Chapter 96
Zhao Ji asked Xue Li to live in the house left for the maid in Taiji Palace. Xue Li had only one room, and the maid next to him saw that Xue Li was beautiful. Another one appeared out of nowhere. She just thought she was a beauty that Zhao Ji secretly placed in the palace for his pampering. He didn't dare to embarrass her too much. What's more, Zhao Ji is crazy, the queen is cruel, and the palace people only want to survive here, so they dare not cause any trouble. Suddenly there was an extra person in Tai Chi Hall, but they turned a blind eye and didn't hear.
There are no dead bodies or refugees everywhere in the palace, nor are there any bandits burning, killing or looting. Xue Li's house was warmed by the charcoal fire. The bed was made of soft silk satin and mattress, and light smoke curled up from the small stove, spreading a warm fragrance throughout the room.
Those days and months of struggling and worrying in the military camp seemed to have gone away from her.
Xue Li also believed that she should be happy in such a situation, but no matter how she comforted herself in her heart, she still felt depressed.
She had no news about Wei Jie. She didn't know whether Wei Jie was safe or when they would see each other again. At least in the army, she could look at him from a distance and know that everything was fine with him. She always seemed to feel that the road ahead was clear, instead of just this moment, she always felt that the front was in chaos, not knowing what to do, and heading towards Where to go.
Xue Li was thinking a lot and dressed up for Zhao Ji early in the morning, with a bit of fatigue on his face.
Zhao Ji was picking over the dossier, picked out a few hairpins with jade and pearls, and asked Xue Li to dress him up.
"Your Majesty, today seems to be a big court meeting." Xue Li reminded him kindly.
Zhao Ji said nonchalantly: "So what, I am the king of a country. I can do whatever I want. If anyone dares to say anything, I will cut off his tongue."
Xue Li consciously kept silent and had no choice but to follow Zhao Ji's wishes. She remembered that a hundred years ago, there was also a fatuous emperor, who was trying to get rid of the prince in the court. However, the prince was from the Wei family, and when the Wei family was at its peak, the fatuous emperor would abdicate the next day. A new emperor was supported.
Now that Wei Heng was not in Luoyang, the power fell into the hands of the Taiwei. If Xiahou Jing had not been the queen, Zhao Ji would have died "suddenly" due to his behavior.
It's a pity that Xue Li is not very handy. In the past, her hair was combed by maids. Later, when Wei Jie stayed by his side, Wei Jie was the one who combed her hair. Her hands became weak every time and she could only simply tie a ring. Bun. Zhao Ji saw her movements in the bronze mirror. Before she could finish combing her hair, he said displeasedly: "It's ugly, get away.
" Cum hair combing.
It was already three o'clock in the morning, and it was estimated that all the courtiers were waiting in the main hall, when Xue Li saw Zhao Ji slowly walking out of the house dressed neatly.
She glanced at Zhao Ji, who was dressed luxuriously but seemed not very sane. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart. It was really unfair. There were people who had both ability and political integrity, but they had to risk their lives to save their lives in troubled times. There were also people who were crazy, but were in high positions. , no matter how bad a bastard he is, he can still be bowed down and worshiped by everyone in the world.
After Zhao Ji left, Xue Li had nothing to do and followed several palace servants to find the "consort". He heard that the cat raised by Zhao Ji had suddenly given birth to a litter of kittens a few days ago. The man captured the wild cat and made him his consort. It's just that he did too many ridiculous things, and everyone in the palace was used to it. People everywhere didn't even look a little surprised when they saw the palace ladies in Taiji Palace looking for cats.
Xue Li felt even more strange in her heart. She had heard before that Wei Jie was Zhao Ji's companion when he was young. Even though he was incompetent after he ascended the throne, he still did not dare to do anything wrong to Wei Jie. He had always been on good terms with him and even personally Go to Wei Mansion to see Wei Jie.
Regardless of the friendship they had formed since childhood, if Zhao Ji was as mediocre and incompetent as he seemed, how could Wei Jie dare to send her to the palace as a traitor now, and why would Zhao Ji keep her by his side without saying anything.
Xue Li was suspicious, but she believed that Wei Jie acted for his own reasons. Now that she was here, she stayed with Zhao Ji peacefully, waiting to meet Wei Jie again in the future.
According to the usual practice, the court meeting takes several days, and even if there is no one in the court now, the meeting will still take place until dark. Unexpectedly, when she returned to Tai Chi Hall, she would meet Zhao Ji with a crooked bun and disheveled clothes.
He was so angry that he cursed as he walked, and went straight back to the palace without even looking at Xue Li.
What happened at the court meeting was spread among the guards, and Xue Li went to inquire about it. Only then did he find out that at the court meeting today, the courtiers were arguing endlessly about the southern crossing, accusing each other of being incompetent in educating their children and raising a group of corrupt and ignorant people. , the corpse is a scholar with a vegetarian diet. Although they were in high positions but didn't know what to do, the rebels attacked the city and still prayed to gods and worshiped Buddha, or they abandoned the city and fled with their families and gold and silver treasures.
Civil servants who usually spoke of benevolence, justice, morality, and elegant manners pointed at their colleagues in the hall and cursed, ranging from their ancestors to their wives, children, and neighbors. I don't know who could not help but hit the minister on the head with a wat board first, which caused everyone to fight and fight with fists and bite him with teeth.
The scene was chaotic for a while. The guards did not dare to offend the dignitaries, so they could only stand helpless outside the palace and did not dare to enter. Insults and cries of pain could be heard one after another. The usually dignified officials were in disheveled clothes and were beaten to death. Zhao Ji couldn't stand it anymore and pulled him, but he didn't know who it was, intentionally or unintentionally, he kicked him, causing him to be torn apart by the angry veterans. His bright and dazzling coat All torn apart. If he didn't get the guards to pull him, he would probably get punched a few more times.
The court meeting ended, and several courtiers were carried out lying down. When the palace officials went to clean up, there were a lot of blood stains and hair remaining on the floor tiles, and the wat ban hats fell on the floor.
Xue Li was stunned when he heard that Wei Zhi was among them, and the guards shook their heads and sighed politely.
"Why do we have to fight at the court meeting?" Xue Li asked while sitting in front of the flower garden. The maid trimming the flower branches whispered: "The matter of crossing to the south was brought up by the Taiwei."
Xue Li immediately understood. . The rebels suffered heavy casualties wherever they went. Those who are still unwilling to surrender to Tong Zhao are either aristocratic families who have long had a grudge against the king of Junshan, or a few courtiers who insist on integrity. Many of them came from poor families, and now that there was no one in the court, they were pushed out to take charge of matters. There are many families who were slaughtered by Zhao Tong. Everyone is in danger. They just want to preserve the family bloodline and centuries-old glory, and are unwilling to quell the rebellion and resist foreign enemies. Abandoning the displaced people, abandoning the dignity of civil servants and generals, and fleeing hastily with the king of the country, this was the expedient they thought of.
The courtiers who came from a poor family refused to cross south, but instead angrily scolded them and tore their faces apart in public. All the resentment they had accumulated in the past exploded at this moment.
There are not a few people in the royal family who fight for power and usurp the throne. The reason why Zhao Tong is despised is not only because he is not orthodox, but because he has grudges with the family, and in order to seize the throne, he will do whatever it takes to join forces with the Qi State to resist the Yi Di who have been resisting for hundreds of years. The country was destroyed, and the safety of the people at the border was abandoned.
Xue Li recalled what Zhao Yun said for no reason. She wanted to return to the Junshan Palace in Luoyang, but countless people were trying their best to defend the city so that she and the rebels would never be able to set foot in Luoyang. There was also another group of people, Already prepared to abandon the city and flee early.
Xue Li didn't have that many thoughts, she just missed Wei Jie very much. If Luoyang could be defended, she would wait for him on the city wall and be the first to greet him.
Later, Xia Houjing came to Tai Chi Hall. Xue Li remembered Zhao Ji's instructions, so he stood in the corner with his head lowered and only glanced at Xia Houjing from a distance.
She walked with her head held high, like the golden phoenix crown on top of her hair. As the eldest daughter of the Taiwei and the sister of Xia Houxin, although Xia Houjing is mediocre in appearance, she has a fierce aura between her eyebrows and her appearance is comparable to that of an ordinary noblewoman.
After Xia Houjing entered the palace, the faces of the palace officials changed. Within a moment, there was a sound of smashing. The guards looked hesitant, not knowing whether to break in and take a look. However, until the noise in the palace stopped, no one dared to ask questions, for fear of upsetting Xiahoujing and the harem. The concubines were usually hanged by her.
However, after too long, Xia Houjing opened the door and walked out. Xue Li huddled behind the guard, and suddenly heard a clear slap. She quietly raised her eyes and saw that Xia Houjing's lipstick was stained and her bun was messy. In particular, there was a clear palm print on the side of her cheek. She was looking at a palace man with disgust and said in a cold voice: "Come here, pull him down, dig out his eyes and feed them to the fish."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces turned pale, and even Xue Li lowered his head.
After the palace man was dragged away crying and wailing, Xia Houjing also left.
After she left, everyone remained silent. Xue Li calmed down and walked into the hall to see Zhao Ji. He was facing Xue Li, sitting next to the broken glass cup. The incense burner was pushed over and the ashes were scattered on the floor.
Hearing the footsteps, he turned to look at Xue Li, then frowned and said fiercely: "Get out of here!"
Xue Li was about to leave after hearing this, but Zhao Ji pointed at her again: "You stay."
When he came closer, , Xue Li squatted next to Zhao Ji, only to find that there were many palm prints on his face.
Zhao Ji stared at Xue Li for a while. He didn't know what he thought of, and his expression became increasingly unhappy.
Xue Li hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, don't you need to call the doctor?"
He asked, "What is it about you that makes Wei Lanzhang like you?"
She was stunned for a moment, thinking that Zhao Ji must have felt that she was not worthy of Wei Jie, so He also said perfunctorily: "I am beautiful."
Zhao Ji sneered and did not deny it. He just said sarcastically: "I advise you not to be happy too early."
Xue Li asked doubtfully: "Why?"
"You are Wei Lanzhang's person. , if he dies, you won't be able to live in peace."
She frowned and said immediately: "Your Majesty, don't curse him."
Zhao Ji paused and looked at her motionless, only listening to her say: "What Wei Jie wants to do will be accomplished, and he and I will be safe and sound."
"If he dies..."
"He won't die." Xue Li looked a little unsightly, and his eyes were red. sign. "Your Majesty, don't say such things anymore."
Zhao Ji wanted to reprimand Xue Li. How dare she talk to the king of a country like this, but then she thought of Wei Jie. If he really came back alive and well, she would turn to him in the future. If he came to complain to Wei Jie and was the one who orchestrated him behind the scenes, Wei Jie, a person who is determined to retaliate, might not be willing to help him anymore.
When the words came to his lips, Zhao Ji silently held them back, and Xue Li's words seemed to make him feel more at ease. He leaned on the small table and sighed, and said slowly: "If you don't say it anymore... I don't have it." bully you."

Chapter 97
Xue Li was woken up by the cold early in the morning. The wind started blowing in the night, and she didn’t even know that the cracks in the window were blown open. The cold wind penetrated into the house, making her shrink her neck in the cold. Finally, she got up in a daze and went to clean it. The window was closed, and when she got closer to the window, she saw the whiteness outside. She opened the window suddenly, and the cold wind rushed in. She covered her arms and took a breath.
I don’t know when it started snowing. Now in the morning, the sky and the earth are completely white.
Xue Li, a native of Wu, was always happy to see Xue Xue again no matter how many times he saw it. He subconsciously turned around and called Wei Jie's name, and then looked back at the unfamiliar house and the empty bed. The familiar name came to his lips again. He stopped, and the joy on his face was wiped away.
She stood in a daze for a while, then suddenly remembered that she had been confused in the dream and thought Wei Jie was still with her.
After closing the window silently, Xue Li got back into the quilt again, but this time he couldn't sleep any more, so he finally got up, put on his clothes and washed up.
The palace people woke up early in the morning and had to go to the palace to serve Zhao Ji. Xue Li's role as a maid was just a pretense. She shouldn't have to do anything. Just to avoid causing trouble, she would still pretend to be a maid and occasionally bring tea and water to avoid attracting attention. .
The snow was falling so heavily that it was difficult to see the road ahead. The shoes made a slight sound on the soft snow. Xue Li lowered his head and looked at the long series of footprints, and his thoughts drifted away involuntarily. When she almost reached the dormitory hall, she looked up and found Zhao Ji standing in front of the hall door. She was not wearing the luxurious clothes he loved, there was no woman's hairpin on her head, and there was no rich makeup on her face. Zhao Ji showed his pale face, with tired blue and black eyes. His black hair was draped casually on his shoulders, and the heavy snow isolated him under the towering eaves like a curtain.
The cold wind blew by, blowing up a corner of his black robe. Zhao Ji just stood barefoot on the cold bricks, looking at the heavy snow falling in the sky in trance.
Only then did Xue Li realize that after taking off the nondescript makeup, Zhao Ji's appearance was actually extremely handsome, but there was always a lingering gloom between his eyebrows.
After a while, Zhao Ji glanced at them, turned around and returned to the dormitory without saying a word.
After everyone in the palace dispersed, Zhao Ji asked Xue Li to stay.
He pointed to the soft blanket beside him, asked Xue Li to sit down, and then asked her: "You must have been to many places along the way, can you tell me about it." "
Where do you want to start, Your Majesty? "
Just say whatever you have, for example..." Zhao Ji paused and then said: "Cheng'an County."
Hearing him mention Cheng'an County, Xue Li recalled the days when he was desperate and waiting to die, and his face could not help but darken. Go down. "It rained heavily for several days, which made the people very miserable. All the livestock in the grain fields were drowned by the water. Wei Jie was able to force the commanders in the city to open warehouses to save people, but he was unable to cure the disease. Even I almost died. That epidemic... was it really an act of a celebrity to sacrifice the lives of tens of thousands of people in the city to fulfill the great cause? He only had a few thousand remnant troops under his command, but the reinforcements had not arrived. If it were not him who was guarding Cheng'an County, but How can others do better than him? Everyone abandoned him..."
Xue Li remembered that he had nightmares for a while. The dead bodies piled up in the city, the wild dogs eating human corpses had scarlet eyes, and the streets The empty sound, the faint cries accompanied by the creaking sound of the wooden cart pulling the corpse, made her feel chilly in her heart even to this day when she thinks about it.
Every day, people were crying, kowtowing in front of the mansion and calling for the saint Wei Jie, asking him to save their relatives. Later, those cries gradually turned into curses.
The people in the city only knew that the emperor's uncle was fighting against him for the throne, causing them, the common people, to suffer. No one wanted to die, and they didn't know why they wanted to die.
Xue Li's tone was a bit resentful. Zhao Ji was silent and never said anything. He even had very few opportunities to step out of the palace. He had never seen what a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood was, but he knew it. It has nothing to do with him.
"To calm this troubled world, no one can be innocent." Zhao Ji said something specious, turned his head to look at the heavy snow falling outside the window, and said: "It's not like everyone has abandoned him, isn't there you? "
Xue Li raised his eyes, chuckled, and responded: "Your Majesty said it is."
No matter what, she will always be with Wei Jie.
The hall was warmed by the charcoal basin, but outside the window it was snowing and blowing. Xue Li was holding a cup of hot tea, and couldn't help but think of the heavy snowfall last year. That day, the Japanese army had nothing to do. She fell asleep while leaning on the fire to read a book. She was so groggy that she almost fell into the stove. Wei Jie hugged her, Smiling, he hit her on the head with the book, then held her in his arms, reading the words in the book to her patiently, and explaining the obscure parts again.
At that time, she was resentful and wanted to stay away from him. Her words were not pleasant to the ears, and sometimes she even deliberately scolded him in Wu Jun's accent. Wei Jie was not angry, and when she had said enough, he lowered his head and kissed her.
Thinking of those little things now, she couldn't help but feel sad.
She didn’t know where Wei Jie was at the moment and whether he was safe. Was he watching the same snow with her? Maybe I am also thinking about her and looking forward to meeting her soon.
The military camp was also covered with thick snow, and a layer of snow fell lightly on Wei Jie's shoulders.
Since Xue Li left, the rumors in the army were not very good. Where there are many men, there will be more filth. When she was there, Zhao Ying protected her, and the officers and soldiers did not dare to be disrespectful to her. Now that she is gone, some people are thinking about her beauty and say dirty and obscene words with pride.
Perhaps Zhao Ying ignored the rumors in the army in order to show that he would not be hindered by the love between his children and that he could no longer cause trouble and make people laugh because of a woman who left him.
Only Wei Jie refused to let it go easily. Someone named Xue Li also said that he was a very petty person, and as long as it was related to her, he would never let it go.
A large patch of scarlet bloomed on the blindingly white snow, and the shrill screams gradually became fainter, until finally only a breathless wail remained.
Wei Jie really didn't want Xue Li's name to come out of their mouths, and these people were really hateful, so he simply had their tongues cut out and sentenced to death. He would not be able to harm others in the future, and even the military prostitutes in the camp would applaud them.
He also found those dirty things disgusting. When he saw that the execution was over, he brushed off the falling snow from his shoulders and walked slowly towards the camp.
Before opening the curtain, his pace slowed down first, and after a few coughs, a fishy sweetness filled his throat. He silently wiped away the blush from the corner of his lips, stopped, turned around and looked in the direction of Luoyang, seeing only the vast mountains and the falling snow.
Zhao Tong was indeed decisive and ruthless in his work, and he was not merciful in giving him medicine. Over time, his body would inevitably be destroyed.
I don’t know what happened to Xue Li. There should be snow falling in Luoyang. She loves a slim waist most, doesn't want to add more clothes, and likes to eat raw and cold food, so I gave her a good health. I wonder if she took good care of herself.
It was a helpless move to send Xue Li to Zhao Ji. Zhao Ji's behavior was absurd and the situation was not really good. But now that it was someone else, he was even more worried. He just hoped that the two of them would not cause any trouble.
After the great meeting, the courtiers all had their faces broken and no longer concealed their intentions in a cowardly manner. Almost all of them had it written clearly on their faces that the Qi army was going to be defeated and they were going to flee with their money and treasures.
As for the people who can decide this matter, apart from the Xiahou family, there are only century-old prominent families like the Wei family.
The Xiahou family was ambitious, and so was the Wei family. Without the Xiahou Taiwei, the only people who could dominate the sky now would be the Wei family.
No matter how much they despise Zhao Ji, the whole country of Qi must still have the surname Zhao. To eat the king's salary and become a traitor to the country will be nailed to the history books and be infamy for thousands of years. No one wants to be burdened with notoriety first. Instead of sitting on the throne and trembling with fear, it would not be a bad idea to be a powerful minister.
As the new year approaches, the Wei family also sends congratulatory gifts to the palace. Wei Heng's scandal was exposed after the burial of the eldest lady, and his health plummeted. In addition, he was exhausted from running around to rectify the chaos, so Wei Zhi was given full authority to handle the affairs. After Wei Jie joined Zhao Tong, he received quite a lot of infamy. He also felt guilty in his heart, but it was a pity that he made the wrong move. No matter how regretful he was, everything would be difficult to turn back.
Zhao Ji came back from the Queen Mother's Palace early in the morning and saw that the palace maids in Taiji Palace were putting on new palace lanterns, and Xue Li was also standing there stupidly.
He called Xue Li into the palace with a cold face, then put a box in her hands and said, "Send it to Xianyang Palace and give it to the queen."
Xue Li heard that Zhao Ji often did ridiculous things and gave Xiahou Jing many rare things. Some of the weird objects were really unsightly, which made Xiahou Jing furious and came to settle accounts with him. Knowing clearly that Xia Houjing likes Wei Jie and might embarrass her, yet letting her get into trouble is not deliberately causing harm to others.
Xue Li reluctantly held the box without making any move, and asked, "Your Majesty told me to avoid the Queen. What if I were to cause trouble?"
Zhao Ji frowned, as if he had guessed what she was thinking. As he thought, he said displeasedly: "You can go if you are told."
After that, he added: "Don't leave in a hurry after sending it off. Wait for her to open it and look at it first, and then tell me when she comes back."
Xue Li had no choice but to Listen to him.
The box is not too heavy to hold, and I don’t know what is inside. I heard that Zhao Ji killed Xiahoujing’s pet dog in the past, so Xiahoujing killed his beloved concubine... It’s not
a good thing to think about. When I think about myself The thing in his hand might be some kind of dead thing, and Xue Li felt that it was really unlucky.
After giving it away, she still had to watch Xia Houjing open it. If she was angered because of this, she would really die unjustly.
Xue Li thought so and still hesitated when he stepped into the gate of Xianyang Hall. When the palace maid heard that she had come from Taiji Hall to send congratulatory gifts, she coldly invited her in to meet Xia Houjing, which made Xue Li feel increasingly uneasy.
The furnishings in the Xianyang Hall were as extravagant as Xia Houjing herself, but Xue Li had no intention of appreciating them, and only dared to lower his head and respectfully present the box.
Xiahou Jing saw her face, slowly sat up from the couch, and said: "Raise your head.
" The maid said, "Please step aside first."
After the maids had retreated, Xia Houjing walked slowly to Xue Li and opened the box without hesitation. She only glanced at it, and her expression changed accordingly.
At the same time, Xue Li also saw clearly what was inside. It was not the dirty thing she had guessed, but a moon-white skirt. There were not many complicated embroideries, only elegant dark patterns.
Everyone knows that Xia Houjing likes to dress up in flamboyant and gorgeous clothes. Even if Zhao Ji wants to please her, he should know why he gives her such a simple and elegant style.
Xue Li waited anxiously for Xia Houjing to get angry, but after a while there was no movement. She quietly raised her eyes and found that Xia Houjing was staring at the skirt in a daze, with a glimmer of light in her eyes.
Noticing Xue Li's gaze, Xia Houjing's face returned to a proud look.
She took out the clothes, but had no intention of letting Xue Li retreat. Instead, she went to the side room, leaving Xue Li standing there at a loss, holding an empty box.
After a while, Xia Houjing came back. She had changed out of her heavy clothes and replaced them with a moon-white skirt.
After changing her clothes, it seemed that even her arrogance had faded away. When she lowered her head to look at the hem of her skirt, Xue Li could actually see that she was a little at a loss.
Xue Li found that everything seemed to be different from what she expected, and she was extremely confused. Xia Houjing glanced at her, her tone was still cold, and said: "I accepted the things, you go back." She walked out of
the building safely. Yang Palace, until she reached the Tai Chi Palace, she was still full of doubts and didn't know who to ask. Zhao Ji insisted on leaving this matter to her because he definitely didn't want others to know about it. It was best not to know the inside information.
When Xue Li returned to the Taiji Hall to resume his life, Zhao Ji had been waiting for a long time. He turned away the palace people and said, "The queen accepted it?"
Xue Li nodded, and Zhao Ji nodded too, and then they were silent for a while. Then he asked again: "The Queen didn't say anything?"
Xue Li said truthfully: "She didn't say anything, she just let me go."
Zhao Ji had obvious frustration on his face, and he sat slumped motionless.
She thought for a while and then said, "The queen immediately put on the skirt after opening it. She must have liked it."
He sat up again, his eyes were very much like Xia Houjing's when she saw the skirt. " Does it look good
?
" I admired Wei Lanzhang because he wrote poems praising the clear moonlight, so he wore moonlight for several years..." Before he could finish, he glanced at her and sneered. "Who would have thought that his articles were elegant but his vision was vulgar, so he fell in love with you ." The vulgar people are not worthy of his elegant people, so it is better not to associate with him in the future." Zhao Ji frowned and gritted his teeth and said: "I made a mistake, how can you not be worthy? You and him are obviously a match made in heaven."

Chapter 98:
After the New Year, the war became more urgent, the nobles fled one after another, and the poor families who had not been reused in the past also came to the court and began to take on the final important task.
The Wei family was also severely damaged in the war. First there was Wei Heng's scandal, and then Wei Jie surrendered to the enemy. Then Wei Li took over Wei Jie's position, but it was only unsatisfactory. The other branches also suffered heavy casualties. The four branches of the Wei family In the defense city, almost everyone is dead. Under such circumstances, the best choice is to go south to avoid disaster and recuperate.
During this period of time, Xue Li often stayed in the palace, and witnessed Xia Houjing killing two male favorites, and then the Taiwei walked into the Taiji Hall, as arrogant as the real master. With such a situation in front of them, the Xiahou clan remained unhurried and showed no intention of fleeing Luoyang in embarrassment.
News on the battlefield always reaches the palace much later in the evening. In the early spring, Xue Li learned that Wei Jie had led the rebels and annihilated all the soldiers and horses led by Wei Li. He also saved Zhao Tong's life in danger, so he was greatly used. , but it also brought him more infamy.
Then he lobbied the nobles for Tong Zhao and recruited many generals from the uprising from poor families. He was quite prestigious among the rebels and was almost victorious in every battle.
As a result, Luoyang is even more in danger.
In early spring, when the winter snow gradually subsided, the people of Luoyang heard that there were piles of bones everywhere where the rebels went. They were panic-stricken from the beginning of the new year, and the Lantern Festival lantern festival was no more lively than in previous years. As summer is about to begin, the dandy who used to be so domineering is nowhere to be seen in the city.
Xue Ke couldn't resist Yao Linghui's crying all day long, and he had important things to do in Luoyang, so he took her back to Luoyang to look for Xue Li.
Coincidentally, the second wife was not in good health, and Wei Yun also returned to Luoyang from the south to visit his mother at the time of crisis. After learning about this, Xue Li left the palace to see Yao Linghui. Zhao Ji saw that she was protected by Jin Zheng and had no intention of stopping her.
At this time, the rebels had already attacked not far from Luoyang City. The soldiers and civilians in the city fled in all directions, and the streets were in chaos. Xue Li didn't want people to know what Wei Jie meant, so when he returned to the Wei Mansion, he didn't let Jin Zhen continue to follow him. With Wei Yun in the house, I think she will be safe and sound, not to mention that everyone now thinks that she has a pitiful life experience. She was forcibly abducted by Wei Jie, and she is sworn in with him. It is too late to pity her.
Yao Linghui was crying and asking for news about Xue Li in the house, while Xue Ke patted her shoulder to comfort her. The rest of the people also looked gloomy, not knowing how to give her an explanation. After all, it was Wei Jie who took Xue Li away. He was born in the Wei family and brought shame to the Wei family. Now that Yao Linghui has come looking for her daughter, they are also in disgrace. .
But suddenly someone came and said that Mrs. Xue came to the door. Everyone froze in place in shock. Yao Linghui also stopped crying. After reacting, she immediately ran out of the door holding the hem of her skirt. .
Wei Yun was also supported by the maid and followed them, and saw a woman wearing a willow dress from a distance.
Xue Li walked slowly closer to her in the corridor. When Wei Yun saw her again, he always felt like it was a lifetime ago. Who could have guessed that the situation had changed so much in less than a year.
When Yao Linghui saw her, she cried so much that she couldn't breathe. She almost cried until she was about to faint. Xue Ke oops several times and supported her with a bitter smile. When he saw Xue Li, he couldn't help but sigh. He only said: "Mother Li has suffered, she has suffered..."
Xue Li felt mixed emotions in his heart. He hugged Yao Linghui to comfort her, and lied that after escaping from Wei Jie, he was taken in by Liang's side branch, and then found an opportunity to return secretly. Luoyang just caused trouble and had no shame in disturbing the Wei family anymore. They wanted to wait until they knew the news about A Niang before going south to look for them. Unexpectedly, they came back to Luoyang to look for them now, and she rushed back as soon as she heard about them.
Xue Li frowned slightly, she was a pitiful and fragile beauty. When others heard this, they just felt that she had suffered so much and was really pitiful, and they did not doubt the truth of her words.
After hearing this, Xue Ke became angry and scolded Wei Jie through gritted teeth. Xue Li glanced at him and said, "It's all over. Daddy, don't mention it again." Xue Ke followed
Xue Li's wishes and really didn't No more talk, at night the Wei Mansion organized a banquet to wash away Xue Li's shock. Xue Li listened to what his mother said for a long time, and then he had the opportunity to greet Wei Yun, whom he hadn't seen for a long time. When he got closer, he found that Wei Yun's abdomen was slightly twitching. The bulge looks like she is pregnant.
Xue Li was stunned, and then heard Wei Yun say calmly: "This child is already five months old.
" The brilliance even made her look haggard, and the fatigue could be seen in her eyes.
"You must have suffered a lot during this period. You should cultivate yourself well in the house. When you are stable in the future, it will not be too late to go south." Wei Yun looked at her, as if he had a lot to say, but then sighed, He swallowed back what he wanted to say.
"It's okay."
Xue Li returned to Taoqiyuan at night. The oleanders in the yard had not been pruned for a long time, and the dense branches covered the wall. She stood motionless, remembering the time when she was struggling to get close to Wei Jie. Once she moved a soft mat and sat under the shade of the trees to drink and have tea. She felt sleepy in the afternoon and fell asleep. When she woke up, Wei Jie was holding Qin in his arms. Sitting opposite her, he was picking up the fallen oleander from her hair.
At that time, he was quite polite and polite, and had the integrity of a gentleman. She wanted to call him in a pretentious manner, but when a bug fell on her skirt, she jumped up in fright. She cried and stamped her feet, shouting like crazy: "Cousin! There is a bug, please help me!"
Seeing that she was going crazy with anxiety, Wei Jie calmly brushed the bugs away, and then she refused to sit under the shade of the trees no matter what.
I always feel like these things happened just yesterday, and then in the blink of an eye, such a long time has passed.
After bathing, Xue Li sat in front of the couch and coaxed Yao Linghui into a deep sleep, but he tossed and turned unable to close his eyes. After returning to the Wei Mansion, every plant and tree here reminded her of Wei Jie, making her feel increasingly uneasy.
In the end, she couldn't help but get up, put on some clothes and headed towards Yuhengju.
She had walked this road many times, without a lantern and without worrying about taking the wrong turn. The eldest lady died of illness, Wei Heng was seriously ill and did not return, and Wei Jie was expelled from the Wei family. The grounds of the Wei family's mansion were empty, and even the servants rarely walked around. Since Wei Jie left the Wei Mansion, only two of the waiters at Yuhengju remained, and the rest dispersed together.
Yuhengju, where the lights used to be lit all night, is now only pitch black, with the occasional chirping of insects amidst the silence.
She still remembered that she had repaired Wei Jie's piano. She originally thought that he would never use the piano again, but later when she was in Cheng'an County, she discovered that he only took this piano with him when he left Wei Mansion.
Xue Li couldn't remember how long she stayed here. It wasn't until she was about to walk away that she realized that her legs and feet were a little stiff.
After she sighed and walked away slowly, the figure hidden in the shadow followed quietly until she saw her entering Taoqiyuan.
Seeing that the rebels were about to arrive, the dignitaries in Luoyang fled like birds and beasts. Wei Zhi also wanted to leave with his family, but the second lady was seriously ill. The century-old ancestral hall and tombs of the ancestors of the Wei family must not be left behind. If not, No matter how hard he adheres to his integrity, he would rather be a lost dog who abandons the city and flees. He is only afraid that he will never have the face to see his ancestors again after his death.
It's just that most of the people in the court were promoted from humble backgrounds. He disdained working with these people, and there were many disputes on weekdays. In order to avoid the scene of polite sweeping on the day of the court meeting, Zhao Ji did not go to court for many days. What's more, Zhao Ji is just a mediocre and incompetent person. Even in the court, he is a useless decoration. Wei Zhi has no intention of paying attention to him and just discusses countermeasures with several colleagues.
Wei Zhi was busy with government affairs all day long and was nowhere to be seen. Xue Ke was in a hurry to leave Luoyang, fearing that it would be difficult to leave when the rebels attacked the city. Wei Yun also wanted to keep Xue Li for two more days, but Xue Li wanted to refuse. Yao Linghui agreed for her.
Now she just wants Xue Li to cut off their relationship with Wei Jie. The Wei family cannot be overthrown overnight.
Xue Li had no choice but to agree, but Wei Yun was pregnant, the second wife was ill, and her two sisters were still young and couldn't go anywhere with her, so she was the only one who could accompany Wei Yun.
But I didn't expect that such a delay would actually lead to the rebels coming to attack the city. It was difficult for the people in the city to leave even if they wanted to.
Xue Ke was so anxious that he stamped his feet on the spot, and Yao Linghui was even more panicked. He hurriedly packed up and took Xue Li away to avoid trouble, for fear that if Xue Li fell into Wei Jie's hands again, he would suffer some revenge in the future.
Xue Li didn't take it seriously. She was only worried about how Wei Jie would escape. Now that he had arrived in Luoyang, it could be said that there was no way to retreat. If he really attacked the imperial city, Wei Jie's reputation as a traitor would no longer be lost.
What's more, Luoyang City is still guarded by the Xiahou family, how can it be easily broken by the rebels?
Later, Xue Li wanted to take a look at the city gate. She knew that Wei Jie was already very close. Wei Yun also thought that she and Yao Linghui were leaving, so he held a banquet for her on the island in the middle of the lake to see her off.
Xue Li has always felt guilty about Wei Yun, so he did not reject her kindness.
A pavilion was built on a small island in the lake in the middle of the house. It used to be a place for banquets and fun in the middle of the house. Now Wei Chi was secretly executed, Wei Li is still quelling the chaos, and the cousins from the other branches either fled or died in battle. , this place has been vacant for a long time.
It was the new moon that was high in the sky, and the palace lanterns under the eaves attracted many flying insects. The maid held a small fan to swat away the mosquitoes for them. After Wei Yun dismissed them, he poured himself a glass of wine.
"Sister Yun is not allowed to drink alcohol when she is pregnant."
Wei Yun heard her words but ignored her. He drank the wine in one gulp and said disapprovingly: "It doesn't matter."
She raised her head and glanced at the new moon in the sky, and she didn't know what to think. What, suddenly said: "Ms. Li, I regard you as a confidant, and I have always protected you sincerely. If you are persecuted in any way, just tell me, I will not abandon you."
Xue Li pretended not to understand, He smiled and said, "Where did the coercion come from? Sister Yun got drunk after just one sip?"
"I used to think that the best man in the world is like my cousin. I want to marry someone who is unparalleled in the world." People. Who knows that things in the world are always unsatisfactory. My husband is good at painting landscapes, but he doesn’t know anything about writing or sages. As a county guard, he can’t tell what the chief secretary of the county is doing..." Wei Yun told slowly. Looking at her incompetent husband and talking about her initial expectations for her future husband, she couldn't help but shed tears as she spoke.
She used to be just a carefree noble girl, and what she cared about most in the world was her admired cousin. It seemed that everything had quietly shifted since Xue Li arrived at the Wei Mansion. The cousin she admired had a different appearance, everyone in the Wei family had a different appearance, and now even Xue Li seemed to be different from what she had in mind.
Seeing her crying, Xue Li was at a loss and could only think of ways to comfort her.
Most things in the world are not going as planned. Wei Yun has had a smooth life since she was a child. She is surrounded by young talents like Wei Jie and Wei Li. It is inevitable that she suddenly marries a mediocre and boring person, and it is inevitable that she will feel aggrieved in her heart.
Even when she and Liang Yan rode across the long street and went to see the mountains of spring flowers outside Luoyang City, she was suddenly dragged by Wei Jie to learn the piano and read books, and she felt infinitely depressed.
Xue Li drank wine, became a little groggy, and started to talk nonsense: "Since you don't look down on him, try to teach him to be more interesting. After all, you are a member of the Wei family. If he really doesn't like you... you So, let him go and let your cousin find another one for you..."
By the time Wei Yun called the maid back, Xue Li was so drunk that she fell asleep on the table. The wine cup was pushed away, and she The sleeves of her skirt were also stained with wine.
Wei Yun stared at her for a while and said indifferently: "Take Miss Li down and change her clothes."
When Xue Li woke up again, it was the scorching sun. Maybe he had a splitting headache after sleeping for too long, and his whole body was numb. I had no strength, so I forced myself to sit up, and it took me a while to regain my composure. After I helped myself to the bed and got to the ground, my eyesight went black again, and I almost fell to my knees.
She called out weakly twice with a hoarse voice. After a long time, the maid came in and brought clean water for washing and refreshments.
After Xue Li had some tea, he finally gained some strength and said helplessly: "Go and prepare the boat. If I don't go back, my mother will scold me again."
The maid glanced at her and said yes, and then Xue Li finished eating alone. After a plate of snacks, she didn't see the maid coming back, so she couldn't help but get up to urge her. After she walked for a while, her footsteps suddenly stopped. She turned her head to look at the peonies planted aside. The peonies were still in bud last night. Today, But the petals are spread out in great splendor.
When she thought about waking up, her body was sore and she was so hungry that she couldn't get up, she was afraid that she had just slept for a day.
Xue Li hurriedly went to look for the maid, but she was probably deliberately avoiding her. After searching around, there was no sign of her. She waited patiently for half an hour before she saw Wei Yun coming to see her in a boat.
Wei Yun had no expression on his face. When he saw Xue Li for the first time, he said, "Ms. Li, I'm doing this for your own good."
Xue Li couldn't hold back his anger and asked her, "How many days did I sleep? How is Luoyang?" Where is my mother-in-law?"
"There are rebels outside Luoyang City, and no one can get out. Mrs. Yao knows that you have been bewitched by Wei Jie and want to go out of the city to have a private meeting with him. I have already told you that I have detained you here. She said it." Wei Yun seemed to be a different person, his tone was cold, and his eyes were even more so. "You are too naive. Wei Jie is a cunning man and has a deep city. It is understandable that you were deceived by him. Anyone who has anything to do with him will be plagued by disasters and will never have peace. The Wei family has ended up today, isn't it? Is it because of him? I want to save you, Mother Li. You have a kind heart and you shouldn't be entangled with him like this."
Xue Li couldn't bear it and said: "Don't think you are right in making decisions for me. No matter who I get entangled with, it doesn't matter. I'm willing to do it. If you hate him and hate him, why do you need to trap me here?"
Wei Yun's face became darker and darker when he heard her words, almost angry, and then she stood up suddenly, looking at He stared at Xue Li with splitting eyes, stared at her with red eyes, and said sternly: "Are you stupid? Wei Jie is no longer the eldest son he used to be. He is a shame to our family. He cannot afford those beauties. What a reputation, he is clearly a traitor and a despicable person! The Wei family has raised him for more than twenty years, and now he is going to be destroyed in his hands! Do you know that I feel sick when I think about how I have admired him for more than ten years? Disgusting. You have to get entangled with him, no wonder I am!"
Xue Li was frightened by her appearance, and couldn't help but take a step back, then stood up straight, and sneered: "You have said so much, and you have nothing to do with me. What does it have to do with it? I know what kind of person Wei Jie is, and I don’t need anyone to remind me. Are you really doing it for my own good by trapping me here? Wei Yun, what do you mean?"
"You are still This is the first time you refused to call me sister." Wei Yun gradually calmed down, and when he looked at Xue Li, he felt that the Xue Li in front of him was extremely strange.
She resented the entanglement between Xue Li and Wei Jie. Wei Jie was hateful and disgusting. She couldn't believe that the person she had admired for many years was so miserable, but Xue Li was so kind, but he only wanted to be obsessed with Wei Jie. Wei Yun couldn't tell how she felt, as if both people had betrayed her, she couldn't suppress her unwillingness.
Wei Yun did not answer her words, and turned around to leave. Xue Li chased him to the shore of the lake. She stopped and turned around and said: "I just don't want you to be confused by him. You are simple-minded and easy to accept." I trapped you here with the intention of not letting you go out of the city to meet him privately, so as not to make a big mistake in the future."
"The original intention, what is the intention now?" Xue Li immediately heard the key point, and his eyes changed. Then it changed.
"Just the day before, my brother was captured by him." Wei Yun moved his eyes away from her, only staring at the sparkling lake. Li Niang risked her life to save her, but now she wants to use Li Niang's weakness to plot against her. "Whether you are more important than military merit depends on how he chooses."
Xue Li laughed angrily and asked, "If he kills Wei Li, what do you want to do with me?"
Wei Yun seemed to have never thought about it, so After hesitating for a while, he said, "I won't let you continue to be entangled with him."
Xue Li was completely impatient, turned around and stopped looking at her, letting Wei Yun leave in the boat.
She ate alone at night, lying on the couch and staring at the tent roof. She waited until late at night before getting up and walking outside. The maid thought she was getting up at night and didn't take it to heart. She didn't get suspicious until she didn't see Xue Li for a while and returned to her room. She looked around for her and finally found a figure standing by the lake.
Just as the maid was about to call her out, she saw Xue Li leap into the lake with a splash, causing a large splash of water.
Seeing this scene, the maid stiffened up and held her breath in fear, and then she hurriedly shouted as if she was waking up from a dream: "Here comes someone! Madam Xue threw herself into the lake and committed suicide!" The
lake in the mansion is a human being. What was dug out was not too big, but no matter how good Xue Li was in water, it was not easy to swim to the other side.
The lake water at night was freezing cold, and she regretted it as soon as she entered the water. But now Wei Yun had really annoyed her, and she was not willing to stay in this place for a moment longer.
There were only two maids in the Huxin Pavilion. Seeing Xue Li throwing herself into the lake, one of them was still awakened from her sleep. She quickly got up and ran outside. She saw her companion was so panicked that she stamped her feet on the spot, almost crying, and rushed towards The lake was shouting loudly, but in the night, a line of churning water waves in the lake could be vaguely seen getting farther and farther away.
"Isn't Madam Xue impervious to water?" the maid said blankly.
Another person was furious: "How do I know? It's probably our lady who was deceived again. How can she not be watertight? There are no fish in the lake like her." There is no
cruise ship in Huxin Pavilion, so the two maids can only look at each other. , waiting to be punished by Wei Yun.
When she reached the stone shore, Xue Li held on to the calamus growing on the shore. She finally breathed a sigh of relief. When there was only half the distance left in the swim, she almost ran out of energy. Maybe she was too afraid of death, but she actually I swam here in one breath. But now her hands and feet were sore and limp, and she even had no strength to raise her hands. After soaking in the water for a while, she found a position and climbed up with difficulty.
After sitting on the ground for a moment, Xue Li slowly stood up. Her body was dripping wet, and the silk shoes on her feet had disappeared at some point. She had no intention of paying attention and just dragged her steps outside. She shivered with cold when the night wind blew, but after walking for a long time, she still didn't see the servant who patrolled the house at night.
After walking for a while, they finally saw a maid running in a hurry. Xue Li was wet like a wandering spirit, and the maid screamed in fright.
She couldn't help but sigh and asked, "Why are you running?"
"The rebels have entered the city! The eldest son is coming to seek revenge on the Wei family! Madam, please run away as well." Before Xue Li could ask again, the maid After saying that, he ran away in a hurry.
Xue Li stood there with mixed emotions, confused and angry. She didn't know how many drugs Wei Yun had taken. When she woke up, Luoyang had been conquered. No wonder she was so hungry that she didn't have the strength to stay down.
When the rebels entered the city, the discipline was as strict as the Wei Mansion, but it was still chaos.
Someone yelled and cursed and ran past Xue Li, but she had no intention of looking back. She stepped on something unknown on the road, which stung the soles of her feet and made her stop. She even walked faster and faster.
After the separation, she always thought that when they met again, she would run to see him.
After asking where Xue Li was, Wei Jie ignored others and went to look for her.
The incident occurred suddenly. The servants in the mansion did not know the difference between Wei Jie and Zhao Tong's troops. They only knew that the rebels would kill people when they entered the city. Therefore, they were all eager to escape, and the Wei mansion was in chaos.
In the dark night, the lanterns on the corridor were not lit. Wei Jie simply held up a lantern by himself, so that he could vaguely see the road ahead.
There are many things that he has not told Xue Li. She must have many questions in her mind. He can slowly explain them to her and then make arrangements for her.
Thinking of this, he unconsciously walked a little faster. After walking a long way, he heard a sound approaching quickly in the corridor, and his steps subconsciously slowed down, and then a disheveled figure suddenly appeared. The ground hit him, and a pair of arms tightly hugged his waist.
Wei Jie's hand fell on her body and touched the cold water on it.
He moved for a moment, but still hugged her tightly, and then he heard the person in his arms muffled: "I almost died of exhaustion."
Wei Jie smiled helplessly, as if all the fatigue and fatigue had turned into nothing at this moment. Nothing, only a deep feeling of reluctance.
"Ms. Oriole, why do you look like this every time I find you?"
"I obviously found you." After she retorted, Wei Jie chuckled and brushed the wet hair away from her cheeks. , holding her face and kissing her.

Chapter 99
Xue Li was very wet. After Wei Jie took off his robe and put it on her, he noticed her bare feet. He couldn't help but frown and said, "You always make me uneasy."
After the joy, Seeing her in such danger, it would be a lie to say that she was not angry. However, seeing her embarrassed appearance, those anger quickly turned into a puddle of water like ice in summer.
Xue Li clung to his shoulder, and then he remembered the pain in his foot, and whispered: "It seems to be a prick, it hurts a lot."
Wei Jie expected the same, picked her up horizontally, sighed, and said helplessly: " That's all, go back first."
"Going back to Yuhengju?" Xue Li sounded reluctant.
"No, someone has already prepared a place to stay. If you don't like it here, we just won't come here again."
The robe was put on Xue Li for a while, and soon got soaked, and Wei Jie's front was also stained with water.
Wei Jie's pace was steady. Xue Li was close to him and could hear his slow and heavy heartbeat. She tightened her grip on Wei Jie's clothes, and her tight heart finally relaxed in his arms.
She had always been afraid, not only worried about whether Wei Jie would be safe, but also worried about whether he would succumb to Zhao Tong's intimidation and continue to serve such a violent traitor, and would never be able to escape the infamy.
No one stopped her along the way. Wei Jie knew that Xue Li was very tired. When he carried her into the carriage, she was already a little sleepy. He let Wei Jie do whatever he wanted and changed her wet clothes, using only his clean clothes. Wrapped in robe.
She rested her head on Wei Jie's legs and let her wet hair hang down.
"You have been in the palace for a few days. You must have a lot of questions that you want to ask. I will tell you all of them." Wei Jie suddenly paused in the middle of speaking, then turned away and coughed a few times.
Xue Li opened his eyes and looked at him, jokingly saying: "I am a man who fell into the water before I got cold, so you got sick first? I haven't seen you for half a year, and my health is getting worse."
Wei Jie did not refute, just lowered his head and looked at him. Look at her intently. There was only a corner lamp hanging in the carriage. Under the dim yellow light, he still wanted to see Xue Li's face clearly.
She didn't know why Wei Jie suddenly looked at her like this. She was a little embarrassed for a moment and turned her face away uncomfortably, but he straightened her head. It was clearly early summer, but Wei Jie's fingertips were slightly cold, touching the side of her neck, making her tremble.
"Ms. Oriole, these days..." He gently rubbed the skin on the side of her neck, then to her cheek, letting the wet black hair pass through the gaps between his fingers. "I miss you very much."
He didn't need to ask, he could feel that Xue Li missed him too.
Along the way, Wei Jie told Xue Li his long-standing plan. The truth was far more complicated than Xue Li had guessed, so that she could not recover for a long time.
The surrender of Cheng'an County was indeed an accident, but in the end it was a combination of circumstances and a combination of circumstances. Zhao Tong's rebellion completely tore away the curtain that kept the noble families in power, revealing the many holes beneath the gold and jade. The Qi State had long been eaten clean by these noble families. Even when Wei Jie was in a high position, it was even more difficult to promote a poor family. If he wanted to completely purge the court and return power to the king, he could only suppress these powerful noble families.
Xue Li thought that everything was for the purpose of destroying the Xiahou clan, but he never thought that the one he really wanted to destroy was the Wei family. For hundreds of years, the Wei family took the lead in passing on seals and ribbons and drafting Zen edicts. Since the late emperor, he had deliberately restricted the court, so he supported He sent the Xiahou family to balance the Wei family, so as to gain a glimmer of hope for the dying royal family of Qi.
Zhao Tong was ambitious and had the intention of treason. He was forced to get up early to rebel. It was also because Wei Heng and other clan elders could not restrain themselves and wanted to attack the Xiahou family. Zhao Ji had no choice but to take this dangerous move. Let Zhao Tong destroy the noble families, and the vassal kings and noble families fight each other. These incompetent people will definitely find a way to escape, and he will have the opportunity to take back his power.
Xue Li was still puzzled. After being stuffed into the bathtub by Wei Jie, he still asked him: "If that's the case, why would you help him? You are from the Wei family. You couldn't have discussed it with him early in the morning."
"Yes. " Wei Jie pressed her into the hot water again, so that her shoulders were immersed in it. "The original assassination was by people of the Xiahou clan. If I stayed, it would be a disaster for them, so they wanted to get rid of me as soon as possible. The subsequent assassination was done by Wei Li, and Wei Chi was just used as a pawn. Zhao Ji guessed that Wei Because of the estrangement between Chi and me, I deliberately investigated the old events of that year, which then led Wei Li to investigate in detail, and used Wei Chi to expose it in public, so as to force me to betray the Wei family. The plan I set up cost tens of thousands of soldiers. , it was Wei Li who intentionally betrayed me and brought a bad name on me."
After hearing this, Xue Li immediately became angry when he thought of Zhao Ji's face. "What a foolish man who pretends to be crazy, but is so sinister behind his back. I thought he was friends with you..." "I can't call him a good
friend. I've only known each other for a few years. I'm not unaware of his plans with the Xiahou family, but they didn't matter in the past. , now...it's okay to help him. With you by my side, I always hope to be more stable." He knew well before that without power in his hands, he could not control the people and things around him. He was willing to deal with it There is only one trouble, Xue Li. Without enough power, there will only be more troubles.
When Wei Jie was under Zhao Tong, he had already figured out the traitors in the court, and secretly recruited some soldiers for his own use. When he went to lobby the nobles and the leaders of the poor families, he also used his own name. The noble families going south would welcome him. The troops of Xiahou and Zhao Tong were sent to the army, and government affairs finally fell into the hands of courtiers with practical knowledge. The soldiers promoted by Wei Jie colluded with him early and killed Zhao Tong outside Luoyang City, catching him off guard. Finally, in One step away from Luoyang fled in panic.
Xue Li was still a little angry after thinking about it. He raised his head and said displeasedly: "He deliberately harmed you, and you still want to help him?" "
Just go with the flow, he has no way out." Seeing her being so annoyed, Wei Jie couldn't help but smile. Said: "What's more, someone has secretly explored my life experience, and it will only be exposed sooner or later. It can't be called helping him, it's just what everyone needs. I helped him, and I will be in the first rank in the future. What's wrong with that? ?"
Xue Li leaned on the edge of the tub and raised her head to look at him. The water mist made her eyes wet, and her skin became pink and white, like a ripe peach.
"It's not the Wei family who wants to get rid of the Xiahou family, but the Xiahou family who joins forces with His Majesty to get rid of all the prominent families. It's okay this time. The world is in chaos and there are countless casualties. Who can be considered the winner?" "
Although it is a bad idea to risk death and survive. , but it is the only method he can use." Wei Jie's tone was calm, as if the turbulence that made him almost die was not worth mentioning.
Xue Li couldn't help but ask: "But in this case, Zhao Tong should be able to guess that you let me go. Even if you have great military achievements, he would not dare to reuse you easily. Why should you be given the opportunity to rebel against him?"
She really thought. It doesn't make sense. Is Zhao Tong really so precious about his talents that he is willing to take the risk and appoint Wei Jie?
The person above her was silent for a long time. Xue Li didn't wait for his answer. Just when she raised her head to ask again, Wei Jie leaned over and kissed her first.
Not long after, his robe had been taken off and he casually placed it on the screen. Following his movements, the water spread out a little, and Xue Li was held in his arms. His black hair was like silk floating in the water, entangled together and unable to distinguish each other.
"How was your time in the palace? Did Zhao Ji feel sorry for you?"
When Wei Jie mentioned this, Xue Li also forgot what he had just said and only said: "He was worried about you and didn't do anything to me. It's just that he and the queen look a little weird."
Although Xiahou Jing didn't respect Zhao Ji enough, she was very protective of him. If others insulted Zhao Ji in person, it would be like slapping her in the face. Even if Zhao Ji didn't get angry, Xia Houjing would also kill the opponent immediately.
Xue Li leaned against Wei Jie and asked, "They really don't look like a couple."
Wei Jie said lightly, "They are just monarchs and ministers, not husband and wife."
Xue Li was also stunned, but before he could take a closer look, Wei Jie was She hugged him and pressed her into his arms.
She felt something, and her face immediately started to feel hot. She grabbed the edge and tried to get up, but Wei Jie grabbed her hand.
The wet hair stuck to her body, but was pushed aside by Wei Jie, revealing her white and greasy neck.
"We haven't seen each other for a long time, Ms. Li..." Wei Jie's voice was very soft, soaking through her like warm water, making her unable to help but feel soft. She nodded in a daze and let him hold her shoulder.
Xue Li's arms grasped the wet edge, and his whole body was covered with powder. Only his fingers were so hard that they turned white, and his nails almost dug into the wood.
It wasn't until the water gradually cooled that Wei Jie carried her out. The water in the bucket seemed to be half missing, and there were wet stains all over the floor.
He didn't seem to be satisfied yet, so he put her on the couch and struggled with her for a while. Finally, he ordered someone to change the water, and Xue Li was carried by him to take a bath again.
Perhaps because of being tortured by Wei Jie, Xue Li slept until noon after being tired for most of the night. After waking up, he subconsciously touched the other side, only to find a cold hand, so he hurriedly lifted the quilt and stood up. He hurriedly ran out without even wearing shoes and socks. As soon as he opened the door, he suddenly ran into someone's arms.
Wei Jie picked her up and put her back on the couch, then held her ankles, raised her legs slightly, and looked at the injuries on her feet. "Isn't it painful?"
"I just took the medicine early in the morning, so don't move around. Just tell me what you want." After Wei Jie finished speaking, he realized that Xue Li was still staring at her, and couldn't help but smile. , asked her: "What's wrong?"
"It's like a dream." Xue Li murmured: "When I woke up, you were back safe and sound." "It's
just a pity that I couldn't take Zhao Zhao with me. The president's life was only blinded in one eye." What's even more pity is that Zhao Ying is still alive. He wanted to kill Zhao Ying earlier and then secretly remove Liang Yan to put an end to their thoughts. Whenever he recalled the entanglement between Xue Li and them, he became jealous and wanted to burn them all.
"There is no need to rush. There are still many days to quell this rebellion." Xue Li allowed him to apply medicine to himself, while he lay on the quilt and looked at the ceiling of the tent, saying with a little embarrassment: "I have to go find him today." Auntie, now that you have repelled the rebels and allowed people with lofty ideals in the court to occupy the position of nobles, those people must have nothing good to say. I want to make it clear to them first, so as not to misunderstand you in the future. Detain me and not allow me to see you. You also know that the bastard things you did have made my mother-in-law angry, and neither she nor my father want to see you..."
Wei Jie nodded and said, "I will accompany you. Go."
Xue Li immediately refused, shook his head and said: "That's not good, let's talk about it later. They are angry, and I can't change their minds with just a few words. I still have to think about it in the long term. If I take you there now, My mother-in-law must think that I have lost my mind."
He has always listened to Xue Li's wishes on these matters. Now that she has said this, he will not force anything. It just so happens that he has to go to the palace to discuss government affairs and meet with Zhao There are also some old things to settle.
After giving Xue Li medicine in the afternoon, Wei Jie carried her into the carriage and personally took her to the gate of Wei Mansion, specifically asking her not to move around too much to avoid her injury. Xue Li had no chance to move, and almost Wei Jie left. Before she could get off the carriage, Yao Linghui ran out with Xue Ke, shocked and saying: "I heard that Wei Lanzhang forced you again last night and kidnapped you." Go, your father and I have been worried all night."
Xue Li was not surprised at all when he heard this. Yao Linghui is a smart man, and Xue Ke is even more so. Even if they say they are worried, they will not risk it. Risk your life to find her. As a family, they care most about themselves.
She just rolled up the car curtain, but had no intention of getting out. She said obediently: "My daughter is fine, mother and father don't have to worry. My cousin did not force me, but there was some misunderstanding in the past. Now I have made it clear. I believe that after this battle, the stigma on him can be washed away. I hope you will not misunderstand him because of those rumors."
Xue Ke's face turned cold, lowered his voice, and reprimanded: "Ms. Li, you are still young, and you are still young. This is a woman who doesn't know the pros and cons. Even if he has merit, the stigma may not be completely washed away. His city is deeply blocked, and his love and hatred are hard to see on his face. He has kidnapped you several times without telling you, and he has also tried to force you to submit. Using poison on you shows that he has sinister intentions. No matter how hard it is for a famous family to tolerate him in the future, don't be stupid. "
Of course Xue Li knows what kind of person Wei Jie is, but Yao Linghui and Xue Ke don't know her very well. When she was a well-behaved and gentle person who had suffered a terrible disaster. She couldn't tell her what happened when she provoked Wei Jie to plot against Zhao Tong, so she could only think of ways to suppress their anger. Just when she was about to explain, she heard a call.
She looked towards the steps, where Wei Yun stood looking at her, his face as pale as paper, and his eyes were indescribably cold.
Xue Li lowered his eyes and whispered: "We will discuss this matter in the future. My cousin and I have something to say. Don't worry, mom, everything is fine with me."
Yao Linghui didn't want to argue with her in front of Wei Mansion, lest it spread to the outside world. Wei Jie's words aroused his dissatisfaction, so he had no choice but to leave with Xue Ke with a cold face.
Xue Li had no intention of getting off the carriage, and Wei Yun did not have the arrogance and domineering glory he had before. She couldn't help but remember that a long time ago, she deliberately plotted against Wei Yun. She was wearing a pear-red dress. Wei Yun sat on the carriage and glanced at her sharply. Even when he was sarcastic, he was full of arrogance. And the garnet red dress faded away from her body just like her pride. Xue Li felt desolate when he saw her at this moment.
Wei Yun was pregnant, so she walked very slowly. She stopped when she was two steps away from the carriage. Xue Li looked at her condescendingly and called in a low voice: "Wei Yun."
Hearing her call, Wei Yun Suddenly he sneered and his eyes became sharp.
"Xue Li, you are also a liar."
Wei Yun wanted to find a trace of shame on Xue Li's face. However, no matter how carefully she looked, Xue Li's expression was calm and gentle, showing the calmness of Wei Jie. It seems to be sharp enough to hurt someone.
Xue Li pushed her hair behind her ears, smiled softly, and said nonchalantly: "Since you already know, I have nothing to say."
Wei Yun never thought that she would have this day, and what she admired was Who is it, or is it true that she is self-righteous, the Xue Li in her eyes is just a shadow, the soft and lovable Li Niang has never appeared.
"I didn't want you to know. Who would have thought that you would lock me up? Now that you understand, it's just sad for nothing. Why bother?" She never risked her life to save Wei Yun. She even had a part in the plot for Wei Yun to fall into the water. Yun is not stupid. He knows that she is good at water, so he can naturally figure it out. A noble daughter raised in a high family is used to hearing compliments from others, and over time she will take them as the truth. She must be rarely frustrated, and she will find that her beloved uncles, cousins, and even her good friends are other people. With this appearance, it is inevitable to feel sad and angry.
"It's better than continuing to be teased by you and losing your sincerity." Wei Yun said in a bad tone and turned his head away from looking at her.
Xue Li sighed: "My sister's words are very strange, and she makes me sound like a heartless person. But that's what I look like. My sister has misjudged me, so I have to be more careful in the future." "
I don't want to see you again in the future. "After Wei Yun finished speaking in a cold voice, Xue Li's smile did not diminish. It was not until she watched Wei Yun turn around to leave that she lowered the car curtain, leaned against the car wall and sighed softly.
She would also feel bored by always pretending to be kind and gentle. If she said she was reluctant to let go, she would still be a little bit reluctant. Who doesn't want to be liked, but her nature is like this. If she doesn't like it, that's fine. How can it be.
Xue Li's only remaining friends in Luoyang were gone, and they had no interest in catching up with Yao Linghui this time. They explained clearly and asked someone to take her back to Wei Jie's new mansion.
She couldn't see clearly at night, and was hugged by Wei Jie when she went out. She didn't take a closer look at the mansion. She waited until she had time to relax and realized that the layout here was similar to that of Yuhengju. Everything was elegant. She must have been Wei Jie's house a long time ago. I ordered people to start the arrangement, but I never told her.
When she heard that Wei Jie was in the study, she quickly looked over and saw him handing a letter to Jin Qing.
"I've met Mrs. Xue."
Jin Qing bowed and left. Xue Li sat down next to Wei Jie. She always felt a faint bitter medicinal fragrance, so she leaned closer to him, next to his clothes. After sniffing lightly, Wei Jie laughed and asked, "What are you looking for?"
The Dragon Boat Festival has just passed, so it’s not surprising that the house is smelling of herbs. Thinking of this, Xue Li shook his head and raised his face slightly to kiss him. Wei Jie lowered his head in response.
However, he soon noticed Xue Li's absent-mindedness, stepped away slightly, and asked her softly: "What's wrong?"
"Did you just take the medicine?" Xue Li frowned, and his tone was not good. "What kind of medicine is it again?"
Wei Jie looked calm and said, "It's just the wind and cold."
Xue Li then remembered that Wei Jie seemed to have mentioned it yesterday, and then he gradually calmed down and said, "You just returned to Beijing, and you will have a good rest these days. , Zhao Tong's vitality has been greatly damaged after this battle, I'm afraid it will be difficult to attack Luoyang again."
Wei Jie paused and said, "Mrs. Yao's place, if you want, I will go and make amends."
Xue Li said disapprovingly : "Don't pay attention to it. Even if you go, they will only make excuses and won't tell you the truth."
After saying that, she thought of Wei Heng again, so she asked: "Is Pingyuan Marquis and the Duke of the County together?" I wrote to you again. I heard that the Duke is not in good health. The war has calmed down a bit, and he will return to Luoyang. There will be a storm in the court." "
This time, the person who intercepted and killed the remaining rebel generals was Pingyuan Marquis, Xia Houxin has informed him of my intention."
Xue Li hesitated for a while, but still asked: "Whose party are you... now?"
Is it the Wei family or the Pingyuan Marquis... ...
Wei Jie smiled and said, "I'm just one of yours."
After the rebels in Luoyang retreated, everyone also knew that Wei Jie had not surrendered to the enemy, but he had worked for Zhao Tong's men, and he had the secrets of countless people on his hands. Blood, it is difficult to return to the impeccable Wei Langjun before. Xue Li has heard that he is duplicitous and scheming.
She took out the book she copied, which contained records of some scholars who had insulted Wei Jie. Some of them were even recorded in detail with their age, origin, and reputation among the people... While
Wei Jie was flipping through it, he leaned against Xue Li's arms. Li laughed so hard that his shoulders were shaking.
Yao Linghui wanted to persuade Xue Li again, but there was no way. King Junshan was defeated like a mountain. Many people saw that the situation was not good and immediately distanced themselves from him, so that there was chaos within the rebels.
Xue Ling was thrown into Luoyang by Wei Jie and almost starved to death in prison. In the end, it was Xue Ke who went to plead for mercy and fished out the emaciated Xue Ling. Now that I heard that Xue Ke was back, I approached him again and wanted to go south with him.
Xue Ke was angry with Wei Jie, but because Wei Jie was so powerful, there was nothing he could do about it, but he still felt that he owed Xue Li deep down in his heart. When Xue Ling came to look for him, he was coming out of the Wei Mansion. He saw a man in shabby clothes at the door talking to the guard in front of the door. Due to the strong local accent, the guard was confused and scolded impatiently. Tell him a few words.
Xue Ke happened to understand a little bit because he had been away from Shang Dynasty for many years. He could vaguely recognize the word Wei Lanzhang, so he waved and called the person to his side.
Now that Wei Jie has returned to the court, he is highly praised by the courtiers. Most of the people in the court are people from poor families who rely on Wei Jie. Many people who used to ridicule him when he was in trouble also tried their best to excuse themselves and sent letters to express good words for the family. , to avoid being implicated in the future.
It's just that the guests who came from afar didn't know that Wei Jie was not in Wei Mansion now, so they sent letters here one after another. Xue Ke had never seen such a messy messenger before, and he didn't know who the messenger was.
The other party bowed to him and said, "This is a letter from our general to the Crown Prince. If Mr. Lang can see the Crown Prince, please pass it on to him."
"Prince Crown Prince?" Xue Ke was stunned for a moment, then asked him : "Who is your general?"
"We call our soldiers Pingyuan Marquis."
"That's it. Don't worry, I will definitely deliver this letter to you..." The man was also simple. When he saw Xue Ke coming out of Wei Mansion, he said Having heard about Wei's good reputation, he immediately handed the letter and wooden box to him without thinking.
After Xue Ke took the letter, Xue Ling on the side frowned and asked, "Isn't Marquis Pingyuan the biological father of Wei Lanzhang?"
Xue Ke shook the letter and said, "I'm afraid something happened to the messenger on the way. I found a commoner from the countryside to deliver the letter, I guess it's not for asking for mercy."
He put the letter into his sleeve and got into the carriage as if nothing happened, followed closely by Xue Ling. Seeing Xue Ke opening the letter, Xue Ling didn't dare to say anything wrong. Then he saw Xue Ke's face became more and more solemn, and he burst out laughing like a tight string suddenly breaking.
"Okay...it's really good!" Xue Ke clenched the letter in his hand, his face became ferocious, he leaned out, pulled over the attendant accompanying the carriage, and said in a low voice: "Go and deliver the letter just now." If you kill me, don't let others know."
After saying this, he leaned back again, as if he was extremely comfortable, and said with a smile: "Wei Lanzhang wants to make enemies of the world this time. If he dies, I don't know how many people will die. If you want to applaud, you really can’t blame others.”
Xue Ling didn’t know why and asked: “Uncle, what does this mean?”
He turned his head and said with unclear meaning: “Do you hate Wei Lanzhang?”
Upon hearing this name, Xue Ling immediately smiled. Disgusted, he gritted his teeth and said: "I have suffered so much humiliation along the way, all thanks to him. Naturally, I hate it deeply. My uncle also knows it."
Xue Ke expected that he would say this, so he handed the box in his hand to He said: "Get off the carriage and burn it clean. It can be regarded as revenge for you and your sister."

Chapter 100
Xue Ling obeyed Xue Ke's wishes. He opened the box and took a look. There was a porcelain bottle and two packets of medicine inside, and it seemed that there was also a prescription written on it.
He randomly found a deserted place. Xue Ke saw him throwing things into the flames from a distance, and turned around with peace of mind.
He opened the porcelain bottle and threw it into the lotus pond, and the contents inside were burned by the flames along with the wooden box. He clenched his hands tightly, and his palms couldn't help but sweat, and his eyes stared directly at the dancing flames. Thinking that Wei Jie, an arrogant and seemingly unparalleled talent, was lost in the hands of an unknown person like him, Xue Ling's heart seemed to be lifted up, making him feel scared but unable to suppress it. Live happily in your heart.
If Wei Jie died, he would not only express his bad temper, but also save Xue Li from the fire and water. From then on, he would be Xue Li's benefactor. She should be able to make friends with him regardless of the past grudges, and maybe shed tears of gratitude to him.
Thinking of this, Xue Ling's last fear disappeared. It wasn't until he stared at those things burned to ashes that he gradually felt at ease.
The news about Shangjun always reached Luoyang much later. First, it was rumored that Marquis Pingyuan had captured the only son of King Junshan, and then it was said that someone had escaped. People far away in Luoyang could not tell the truth.
It was not easy for Xue Li to mention Zhao Ying to Wei Jie. Every time he had a calm face, he would torment her fiercely at night. Therefore, she only heard about Zhao Ying and Liang Yan.
It was sad to think that she met many people along the way and dispersed after wandering around. The one who always stayed with her was Wei Jie, who she thought was the most boring and boring at first.
Wei Yun had no intention of leaving Luoyang. The Wei family was in crisis, Wei Li was imprisoned, and Wei Zhi was unable to teach his son well. Although he was not dismissed, no one in the court trusted him. In addition, Wei Heng fell ill. He also had no place in the court.
Wei Jin, who had picked up her pearl flowers in the Wei Mansion and copied her homework for her, seemed to be from the fourth room of the Wei family. After the city was broken, Zhao Tong slaughtered all his family members.
People came to the palace again and again to invite Wei Jie into the palace, but he refused. Because Xue Li's foot injury was not healed, he wanted to stay with her. It seemed that after their reunion, Wei Jie loved to be by her side more than before, and he never wanted to waste a moment. It wasn't until the Xiahou family came to invite him in person that he was finally persuaded.
The qin that Wei Jie brought with him was broken when he was assassinated, and then Xue Li took it to someone to repair it. It was inevitably bumped during the turmoil. When Xue Li saw that his qin was broken again, he followed the old place and held it in his arms. Qin went to the old man to fix it.
In the study, Zhao Ji saw off the Taiwei, while Wei Jie remained where he was, looking at the gloomy sky thoughtfully.
"That little lady of yours is really not a lovable person." Zhao Ji couldn't help but say. "I don't know how you tolerated her."
Wei Jie glanced at him coolly, with a warning in his eyes. "Your Majesty, don't discuss my wife's merits behind my back."
Zhao Ji consciously kept silent and said, "I won't say anything, but there are still some things that need to be discussed with you, and they are related to the Xiahou family."
Zhao Ji said this He stopped and lowered his eyes to look at the pomegranate flower stuck on the table. I don't know what he thought of.
In order to take back the imperial power, he allowed the major families and clans to fight, letting the Xiahou family take the lead, and earned countless infamy in the name of a sycophant. However, the family is a thousand-year-old tree with roots and branches spreading hundreds of miles. It can only be suppressed temporarily, but it cannot be eradicated. If the family can be eliminated, the country of Qi will also be destroyed. When one is prosperous, both are prosperous; when one is lost, both are harmed. This has been the case throughout the ages.
It's just that they can't be eliminated, and they will have to work together in the future. This incident must have angered many prominent families, and someone must bear the anger and take all the blame.
Wei Jie knew what he meant and said calmly: "When the late Emperor was here, the Taiwei took over the important task of rejuvenating the country. He must have known his way out and would not embarrass His Majesty." "
I know, it's just..." Zhao Ji He showed unbearable expression, slowly tightened his fingers, and said in a low voice: "This move is unfair to the Xiahou family."
"The world is inherently unfair. The Xiahou family has enjoyed great glory in the court for many years and has eliminated many people for your majesty. The King of Junshan is He rebelled in the name of the Qing emperor to eliminate the Xiahou family. Everyone in the world hated the Xiahou family to the core, and the famous family suffered countless injuries. This hatred is difficult to eliminate, and the only way to wash away the blood is to wash away the blood. Your Majesty is not ignorant." Wei Jie's tone was calm, as if he was worried about it. This doesn't matter.
Zhao Ji had already guessed what Wei Jie would say, but he remained silent for a long time before nodding and saying, "What you're talking about is... I'm confused."
But before he could say more, he suddenly heard a violent cough. , even though Wei Jie tried his best to suppress it, he could still see that he was in great pain, and even the veins in his neck were clearly visible.
Zhao Ji hurriedly patted his back, poured tea and handed it to him. Then he remembered that Wei Jie was not used to other people's tea cups, so he put the tea cup back, and when he looked up at Wei Jie, The heart-wrenching coughing had stopped, and there seemed to be nothing unusual about him except that his face looked slightly pale.
There was a touch of surprise on Zhao Ji's face. He raised his finger and pointed at Wei Jie, and said blankly: "You...you coughed up blood?"
Wei Jie also paused, and then took out a plain handkerchief. Quickly wipe away the blush on your lips.
Zhao Ji looked worried and couldn't help but ask: "Still haven't found the antidote?"
"For the time being, we can only take medicine and I don't know how long it will last. We have already ordered people to check the doctors around Zhao Tong. It's just that with his temper, if I stab him once, he will definitely cut off my escape route and kill the doctor." Wei Jie was very clear about his fate, but his troops had already arrived in Luoyang, so he couldn't miss the opportunity. I had to put the detoxification matter aside. It's just that the longer the poison drags on the body, the more depleted it becomes. I don't know if I can wait until the day when the antidote is prepared.
Zhao Ji pursed his lips tightly and his face didn't look very good.
"Does Xue Li know about this?"
"She doesn't know. It would be better if the poison can be detoxified before she notices it. If I can't save myself in the end, it will be my fate, Wei Jie."
Zhao Ji frowned even more when he saw that he said it calmly. Tightened up, he said angrily: "I really don't understand who you are and who Xue Li is. I don't want to let go of the good days with unlimited scenery. I have nothing to say about you indulging in the mountains and rivers, but you have to stop here." She, if it weren't for her, why would you be in this situation?"
Wei Jie couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and said slightly impatiently: "I am willing to do this, what does it have to do with you."
Zhao Ji was blocked by him and could not speak. He could only wave his sleeves angrily and turn around.
"If I were you, I would never be held back by love." After he said angrily, Wei Jie just glanced at him and ignored him.
People in the world are too boring. As long as they live, they can't help themselves. Instead, death has become the simplest and happiest thing. It's just that the teachings he received in the Wei family since childhood seemed to be tightly bound by a rope, making him feel that the world was filthy, and if he was contaminated with drugs, he would not be able to escape, and would have to suffer in the secular world.
Xue Li broke his boundaries and squeezed in shamelessly and without rejection. He actually felt that it was not too bad. No matter how hard he was to be freed or how to suffer, it was good to be happy with her for a while.
After Xue Li sent the piano over, the old man saw that she was an old friend and invited her to sit down and drink some tea. When she went out, a dark cloud gathered above her head, pressing down gloomily, and the sky and the earth seemed like a dome. After a cup of tea, she saw that the sky was gray and the vegetation outside the court was swaying wildly in the wind, as if it was going to rain, so she stood up and left.
As soon as the carriage arrived in front of the mansion, the rain began to fall, and then the raindrops became heavier and heavier. Xue Li quickly ran back to the courtyard and immediately asked the waiter on the side: "Is your husband not back yet?"
"Yes."
Hearing this, Xue Li felt a little uneasy. Thinking that Wei Jie had caught wind and cold in the past two days and could not catch cold, he asked someone to fry his medicine first.
It rained when the sun was at its peak, and the ground was evaporated with a sultry atmosphere, mixed with the fragrance of vegetation and the fishy smell of earth. Xue Li was so bored in the room that he simply put up the windows, moved the small table and cushions to the corridor, sat under the eaves and waited for Wei Jie to come back, while reading books related to merchants.
The state of Qi has always been low on merchants, so these kinds of books were not respected by scholars and were difficult to find in bookstores. Fortunately, Wei Jie collected a lot of them for her.
Now Xue Ke's wife and he were separated during the war, and their two sons are nowhere to be found. The money in his hands will always fall into her hands in the future, but she can't trust such a ruthless person like Xue Ke. After finding a way to take over the shipping and gambling business from him in the future, she asked her mother-in-law to get the divorce letter as soon as possible and then find a good marriage for her. If her mother-in-law was not willing, she would be free in the future It is better to be a single woman than to suffer in the Xue clan.
The cool breeze blew through his clothes. Xue Li leaned on the table and read a book. He gradually became sleepy. It was not until he caught a glimpse of a figure in the corner of his eye after a long time that he sat up and looked at the visitor.
In the hazy rain and fog, Wei Jie gradually approached holding an umbrella. His pale clothes were slightly wet, and the dark water stains were soaked away. The rain was falling hard and fast, but he seemed calm and leisurely, approaching her slowly, making her heart gradually calm down.
Through the layers of rain, Wei Jie also saw her, and for no reason remembered that it was raining the day they first met. Her hair was slightly damp, her eyes were moist, and she was standing under an umbrella, quietly looking at him.
Later, he gave her a ride and sent her back to the house. He still didn't have much impression of her. Even if he was flirted with by her later, he only felt contempt in his heart. When he thought of her name, he couldn't help but feel a wave of "no" in his heart. Clear irritability. Unexpectedly, he was the one who kept entangled in the end and refused to let go.
"Mother Oriole." He closed his umbrella, and the rain was blown in by the wind
. The sour and bitter taste spread, making him silent for no reason.
Xue Li always allows him to experience various tastes.
Wei Jie leaned down, and her cold hair swept across Xue Li's cheek. She supported her arms and stood up slightly to match the kiss.
After a while, Xue Li's face turned red and he pushed Wei Jie away to calm his breathing. Then he seemed to remember something and said, "The medicine should be cooked. I'll have someone bring it up."
Wei Jie nodded and said yes, but his eyes were lowered. Go down.
After a while, the waiter brought the soup, which was almost dark. When Xue Li smelled the pungent and bitter smell, he immediately frowned and held his breath. Wei Jie drank it all in one gulp without changing his expression, as if he were drinking water.
She asked curiously: "What is your tongue made of? Do you really feel no pain?"
He pushed the medicine bowl away as if nothing had happened. "
No matter how painful it is, it will only last for a moment." The rain showed no sign of letting up. The raindrops were blown to the bottom of the eaves by the wind. Xue Li's shoulders were already wet unknowingly. Wei Jie stood up and wanted to pull her up, but who knew Just as he stood up, he suddenly staggered and fell forward. Xue Li hurriedly helped him steady. Wei Jie hugged her, resting his chin on her shoulder and sighed softly.
Xue Li patted his back and said, "Why can't you stand still? Are you tired? Let's go have a rest."
He closed his eyes and said, "You have to accompany me when I rest."
"That's natural."
