Qin Shuihan had no intention of handling the official business on the desk.
He flipped through several urgent documents and forced himself to calm down and deal with them.
The night watch sounded and it was late at night.
"master."
Xuanfeng walked to Qin Shuihan carrying the bird's nest handed over by the maid.
Qin Shuihan sighed and drank the bird's nest in one gulp.
This is the nourishing product that Mousste asked Xiao Qi to bring to him.
"Master, it's late at night——"
Qin Shuihan hummed and waved to Xuanfeng.
"Please step back. I still have some official duties to attend to today."
Xuanfeng glanced at the official business in front of Qin Shuihan. It was exactly the same as before.
The master lied.
Is it because of that commoner woman?
Xuanfeng withdrew and still stood silently outside the door.
Qin Shuihan sighed.
He knew that his emotions were wrong. Today's commoner woman left an indelible impression on him.
She had a delicate little face, no makeup, and even though she was dressed simply, but in good conscience, she was indeed one of the few beauties he had ever seen.
But what shocked him was not her beauty, but her cold and fearless aura, which was exactly the same as Yiyi.
The most important thing is why did she know that sentence?
That was what Yiyi said when she replied to her confession. Apart from herself and Yiyi, no one else in the world could know.
Qin Shuihan closed his eyes, puzzled.
Suddenly he regretted, why didn't he catch her then?
You'll know once you're taken to the dungeon and asked.
He opened his eyes and paced in the study.
People can't be resurrected. Even if he misses Yiyi again, he can't think of an unknown face as hers!
But he couldn't understand the familiar feeling.
Qin Shuihan's pace became faster and faster, and he was overwhelmed by the Xuan Feng outside the door.
Xuanfeng didn't know what was wrong with his master, so he didn't rest in the middle of the night and just locked himself in the study, just like he did when the princess died half a year ago.
He stood at the door hesitating, should he invite King Yi over?
Just when he was hesitating, Qin Shuihan walked out.
However, he did not go back to his own yard, but walked towards Jinghan Pavilion.
Danger signals flashed in Xuanfeng's mind.
Oops, there is definitely something wrong with the master today!
Since the death of the princess, he has never been to Jinghan Pavilion!
Xuanfeng immediately went to Li Shang and told him to invite King Yi to his house as soon as possible.
Stepping into Jinghan Pavilion again, Qin Shuihan also felt a little bit incredible.
It's been more than half a year, why do you dare to step into this room today.
Looking at everything familiar in the room, the laughter and laughter of the past came to mind again.
He touched the rice paper on the table.
The ink on the side has long dried.
Although the brush was spotless, its hair had exploded due to age.
Qin Shuihan was dissatisfied. Is this the so-called staying the same?
He frowned and sat down at the desk.
The shape of a horseshoe is drawn on the rice paper in front of me.
He couldn't help but flip through the stack of rice paper.
There are also calligraphy that Lin Yi usually practices.
One pair for life people.
Seeing these words again, Qin Shuihan's heart hurt again.
"Yiyi..."
Why is this life so short, like a flash in the pan?
He turned the page and looked at the other contents.
It is covered with Yiyi's neat but ugly handwriting.
Qin Shuihan knew that Lin Yi also wanted to practice calligraphy well, but unfortunately she was smart in everything but seemed to have no talent in writing.
He smiled bitterly and turned to look at the big bed again.
Yiyi likes to stay in bed when she has nothing to do, and insists on pulling her to sleep with her. Her kitten-like figure is so soft that she can't bear to be pinched.
But since the burial, he has not dared to come to this yard again.
Even if she passed away, he ordered his servants to clean her house every day, as if she was still with him.
Why do you have the courage to come here today, just because of the woman you met during the day?
Who is she?
I do not know how long it has been.
Qin Shuihan came back to his senses and sat in front of the window, imagining the scenery Yiyi saw through the window.
A light slowly lit up in the sky.
The night was gradually torn apart by this light, and it was a new day.
Qin Shuihan calmed down and said outside the window: "Come in, I'm fine."
Creak——
Qin Yi walked in holding his breath. He carefully looked at Qin Shuihan's expression.
After hearing Li Shang's report just now, he immediately picked up his court clothes and rushed over without stopping.
Unexpectedly, Fifth Brother had the courage to go to Jinghan Pavilion.
He didn't dare to disturb, so he could only wait quietly outside.
"Fifth brother, are you really okay?"
Qin Shuihan's face was calm, and he just swept his face gently.
After all, there are still relatives in this world who care about me.
Just when Qin Shuihan stood up and was about to leave.
The warm morning breeze blew the rice paper.
Listening to this voice, Qin Shuihan was startled and remembered Lin Yi's previous paintings.
That painting!
The person in the painting!
Suddenly Qin Shuihan walked towards the bookcase next to him like crazy.
"Fifth brother!"
"painting!"
Qin Shuihan dug out everything in the cabinet.
He remembered that Lin Yi carefully stuffed the painting into the cabinet. At that time, he was curious as to why she wanted to treasure a portrait of a woman. Now that he thought about it, was there any reason? !
"Fifth brother! What painting?"
Seeing the hysterical Qin Shuihan, Qin Yi mobilized all his nerves. Will fifth brother go crazy again?
Qin Shuihan had no time to explain, he just wanted to find the painting.
After searching for a long time, he finally found it.
In that painting, Yiyi once said that the person in the painting was very important to her, but she also said that this person never existed.
He spread the painting on the table and was horrified to see that this woman was so similar to the commoner woman!
"Xuanfeng!"
Xuanfeng, who was guarding the door, was so frightened by his shout that his legs weakened. He immediately took a deep breath and walked into the house.
"Look, this painting is very similar to a single woman?"
Xuanfeng looked at the paintings spread on the table.
"Master, it's...somewhat similar."
He didn't understand who this woman was and why his master asked this question.
"Go find that woman immediately!"
"yes!"
After Lin Yi left Prince Han's Mansion yesterday, she felt like a wandering soul not knowing where to go.
Penniless and hungry, she wandered aimlessly late into the night.
Her sadness finally turned into exhaustion. She was so sleepy that she had no choice but to go to the abandoned Lin Mansion.
At least she lived there for a while.
Lin Yi climbed over the side door with ease and walked to his yard.
The big trees that used to be in the yard have long since been burned down to only the dry roots. The surrounding areas are overgrown with weeds, and there are only a few black walls left in his house.
If I had known today, I wouldn't have burned this place down, maybe I could have stayed here for a few more days.
She huddled in the corner, hugged her legs and passed away.
Suddenly, there was a slight sound of footsteps all around.
Lin Yi woke up immediately. Could there be a thief in this abandoned Lin Mansion?
She touched her head instinctively.
Depend on!
There is not even a hairpin on the head.
Forget it, there's nothing to be afraid of now if you feel discouraged.
Lin Yi stretched his muscles.
This is her own body, let's fight to the death.
Lin Yi greeted him.
"Ghost!"
A childish voice sounded.
By the moonlight, Lin Yi saw the two children shivering and clinging to each other.
It turned out to be two little brats.
"You are the ghost!"
Lin Yi was unwilling to be frightened by two children, but she was determined to die and prepared to go out and fight.
"Brother, this person has a shadow."
It turns out the little one is a girl.
Lin Yi looked up at the moon. It was really big and round.
It's a pity that in such a beautiful time, I am in a ruins without knowing where I am.
The two little kids in front of her were somehow so miserable, and ended up living in this ruins like her.
Lin Yi knelt down and looked at them.
"This is the former General Lin's Mansion. How did you end up here?"
The two children relaxed when they saw that this person was not a ghost, but a sister with a nice voice.
The younger brother said: "My sister and I came from northern Xinjiang to join our relatives. After my father passed away, there was no one left in the family."
Northern Xinjiang?
Lin Yi thought for a moment and seemed to have heard Shui Han say that a child was missing in the north.
Turns out they were from there.
"Then you are lost?"
"We walked all the way and used up all the money we had. We haven't eaten for three days... I wonder if my sister can give us something to eat..."
The little boy looked at Lin Yi tremblingly.
Lin Yi looked at him expressionlessly. She had never seen such a lack of eyesight. Did she seem to be someone who didn't have to worry about food?
She was half-dead from hunger, but the two children in front of her had not eaten for three days, and they seemed to be more pitiful than herself.
"Sister, think of a way..."
Lin Yi scratched his head and simply sat on the ground and began to meditate.
The little boy still hugged the little girl tightly, because the little girl's body was very hot.
Although he didn't understand the disease, he felt that his sister was unwell.
Suddenly, the little girl slowly fell into the little boy's arms.
"Yu'er, Yu'er!"
Lin Yi quickly stood up and picked her up.
Faint from hunger?
wrong!
Why is my body so hot?
She touched the little girl's forehead, but she didn't expect the fever to be so severe!
Oops, she needs to be treated immediately.
"Your sister has a fever and needs to be cooled down quickly."
The little boy stared at Lin Yi as if he didn't understand. He didn't understand what a fever was.
"Sister, please save Yu'er! In our village, many children disappear inexplicably every autumn and winter. My sister and I tried our best to escape from there... but - anyway, I must take good care of Yu'er! "
The little boy was a little incoherent.
Lin Yi had no time to care. She picked up the little girl and ran to the street without saying a word.
It was quiet all around.
She looked around and saw some lights in the distance.
At least there's someone there, let's go over there first.
Lin Yi ran out of breath, panting like a pug.
The little boy behind her turned out to be a little man, and he ran after her without saying a word.
Unfortunately, when I walked in, I found it was a brothel.
Looking from the outside, the courtyard is full of singing and dancing, making it a bustling scene.
It’s really a great place to have a good time drinking and having fun.
The fireworks woman under the lights is very beautiful. She is not as flattering and catering to men as shown on TV, but more like showing off her singing and dancing skills.
Lin Yi blinked, it turned out that the ancient fireworks woman looked like this!
When the little boy saw Lin Yi stop walking, he couldn't help shouting: "Sister? Will the people here save Yu'er?"
Lin Yi sighed, she didn't know either.
But the little girl in her arms was almost dying of fever, and she didn't know where to find a doctor at night.
Now she naturally can't get over the memory in her mind. After all, she is not the daughter of General Lin's family.
"Little brother, don't be nervous, we have to give it a try. What if we meet a good person?"
"Daddy said children shouldn't go to places full of lanterns. There are no good people here."
"..."
Lin Yi glanced at the little boy. He had a good tutor, but he needed to experience a beating from society.
"Your father should have told you that girls can't go to places where there is entertainment and entertainment."
The little boy clenched his fists.
"Sister, why don't we leave here?"
"No, we have to find a side entrance."
