In mid-summer, late at night, the heat has not dissipated.

When Gao Minglou came back, it was already late at night, but Xin Yi did not fall asleep. He asked Xing Yuan to make a pot of medicinal tea brought back from the pharmacy and sit by the open window to drink it slowly.

The aroma of tea was light and elegant. Gao Minglou glared at Lu E and walked over to knock on the door.

"Come in." Xin Yi looked over calmly, his eyes were dark and unfocused.

Gao Minglou frowned, waved his hand to signal the girl to go down and sit opposite her.

"Why haven't you slept yet?"

Xin Yi stretched out his hand towards the cool breeze by the window: "It's hot in the room and I can't sleep."

Gao Minglou paused for a moment. When he saw Xin Yi getting up and trying to pour him tea, he quickly stopped him. He filled a cup and drank it. His brows moved slightly, and he looked at her for a moment with unclear emotions, and then said calmly:

"I have been busy these days and have neglected you. It will be difficult to stay in the inn every day. If you like to go to the pharmacy, go and walk with them more often."

Xin Yi asked: "Brother, do you trust me so much?"

When Gao Minglou said in the Yao Que Hall that Ayima was his biological sister, Xin Yi changed her name from then on.

Gao Minglou was not comfortable at first, but after listening to it more, he got used to it.

"So what if you don't worry? Since you are going to marry Fu Jiuqu, sooner or later you will have to adapt to life in the Song Dynasty."

Xin Yi pursed his lips and looked out the window with an unclear expression, "I said that I will never forget my brother's life-saving grace."

Outside the window is a small courtyard against a green wall. It is not large in area. There are woody trees, green bamboos and bananas. Clusters of woody trees crawl on the wall, exuding a strong floral fragrance. Bamboo leaves and bananas are swaying in the breeze.

, very quiet.

Gao Minglou was silent for a moment, "Why don't you use me to leave early and come home late recently? What are you doing?"

Xin Yi smiled slightly, "Brother is a person who does big things. He naturally has his own things to do. How can I ask?"

Gao Minglou smiled for a moment, his dark eyes staring intently at Xin Yi's delicate little face. He didn't know what he was thinking, and the corners of his mouth raised a cool arc that seemed to be mocking.

"Aima."

"Um."

"I will take you back to Dali."

Xin Yi seemed a little surprised and looked at him intently with a faint smile, "Why did my brother say that?"

"Ayima, you are a smart girl. You should be able to see that I don't like Song people, and I don't want you to stay in Song Dynasty. Moreover, you know your identity very well. You are not my biological sister...

"

"Then what do you want to say, young master?"

Gao Minglou looked at her quietly.

"When I finish my business, I will take you away."

"But……"

"Dali's credentials are already on the way." Gao Minglou didn't wait for her to ask, then changed the subject, "The daughter of Dali's prime minister will marry the prince of Guangling."

"I don't understand. Since we are married, how can I return to Dali?"

"You don't need to understand. You just need to remember... By then, even if I am willing to leave you in Bianjing, Bianjing will not be able to accommodate you. Ayima, you can only come with me."

Gao Minglou's tone was calm, and there was something familiar about Xin Yi in his words, but his words were unclear.

It was as if we were not preparing for a marriage between Dali and Song Dynasty, but preparing to dig a grave in Bianjing and wait for a feast of death.

Xin Yi suddenly asked slowly: "Brother, have you heard about Fan Lou's case? In such a big wine shop, with so many corpses, how many people must be killed, think about it, it's really scary."

She was talking like a gossip, and her voice was whispering, but Gao Minglou's brows wrinkled again, and his face looked a little uglier than before.

"There are many guards in the posthouse. You don't have to be afraid of this. Go to bed early."

Seeing him stand up and leave, Xin Yi seemed to be slow to react, touched the table, stood up, and saluted him.

"Brother, go slow."

The door closed again.

Xin Yi heard Gao Minglou telling Hong Yu and Lu E outside to protect the girl, silently looked at the open window and courtyard wall, and asked Xing Yuan to come in and wait for him to wash up and go to bed.

"After turning off the lights, you and Taoyu will stay outside. You are not allowed to come in without my greeting."

Xingyuan was stunned for a moment, "Girl..."

"Follow your orders."

"yes."

The lights in the room went out, and darkness enveloped the small courtyard. There were patrolling soldiers walking around in the dim lights under the eaves. As Gao Minglou said, this post house is very safe. Except for the envoys from various countries, they all have their own guards and guards.

Soldiers, the Song Dynasty court also patrolled the perimeter, and no permission was allowed. Not even a fly could fly in...

In the middle of the night, the wind picked up and the firelight flickered in the lantern.

A dark figure tumbled in from the window, and was hugged tightly by Xin Yi, who rushed out from the stabbing side. His expression froze.

"Why didn't you sleep?"

"Brother Ninth, I've been waiting for you for a long time..."

Fu Jiuqu's head suddenly felt hot, so he just instinctively closed the window, then hugged the person in front of him who he missed so much, tightly into his arms, lowered his head and pecked her gently.

"Eleven, how did you expect that I would come?"

Xin Yi whispered: "Just as you expected that I would go to Xin Yi Pharmacy."

Fu Jiuqu chuckled, "Are you really not a fairy?"

"Hmm... I guess I'm half a goblin."

When going to Daxiangguo Temple, Xinyi threw away the red beans and green calyx and went to Xinyi Medicine Shop.

As expected, Fu Jiuqu was waiting for her there. The two met in a hurry, checked each other's clues and ideas, and then said goodbye quickly, without having time to say more about some things.

"Why would you want to help Cao Yilan? I remember you hate her the most."

"That was before." Xin Yi glanced at him, "After all, I have the man she asked for, so I think it's a kind of compensation."

Fu Jiuqu let go of his arm and pinched her face in a funny way.

"Then why do you think that Cai Qi will not reconcile with Cao Yilan?"

Xin Yi raised his eyebrows and looked at him with a half-smile.

"Aren't you men all like this? You eat from the bowl and look at the pot. You are only allowed to go out and have fun, but your wives are not allowed to have ulterior motives, let alone leave you..."

Fu Jiuqu:……

He thought to himself that it was all his fault that bastard Cai Qi caused his reputation.

Xin Yi was laughing secretly in his heart.

After returning this time, she found the planning script and studied it carefully several times, and she was certain that the woman Cai Qi liked was Cao Yilan.

Even if there are variables in the story and the butterfly effect, Cai Qi will probably not be able to escape from the character design, just like Princess Fukang will be obsessed with the male advocate Xun.

The trajectory of the character determines that Cai Qi will not change his heart easily. Even if he is burdened by marriage and fascinated by beauty, his heart will still be with Cao Yilan in the end.

But she did not explain these things to Fu Jiuqu.

"Okay, okay, first tell me how the Fan Lou case is progressing? And what's going on with Zhang Xun? Let's put this matter together and figure out what to do..."

Time was running out, and Xinyi had no time to have a romantic relationship with Fu Jiuqu, but it was obvious that the Prince of Guangling County was dissatisfied with this.

He tightened his hands, and before Xin Yi had time to react, his whole body shook, his mind was spinning, and he suddenly took her into his arms, tightly restrained her, and then they all fell into the couch under the window sill.

"Brother Ninth, you..."

"Shh!"

"What to do? Hmm... hate..."

Fu Jiuqu secretly left the post house at the fourth watch, and Sun Huai was outside to meet him.

After getting on the carriage, Fu Jiuqu closed his eyes and took a nap. Sun Huai didn't know what kind of benefits his master got from the young lady that night. The smile on the corners of his lips was so sweet that he almost died of boredom in it.

"Master, have you met the little lady?"

"Um."

"What did my husband and wife say? They are so happy..."

Fu Jiuqu opened his eyes suddenly and pierced him with his sharp eyes. Sun Huai coughed lightly and realized that he had asked something he shouldn't have asked. He reached out and slapped his cheek lightly.

"The little one is talkative and talkative. But, Master, please feel sorry for the little one. The little one is so curious that he can't even eat or sleep..."

Fu Jiuqu looked at him coldly and hummed, "Ask me."

Sun Huai chuckled and said, "The young lady said that ginseng kills no one. What does it mean? Could you please Master Jiu to explain the mystery to me?"

Fu Jiuqu half-closed his eyes and said calmly: "Because the Fan Lou case involves the eldest princess, those people are dead as well. Those who kill people are doing nothing wrong to eliminate harm for the people."

Sun Huai muttered it in his mouth and thought about it for a while, then he suddenly realized it.
