and strong, so strong that he begs for two spoonfuls of honey in such a coquettish voice, as if he has always been a spoiled darling of fate who can't even eat a bowl of bitter medicine. She has clearly swallowed all the pain in this world without blinking an eye, and is facing the pain of death face to face.

Qi She couldn't imagine where this huge power came from, since from the first day, she stood in the wilderness of the nightmare and was abandoned over and over again by her mother who couldn't wait, she shed tears in horror and watched the night go dark.Always be alone.It felt awful, and he knew it, because he had his own wilderness to stand on.

With the birth and death of a thought, ten years of humiliation, strategy and ambition have all disappeared like a fleeting shadow.Since I was born in a world where love is evil and everyone suffers, as long as I think about it, I can always go through the fire and ice cave, and under Ye Xiao's one-eyed gaze, I will find a little girl with bare hands, and calm down her long-standing fear and pain. Wait, tell her: From now on, I will no longer be alone.

Everything started to flow again, Qi She saw Qing Tian smiled at him, and wiped away the drug marks on the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand.

The first thing Qingtian felt was his hand, his hand came to take the medicine cup in her hand, the next moment her tears fell down by herself, she was sobbing frantically, but she couldn't break free that her lips and tongue, which were still stained with the smell of medicine, had been crushed by another person. The secondary lips and tongue grasped irresistibly, as firmly as one hand grasping the other.In Qi She's overwhelming kiss, she finally closed her eyes in submission.

The small porcelain bowls that tried the real soup slipped from their hands and shattered on the ground, proudly breaking a gambling cup that was decided by fate.
