On the second day, it turned out that only Shao Ziqing was kneeling in the courtyard. Although Shao Jiang and the Jiang family came with them, Cui Eunuch said that the Queen Mother had exempted them from punishment for Jiang Zuiyao's sake. Although the two elders

They each took a deep breath, glad that they no longer had to endure this torture, but when they looked at Shao Ziqing who was kneeling on the ground, their expressions turned ugly.

From morning to noon, I knelt alone like that. In the end, it was Shao Ziqing who was slapped.

In this way, one day, two days, ten days, and twenty days passed, until Jiang Zuiyao was out of confinement, and only Shao Ziqing was being punished. Day after day, Eunuch Cui came every day, and the same scene as yesterday was staged.

, never tired.

As soon as noon passed, Jiang Zuiyao settled her children and waited until Shao Ziqing left before coming out. She looked at the sunshine and smiled brightly: "It's been a long time since I've seen such a beautiful sun."

Xiyun held Jiang Zuiyao's hand and said with a smile: "Master can't go out during confinement, so naturally he can't see the sun. Now it's better. Master can come out whenever he wants. It's the autumn breeze, so

Kong Nunu will go for a walk along the river with you, the scenery is nice."

Jiang Zuiyao walked out of the courtyard with a smile. That springy smile on her face was something she hadn't seen for a long time. She seemed to have forgotten all the troubles that had tortured her, and it was as if the bloody storm during her delivery had never happened.

Also, from beginning to end, Jiang Zuiyao never asked Shao Ziqing how he was doing. Even if Eunuch Cui was beaten to death, he probably wouldn't even blink an eye.

After leaving the door of Shao's house, Jiang Zuiyao headed towards Nanxian Hall, entered the courtyard, and finally saw Qin Feng.

Jiang Zuiyao walked over with a smile and said: "I finally saw you. It's really not easy. I didn't thank you for saving my life back then."

Qin Feng looked at Jiang Zuiyao and blinked, but he didn't take it to heart and said, "Everything is done according to the master's arrangements. If Madam wants to thank you, just go and thank my master."

"How can that be done?" While speaking, Jiang Zuiyao saluted Qin Feng and said, "Thank you Master Qin for saving your life. If there is a chance in the future, I will repay you with a spring of water and live up to the kindness you showed me that day.

"

This profound thank you made Qin Feng a little embarrassed. He scratched his head with a smile, pointed in the direction of the room and said: "Master is resting inside. Come in quickly."

Jiang Zuiyao smiled and nodded. She walked up the steps and was about to push the door open when Qin Nanxian's voice rang through the door: "Feng'er, why don't you let someone know that someone is coming?"

It seems that Qin Nanxian heard the conversation between Jiang Zuiyao and Qin Feng.

Such a reply seemed a bit unfamiliar.

In the past, when Jiang Zuiyao came, she would come in and out of Qin Nanxian's room at will. What happened today...

Qin Feng hurried to the door and shouted: "Master, Jiang Zuiyao is here. I don't think there is any need to announce her arrival."

As soon as he finished speaking, the room fell silent. Jiang Zuiyao thought that Qin Nanxian would definitely let her in. Just when she was about to say something, Qin Nanxian said: "I'm tired and want to rest alone. I won't do it today."

Receive guests.”

…

A door completely shortens the distance between two people.

If she doesn't accept guests, Qin Nanxian treats her as Jiang Zuiyao as a guest? They are friends in need!

Jiang Zuiyao immediately became anxious: "Qin Nanxian, what's wrong with you? I came here specifically to thank you for saving your life, why don't you see me?"

The voice in the room was a bit muffled, as if he was facing the wall and said: "I have already laid down. It is inconvenient to see guests. You can go."

Nothing unpleasant had ever happened between the two of them. Jiang Zuiyao knew that it must have been her attitude towards him that day at Zuiyao Pavilion that made him worry.

It's been so long and he still hasn't let go?

Jiang Zuiyao was left hanging at the door, at a loss.

To be honest, if Jiang Zuiyao forced her way in, Qin Nanxian wouldn't do anything to her, and having a few intimate words with her might not be enough to coax him.

But Jiang Zuiyao didn't do that.

Some things are matters of principle.

Between him and Qin Nanxian, anything could happen, except for feelings, nothing was possible.

If Jiang Zuiyao said soft words today, it would make Qin Nanxian think that she has feelings for him. She must tell him clearly that the relationship between her and him is just friendship and nothing more.

So Jiang Zuiyao did not open the door, but just replied: "If you don't want to see me, I won't force you, but you saved my life. I will definitely keep this kindness in my heart and repay it in the future!"

I brought some things over for a visit and left them at the door. When I leave, you can let Qin Feng take them in."

Linghui put the large and small parcels in her hands at the door. Jiang Zuiyao turned to Qin Feng and said, "There are cakes that Qin Nanxian likes to eat, as well as red ginseng and white lotus to nourish the body. I saw that he never leaves his folding fan all day long.

I asked someone to find a good one in the palace, and I'd like to ask you to send it in later."

Although the voice was small, Qin Nanxian heard it and said through the door: "Come and see me if you can, and take your things back."

Jiang Zuiyao ignored him, but his face was already ugly, and he only talked to Qin Feng: "These two packages are for you. The Queen Mother rewarded me with a piece of bamboo leaf and green cloth, so I sent it to you. I don't know your size.

You find a tailor shop to make clothes, which will happen to be suitable for winter, and there are also some good things to mend your body. On weekdays, I always rush back and forth to help your master with things, and I am in a hurry, so don't forget to mend your body."

Qin Feng nodded and said, "Thank you, madam."

Immediately, Jiang Zuiyao said nothing. All her enthusiasm was dispelled by Qin Nanxian's words. She turned around, walked down the steps, and left.

When Jiang Zuiyao's footsteps could no longer be heard, Qin Nanxian hurriedly opened the door, looked at the silence in the courtyard, and asked, "Is she gone?"

Qin Feng nodded.

Qin Nanxian asked with disappointment and hope: "She is really gone?"

Qin Feng nodded again: "Master, if you really leave, if you want to chase me, you still have time."

The figure standing in the threshold obviously moved slightly. Qin Nanxian didn't want to chase him, but he still shook his head: "That's it, let's go."

He entered the room with a sad face, and fell listlessly on the wicker chair, his face ashen.

Qin Feng took in the things Jiang Zuiyao brought, turned around and asked: "Master, these are all sent by her, don't you take a look?"

Qin Nanxian shook his head: "Everyone is gone, so what's the point of looking at those lifeless things."

Qin Feng opened the cloth bag and found an exquisite brocade box. He opened it and exclaimed: "What a beautiful folding fan."

Although Qin Nanxian said that, he couldn't help but got up, walked over and took out the folding fan from the brocade box.

Gold and jade silk threads are gathered into pendants, green and blue paper is spread on the fan, and fine sandalwood and jade bones are used. Qin Nanxian's plain jade hands gently unfold, and a picture of the Eight Immortals crossing the sea comes into view, which is lifelike and lively.

The scenery on the fan is swaying gently, and the cool breeze blows, like the fairy butterfly coming from the sky, shaking the fragrance of thousands of trees and flowers.

Qin Nanxian tightened the folding fan in his hand, and it was obvious that he liked it very much.
