The days in the Xiao residence were very quiet.

Qiu Moyan sent two palace maids to take care of her daily life. During the day, Mu Qingyi would come to teach her homework, and most of the time he would accompany her and take care of her, which was also a deterrent to the Xiao family.

Tell Xiao Ji that there is the East Palace and the Mu Mansion behind her.

Xiao Ji is very busy, so busy during the day that there is no one around, but he will come back at dinner time, and then call her over to eat together, torture her a little bit, not limited to let her serve tea and water, grind ink and sweep, Most of the time, they call her when they think of something.

Xiao Ji's hatred for Qiu's royal family has long been fused into his blood, and he can't take revenge for the time being, so it is only logical to torture the enemy's daughter.

Changge did this in silence. Most of the time, she watched all this soberly and indifferently, and seldom spoke. Xiao Ji himself didn't like words. The two of them were alone in the room, doing their own things, so It's all right.

Time flies, and it will soon be the end of the year.

She had been in the Xiao Mansion for half a year, and the maids around her would send letters back to the East Palace every day, and Qiu Moyan knew her situation well, but she still asked for orders to let her return to the East Palace for New Year's Eve.

Changge refused.The day she left the East Palace, she knew clearly that she could only choose one of the three.If Dong Gong can't go back, he will die in Xiao Mansion in this life.

"I heard that you rejected His Majesty's will, are you going to return to the East Palace for the New Year at the end of the year?" In the evening, Xiao Ji came back from the outside with a chill all over his body, took off his black crane cloak, and asked her thoughtfully.

Changge lowered her eyes and nodded, holding the silver to stir the charcoal fire in the basin to make them burn more vigorously, she moved the brazier towards Xiao Ji, and let the charcoal fire warm the chill on his body.

The cold winter in Shengdu makes people feel chills. Sometimes she misses the floor heating in the manor, the black camellia in the courtyard, and the tinkling bells on the porch...

The servants brought the dinner, five dishes, and a jug of wine.

Xiao Ji looked down at her, she will be 14 years old after the new year, the girl's figure is as soft as a willow in spring, she has no makeup and clothes, and her long black hair can't hide her soft waist, but her eyebrows and eyes are too indifferent, and her facial features are not yet mature. It grows long, but its face is like snow.

She doesn't speak most of the time, hoping to reduce her sense of existence, but she doesn't know that she just needs to sit there quietly, and she is the eyes of everyone chasing.

Xiao Ji was faintly irritated: "Why don't you go back?"

She should happily go back to the palace for the new year, denounce him for his evil deeds in the past six months in front of Qiu Moyan, cry pear blossoms with rain, and be charming... instead of staying in the Xiao mansion calmly and indifferently to accompany him for the new year.

He has always celebrated New Years by himself.There is nothing in this world that is worthy of joy and expectation, only hatred.

Changge served him a bowl of fish soup. The chef in Xiao's mansion is a master at making fish soup. She doesn't like meat and usually likes to be vegetarian, but she can drink fish soup. bowl.

"It's too cold." She buried her head in her meal and gave a reason casually.

lie.In winter, the East Palace is full of earth dragons. He knew that she was afraid of the cold. In winter, she would either warm up or warm up, and would not even take a step out of the room.

He even thought about finding a craftsman to lay the ground dragon next spring, but he quickly strangled this idea in the cradle. The northern land was ten times colder than Sheng, so he didn't feel anything, how could he be the daughter of the enemy? consider.

"Then stay for the New Year, and get used to it early."

Chang Ge paused while drinking fish soup, his eyes drooped silently, and there was no future.After he reached a cooperation with Qiu Moyan, rehabilitated the Xiao family, made Emperor Zhaoxin pay the price for his mistakes, and resolved his hostility, she would forcibly leave the dream and leave this life.

Qiu Moyan would send secret guards to deliver letters to her every seven days, telling her about the recent important affairs of the court one by one, and Xiao Ji did not shy away from her when discussing matters in the mansion.

She knew that because Emperor Zhaoxin was obsessed with the art of longevity, he ate a lot of pills every day, and his body was severely depleted, and the power in his hands was gradually overshadowed by Qiu Moyan and Xiao Ji.

She is waiting, waiting for the most suitable opportunity.

But the time didn't come, and when the snow fell heavily in winter, she fell ill due to the cold air entering her body.

Over the past few years in Qiu Moyan's dormitory, her body has been raised a little too delicately. There is no earth dragon in Xiao's residence. Even if there are two or three braziers burning in the house, people who go in and out will still catch cold easily, not to mention she doesn't like to wear too thick clothes The Jiaao, who went back and forth like this, immediately had a high fever and fell into a coma.

Her head was burning so dizzy that she even had the illusion that her soul had left her body and died of illness.

The two personal maids were in a panic, crying and looking for the doctor, relying on her remaining consciousness, she told them not to pass the news of her illness back to the East Palace.

The alliance between Qiu Moyan and Xiao Ji is very fragile, they can turn against each other at any time, one thing more is worse than one thing less.

When she was burning and confused, someone put an ice handkerchief on her forehead and gently fed her medicine. She smelled the aroma from the tip of her nose, the smell of ice and snow, the snow outside should be heavy, and the fragrance of herbs , is Mu Qingyi.

He wears a medicine bag around his waist all the year round, which contains herbs prepared by himself.

In the middle of the night, she woke up a little bit, opened her eyes with difficulty, and saw Mu Qingyi sitting outside boiling medicine, with a handsome and gentle side face, just like the mountains and rivers she saw, there was a calming power in the silence.

Seeing that she was awake, Mu Qingyi breathed a sigh of relief, went into the inner room, helped her change the veil again, and said in a hoarse voice, "Xiao Changge, is there something wrong?"

Changge was slightly stunned. It was the first time he called her Xiao Changge, but in fact he couldn't be older than her.

"Is it burnt?" Mu Qingyi saw that her face was flushed red and she looked stupid, so she reached out to touch her forehead and wiped the sweat from her temples.

She blinked, and he smiled slightly when he saw this, with gentle warmth in his brows and eyes.

"The medicine is ready, and you won't feel uncomfortable after drinking it. I also brought you candied fruit. Your brother said that you really like green plums and various candied fruit, but you eat very restrained.

A little lady at your age should eat what she likes, be happy every day, and do what she wants to do. There is no need to think about those important court affairs, which have little to do with you. "

Mu Qingyi couldn't help babbling, brought the boiled herbal medicine, blew it to cool down, and fed her the medicine, lest she suffer from pain, every two mouthfuls, he stuffed her with a sweet candied fruit.

The mouth is bitter, but the candied fruit is sweet.She drank the medicine quietly, her eyes couldn't help but bend.

"It's too sweet." She said in a low voice, her voice was hoarse and dry, "Why are you here? It's not good to be seen."

"I'm still a half-doctor. Now that the gate of the palace is locked, and His Royal Highness hasn't received any news, I came here. Don't worry, Xiao Ji is not in the mansion. He went out of the city to train troops today."

Mu Qingyi moved the brazier beside the bed, and said in a low voice, "Sleep peacefully, I'll be here with you."
