"That's right, there's nothing we can do. What's the point of seeing him?" Hong Xing put one hand on her waist and wiped the coal dust off her face.
The charcoal ash was almost cleaned up, and she held the basin and prepared to take it out and pour it on the half-dead old tree in the yard.
The old tree had probably not been taken care of for a long time. Hong Xing couldn't bear to see it die day by day. Since she moved into the Yanghe Palace, she would take some time every day to water it.
Now that she has the red radish charcoal, she doesn't want to waste the remaining ash after burning the red radish charcoal. It would be a good choice to use it to supplement the nutrients of the old trees.
Chu Qi climbed over the wall and entered the courtyard of Yanghe Palace. The wall was more than three meters high, so she climbed up easily. She grabbed the top of the wall, flipped over, and fell down along the inner wall.
Hong Xing saw a dark figure walking towards her. She was so frightened that her hair stood on end. Then she heard the dark figure say:
"It's me."
A very familiar voice.
Hong Xing heaved a sigh of relief: "Xiao Wuzi, why didn't you make any noise when you came in? I was scared to death."
Chu Qi said she was innocent: "It was Miss Hong Xing who was talking to the tree too seriously."
"Ah? Did you hear that?" Hong Xing was immediately embarrassed and hurriedly walked back with the pot in her hand. She had heard a folk remedy that said to praise the plant more so that it would grow well!
Look at this old tree, all its leaves have fallen off, how pitiful it is. If she praises it more, maybe it will come back to life.
Who would have thought that this little secret would be heard?
"I didn't hear anything." Chu Qi changed the subject naturally: "Is Shi Da Ying feeling better?"
Hong Xing paused and said, "Much better, thanks to the medicine you brought."
This time when Chu Qi sent the medicine, neither the master nor the servant mentioned the matter of paying. Because Chu Qi refused to accept any money!
Even if it was forcibly delivered to him, once he left, the master and servant would find that the bag of money they had given out would lie quietly on the table in a strong and conspicuous manner...
I can't even deliver it, and I keep pushing it around, which is just a waste of energy.
Chu Qi said: "It is my honor to be able to share Shi's worries."
Hong Xing choked and paused for a while before whispering, "It's impossible for the young master to be with you. You know that, right?"
After thinking about it, she finally said it.
Chu Qi had a good attitude: "I know."
Hong Xing didn't know what was going on, and she suddenly felt a little sad. The redness of her eyes had not yet subsided, but she was about to cry again.
When they got to the door, Chu Qi took out the medicine and handed it to Hong Xing:
"This is the medicine for Shi Ying to use to regulate her body. Soak one packet in the bath for half a cup of tea. This is the swelling-reducing ointment for you. Apply it to your eyes once in the morning, noon and night."
He had no intention of going in. Although he had come to Chuxiu Palace many times, he usually only talked to Shi outside the window at night and would not go in.
But tonight was different.
Chu Qi didn't go in, and Shi Qian was unhappy instead. She leaned against the windowsill, facing Hong Xing's frightened gaze of "The young lady is blowing the wind again". She felt guilty for a moment, but was soon overcome by another emotion.
She smiled softly, looking at the tall and graceful eunuch at the door... no, it should be the young man. The young man who belonged to her heart.
Even though he no longer had those masculine characteristics, in Shi Ying's heart, he was still a man.
"Come in and sit down, Xiao Wuzi." Shi agreed softly, "It's cold outside."
"Meet Shi Da Ying." Chu Qi bowed respectfully, his dark pupils full of Shi Da Ying's figure. He lowered his eyes and said with fear and trepidation:
"Is it inappropriate to enter the young master's bedroom?"
Hong Xing was feeling very touched as she was holding the medicine, but upon hearing this, she widened her eyes in indescribable expression, thinking to herself, didn't she say during the day that this was not the dormitory, but inside was, why was she bringing it up again now?
Moreover, he had the audacity to run away just to hold Shi Yi in his arms the day before yesterday...
Shi Dancing had been dozing off since noon, so she naturally didn't know that Hong Xing and Chu Qi had talked. When she heard Chu Qi say this, her long eyelashes trembled, like a butterfly about to fly.
After being stunned for a few breaths, she came back to her senses, and her sickly face was stained with a bit of shame, making her look even more charming:
"It's okay, just come in. You brought me medicine today, I should thank you very much, but..."
She agreed sadly. In her situation, even if she wanted to thank him, she had nothing to offer.
"I am willing to do anything for you, my lady, you don't have to thank me." Chu Qi said with his head down.
Shi Qian blinked her eyes, and suddenly felt that Xiao Wuzi's voice of "slave" was very irritating, so she suddenly said:
"From now on, you don't have to call yourself a slave in front of me. Just call me 'I'."
Hong Xing rubbed her arms. The cold wind outside never stopped. It seemed that the young lady and Xiao Wuzi would continue talking for a long time. How could a sick body stay by the window for so long?
She pulled Xiao Wuzi in without saying a word, slammed the door shut, then walked to the couch aggressively, climbed on, pulled the young lady in, and closed the window, leaving only a gap three thumbs wide.
"If someone with ulterior motives hears this, they will give people an excuse to criticize us."
Chu Qi was pulled in by Hong Xing obediently, speaking in an innocent tone.
Shi Da Ying thought that a polite person like Chu Qi would be as stubborn as Hong Xing, and would call herself a "slave" even in private conversations. Unexpectedly, she was just afraid of giving people a chance to talk, and this was not a problem.
She felt pleased and said:
"It's okay, you can just talk about it in private. You don't have to tell anyone else if there are outsiders around."
Chu Qi nodded obediently: "Slave..."
When he agreed, he glared.
He corrected himself: "I understand."
Shi Danying smiled and said, "Hong Xing, pour some hot tea for Xiao Wuzi to warm him up."
