He was stunned by my question, as if he didn't expect that I would suddenly ask this question and didn't speak for a while.

I said, "You don't seem to have any symptoms of poison recently, but if the poison is cured, you will definitely tell me."

“…”

"What's going on now?"

“…”

"Also, I haven't seen Lao Yao and Empress Yin since I came here. Where have they been?"

He coughed lightly before saying, "I've sent them to the mountains."

"What are you doing?"

"Of course, the medicine is dispensed."

“Pharm?”

"It's just a medicine to suppress toxicity," he said, clapping his hands and standing up from the futon, pulling me up, patting me for me, then sitting aside, and saying, "Fortunately, you've seen me for a while, you haven't been bothered by poison again."

I glanced at him.

Indeed, I have been in Yilan Villa for a month and have been with him every day. I have not seen any discomfort in him. If I hadn't kept this in my heart, I would have almost forgotten that he was a poisoned person.

I said, "Can he detoxify?"

"Not that, he said, detoxification still requires the most critical link, but he can help me control the toxicity well."

"Then, I haven't seen you take medicine these days."

He smiled and said, "If you take medicine in front of you, you must be worried every day. I will take it once, you should worry once."

“…”

That's right.

I thought about it and asked again, "Is it really not a big deal? Even if I can control the toxicity, it cannot be controlled forever, right?"

"Of course, so, you still need to prepare an antidote."

so--

Nangong Lizhu's blood is still the most important part.

I bit my lower lip, and a sense of ruthlessness surged from my heart again. It seemed that the safe and comfortable days must end, and we should do our best to go to Wuwei.

At this moment, a servant walked in and handed a letter to Qinghan's hand, as if it was a report from outside. He took apart and took a look, raised his eyebrows slightly, and fell into deep thought.

I asked, "Whose letter?"

"It was a letter sent back by Wen Ruyu."

"What's wrong with him?"

"It's okay, he sent someone to the river to recover all the scattered remaining soldiers and brave soldiers." I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when I heard this, but Qinghan still looked at the words on the letter, pondered and murmured: "Now, there are no obstacles on the waterway from Sanjiangkou to Jiangling."

No obstacles...

This sentence seems to have a profound meaning.

Before, Jiangling's troops wanted to enter Xichuan, they would think that his troops at Sanjiangkou were obstacles, but if they wanted to say that there were obstacles to him on the river surface, it would mean that he wanted-

I turned to look at him.

"Qinghan, do you have any plans? If you have any plans, please tell me in advance."

He thought for a while, then smiled, folded the letter and put it back into the envelope, and said, "It's too early to say it now. Besides, the Chinese New Year will be coming in a while. No matter what happens, let's go through this New Year first."

Seeing his relaxed smile, I hesitated for a moment and nodded.

The two of them bask in the sun for a while, and they had all the moisture accumulated in the rain these days. They felt much more comfortable, so they got up and walked back. Today he had to go to the accounting office to clear the accounts and handle some of the following matters. After giving me a few words, he left.

I should have been in the house, but I felt that such a rare sunshine in winter should not be disappointed, so I walked slowly in the garden. After walking for a while, I felt tired, so I walked to the chair in the corridor and sat down.

While resting, a familiar figure appeared in front of him.

It was Pei Yuanhao who walked in.

This courtyard is owned by the owner and does not restrict them from entering. It’s just that it has been raining all the time these days, and everyone is not in the mood to go out. Sometimes he will come in, but he doesn’t stay for long.

Seeing me sitting on the chair in the corridor, he walked over, looked down at me for a while, and said, "Your face is much better."

"Thank you for your concern."

I thought about it and it was a long time since I came out and it was time to go back and rest. But when I was about to get up, I heard him say, "I won't do anything."

“…”

I looked up at him.

He also looked down at me and said seriously: "At this point, do you still want to avoid me like a snake or a scorpion?"

“…”

If you want to avoid him like a snake or a scorpion, you really don’t know. Just as Qinghan said that day, his attitude towards people must also be changed according to his state. At least Pei Yuanhao now makes me feel that there is no need to erect thorns all over my body, and there is no need to avoid him like a snake or a scorpion.

But beware of it, you still have to be careful.

As if seeing through my eyes, he said, "You can be wary of me, but you really don't have to avoid me."

“…”

"I won't do anything to you."

He said this, which made me feel a little pretentious. I was silent for a moment before letting go of the hand that was about to get up and holding the handrail, and said, "Your Majesty, don't be so surprised, I don't have such thoughts."

“…”

“I just don’t want to have any unnecessary misunderstandings.”

He also held the handrail and slowly sat opposite me, saying, "What you said is not the misunderstanding between us, but Liu Qinghan."

“…”

"You're afraid he misunderstood."

I didn't know what emotions were hidden under the almost indifferent expression on his face, nor did I know what true meaning was hidden in his seemingly calm words. I looked at him with a cautious look, and he looked at me, smiled faintly, and said, "Actually, there is no need."

“…”

"Liu Qinghan will not have any misunderstandings."

“…”

"And I, I have no other thoughts, but I feel that I haven't sat quietly with you like this for a long time and talked well."

“…”

I thought for a while before I slowly relaxed the tightness of my body and took a breath.

A faint smile appeared on his face.

Although he wanted to sit quietly with me and talk well, he sat quietly for the next time and had no intention of talking, and it was even more impossible for me to speak on my own initiative and sit quietly.

The winter in Xichuan is not as biting as the winter in the north, and the weather here is even more cloudy, but as soon as the sun comes out, the warm sunshine will make people feel comfortable.

After a while of sunlight, I felt more relaxed when I listened to the gentle sound of running water in the distance.

At this time, Pei Yuanhao said: "I heard that this place is the property of a relative of you?"

"My cousin."

“It’s on the sea—”

"right."

"He handed over all these family businesses to Liu Qinghan."

"Yes, on Tianquan Island, at the critical moment of life and death, Qinghan blocked a sword for him in order to protect him. He was grateful for his life-saving grace and gave him all his property before his death."

Pei Yuanhao listened and sighed, "Liu Qinghan is a very lucky person."

I looked up at him and said, "This is not luck."

"Um?"

He turned to look at me and said, "Speaking of this, it is his luck in life to be given to such a big property, but if he hadn't been able to sacrifice himself for others at the critical moment of life and death, this luck would not have fallen on him."

“…”

“After all, it’s a reward.”

“…”

"It's not the reward my cousin gave him, it's the reward of God's kindness."

"..." Pei Yuanhao was silent for a while and said, "God rewards hard work, and goodness."

I nodded: "Yes."

He said, "This place is a good place, with good scenery and folk customs. Do you like it?"

I turned around and looked around. Although it was winter, Shu was not full of dead branches and yellow leaves. Instead, some evergreen trees were filled with dark green, which also brought a hint of vitality to such winter.
