Chapter 16
Bai Kou said: "Miss, what's wrong with you? Are you injured somewhere else?"

After hearing this, Qin Shuangjiang came back to her senses completely. She looked away calmly. Bai Kou had already given her the medicine. She then shook her head, gently closed her half-tied clothes, and said, "No. , you go out first, I want to be alone for a while."

Xu knew that she was in a bad mood. Although Bai Kou was worried, he did not disturb her anymore. He got up, packed the medicine box, saw the gift, and went out.

The next day, Yan Xu'an was not at the prime minister's mansion. According to Bai Kou, he just sent Qin Shuangjiang back to the mansion and then returned to the Forbidden Garden.

Come to think of it, Zhao Ziyu's matter probably also needs to be dealt with. If it were another dignitary, of course it could be handed over to Dali Temple directly. But in any case, Zhao Ziyu is the legitimate prince. Although he is not close to the late emperor, there are still many problems nowadays. Comparable in power.

As the real person in power behind the scenes, Yan Xu'an is suspected to have something to do with this matter, so he will definitely come forward.

into the night.

The night was slightly cooler, and the silence outside the window was as eerie as ever.

Tonight, Yan Xu'an did not come back all night. Qin Shuangjiang was lying on the bed. When he slept until midnight, he was woken up by a sharp pain.

There was a tearing pain in her chest, as if it was about to break out of her body. She opened her mouth and barely stayed awake. The clear biting feeling made her whole body tremble.

Qin Shuangjiang tried hard to calm down the surging fear and the familiar pain. He grabbed the head of the bed and sat up reluctantly. He looked around. The room was dark, and only the weak light outside could make him see something clearly.

She carefully lifted the quilt and got out of bed. The severe pain in her body did not subside by half. She forced her body to stagger to the table. She tried hard to restrain her trembling hands and wanted to pour a glass of water, but she didn't even have the strength to lift the teapot. .

After trying several times, she finally lifted the teapot tremblingly. In the silent night, the intermittent sound of water could be heard. Bai Kou, who was sleeping in the hall, quickly noticed the movement. She quickly got up, putting on her clothes and looking towards the room. Walking into the house.

Seeing Qin Shuangjiang standing in front of the table pouring water, she hurried over and said, "Miss, why didn't you call me when you got up..."

As she spoke, she walked up to Qin Shuangjiang and took the kettle from her hand. Qin Shuangjiang didn't resist. Bai Kou looked at most of the water spilled on the table, and then realized something was wrong.

Bai Kou turned her head and looked at Qin Shuangjiang, who was barely keeping his balance with his hands on the table. Her heart felt cold. She quickly put down the kettle and stepped forward to support Qin Shuangjiang: "Miss, are you okay?"

Qin Shuangjiang reluctantly shook her head. The stinging pain from being eaten inside made her almost dizzy. When she lowered her head, something warm dripped onto the back of her hand. Before Qin Shuangjiang could see it clearly, Bai Kou almost screamed. Get up: "Blood! Miss, you are bleeding!"

The poison worms squirm and eat in the body, trying to get out of the host's body, and nosebleeds are of course normal.

Qin Shuangjiang managed to calm down and opened his mouth. Just when he was about to say something, Bai Kou had already helped Qin Shuangjiang sit back on the bed. She anxiously comforted him: "Miss, don't worry, I'll ask Mr. Yu to come right away." Treat your injuries."

With that said, before Qin Shuangjiang could stop her, she turned around and left in a hurry.

Qin Shuangjiang lay on the bed, tossing and turning, as if the poison in her body was about to tear her to pieces. She had a splitting headache and couldn't help but groan, until she couldn't bear the pain of being eaten and passed out...

I don't know how long it took, half asleep and half awake, as if there was an invisible air flow slowly flowing into the body, gradually calming and restraining the Gu insect that became particularly irritable after waking up in the body.

When he opened his eyes again, it was already bright. The Gu worms in his body seemed to have calmed down. However, the tear in his chest last night could be heard, and his heart still felt a slight throbbing pain.

She coughed twice, and a nauseating smell of blood filled her throat. She frowned in discomfort, and suddenly heard a familiar voice: "Miss? Miss, what do you think?"

Hearing the sound, Qin Shuangjiang slowly moved his eyes belatedly, and his eyes fell on Bai Kou who was standing at the head of the bed with an anxious look on his face.She didn't speak. She turned her eyes slightly and scanned the hall. Yan Xuan was sitting aside, frowning and not looking very good. The other man standing beside him was Yu Hansheng who came out of Yixiang Palace that night. .

Yu Hansheng arranged the silver needles in his hand with a serious expression. Seeing Qin Shuangjiang wake up, he glanced sideways with an indifferent expression, and then turned to look at Yan Xu'an: "We still have to find the female insect as soon as possible, otherwise, even if I suppressed it with silver needles, and she still has at most three months to live. By then, if another attack occurs, there will be really no way to save her."

Hearing this, Yan Xu'an's hand holding the cup trembled slightly, but his expression did not change.

At this time, Qin Shuangjiang struggled to get up, and Bai Kou quickly stepped forward to help her carefully, put a soft pillow on her, and then poured a glass of water and handed it to Qin Shuangjiang.

After drinking a glass of water, the smell of blood in her throat was reduced by most, and she slowly breathed a sigh of relief. When she raised her eyes, she saw that Yan Xu'an didn't say anything, but just raised his hand to reject Yu Hansheng.

As the door was gently closed, the room was extremely quiet. Bai Kou stood aside and seemed to be aware of the strange silence in the atmosphere. He raised his eyes and looked at Yan Xu'an's gloomy face. Seeing that nothing happened to him, he cautiously After seeing the gift, he turned around and went out.

Not long after, Yan Xu'an stood up, sat in front of the bed, opened his mouth, wanted to say something, but always hesitated. As if he was aware of the other party's difficulty, Qin Shuangjiang took the initiative to speak: "Don't worry, Sir, that letter , I burned it long ago, no one will know."

"..."

Hearing the sound, Yan Xu'an was startled at first, and then his already relaxed brows couldn't help but wrinkled again. His deep eyes turned slightly, and his complex and deep eyes fell on Qin Shuangjiang's indifferent face.

After a long moment of silence, he said with some dissatisfaction: "I didn't ask that."

As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding atmosphere fell into an eerie silence again. There were clearly burning charcoal in the house, but the temperature around him seemed to be a bit colder than outside, which made Qin Shuangjiang feel an inexplicable palpitation in his heart.

After a long time, Yan Xu'an finally lost his terrifying aura. When he stood up and left, he only left one sentence: "You have a good rest."

When Qin Shuangjiang looked up again, the room was empty except for the closed door. For a moment, she couldn't figure out Yan Xu'an...

The days that followed became warmer and warmer, and the high-hanging sun finally gave some warmth. After the snow stopped for half a month, it began to rain lightly, sprinkling on the path paved with white pebbles.

Although it is not too slippery, Bai Kou always carefully supports Qin Shuangjiang, fearing that Qin Shuangjiang will fall, but Bai Kou doesn't know that she is easier to fall than Qin Shuangjiang.

Every time Qin Shuangjiang would secretly help her, but in the end she would always say with lingering fear: "I was scared to death. Fortunately, the lady didn't step on her. What would happen if the lady fell?"

Qin Shuangjiang didn't say anything, just smiled at her.

After returning from Yan Xu'an's study, when Qin Shuangjiang had nothing to do, he sat in front of the embroidery shed by the light of the window, embroidering stitch by stitch.

It is a map of mountains and rivers that can be seen in outline. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the mountains are scattered. There are a group of geese flying south, a solitary boat sailing on the water, people in bamboo hats and raincoats fishing, and eagles spreading their wings and looking down...

As the night grew darker, Bai Kou brought the third candle to the window. She finally said: "Miss, it's getting late. Take a rest. It's so dark, it hurts your eyes."

As Bai Kou said this, Qin Shuangjiang paused slightly with the needle and thread in his hand. He didn't refute, he just agreed and pushed the person away.

When it got completely dark, the needle and thread in Qin Shuangjiang's hand passed through the embroidery cloth in front of her again and again. Suddenly, her hand holding the needle paused again. She did not look back, but she could feel someone behind her.
