Chapter 5 The fifth chapter is close, but empty

This year's spring came late, and in the second ten days of Mengchun Zhiyue, a lot of remnant snow could still be seen on the top of Xiaoyue. But it is convenient for Xiaoyao, she likes to bury a jar of fruit wine in the remnant snow, take it out when eating, pour it into a glass cup, it tastes special.It tastes much better than wine that is quickly chilled with spiritual power. Although Xiaoyao has her own Zhang'e Palace, she still lives in Medicine Valley most of the time, studying medicine with Yin, and sometimes going to the clinic with Yin for consultations. Xiaoyao and Yin took completely different paths in learning medicine, and they often had disagreements on medication, and would quarrel with gestures from time to time.

One day, Xiaoyao couldn't convince Yin, so she became anxious and asked Huangdi to judge. "I admit that Yin's medicine is not wrong, and even better, but the patient we are talking about now lives by the lake, and the medicine I use grows by the water. If you are lucky, you can pick it. Even if you can't pick it, it costs a lot to buy it. There are not many, but the medicines that are used grow in the deep mountains, where they don’t grow at all, so you have to buy them, and the medicines will definitely not be cheap.” Yin gestured like the Yellow Emperor, and Xiaoyao explained; "When treating a patient, the first thing to consider is to get rid of the disease. Xiaoyao's medicine takes effect slowly, and the appetite will be lost when taking it."

Huangdi laughed and said, "You are right about both. At this point, which prescription is more suitable does not depend on your medical skills, but on the patient's family situation. If it is a wealthy family, use Yin's prescription. It is impossible to know clearly." There are better medicines that can be used, but they are discarded. If it is a poor family, of course Xiaoyao's medicine is used. It is important to cure the disease, but the livelihood of the family is also very important. The disease cannot be cured, but people starve to death. " Yin thought for a while, and agreed with the emperor's words; Your Majesty is right, my patients are all nobles, so I never considered that there are many patients who can't afford medicine at all. "

Xiaoyao hurriedly said, "I also place too much emphasis on 'local materials'." Huangdi sighed; "Cure and save people should not be limited to one prescription, for example, for the case you mentioned just now, if the patient's family is in a mountainous area, the medicine used will be cheaper than Xiaoyao's." Xiaoyao smiled and said, "That's right, so the prescription not only depends on the patient's family status, but also depends on where the patient's home is. Back then, when I opened a medical clinic in Gaoxin, most of the patients were fishermen. I followed the prescription, It is very effective, but those medicines come from the Central Plains, and the fishermen are not familiar with them, and they cannot afford them. Later, I tried to use local medicinal materials, and Biri’s prescriptions became much more popular!"

Yin couldn't believe it, and made gestures; it's a prescription that someone would dislike! " The Yellow Emperor pondered for a moment, then suddenly said: "In the Eight Desolations and Six Heights, the water, soil and climate are different, one book is not enough, far from enough! Do you want to collect and compile dozens of books?" Xiaoyao and Yin looked at the Yellow Emperor in shock, and Yin gestured; "Impossible, impossible, there is only one copy for tens of thousands of years!" Xiao Yao also said; "It's too difficult, it's impossible!"

In his life, the Yellow Emperor fought north and south and created countless miracles. In his mind, there was never the word "impossible". He said, "I just ask you, is this a good thing? Is it worth doing?" "If you can really collect and sort out all kinds of herbs and prescriptions from all over the wilderness, it will not only be a good thing, but a great thing! It will benefit all people in the world, future generations, everyone!" The Yellow Emperor asked aggressively; "Since the value of this matter is affirmed, why not do it? The word 'difficult' becomes a reason not to do it?"

Yin and Xiaoyao smiled wryly, not everyone is the Yellow Emperor, dare to think what others dare not think, dare to do what others dare not do, Xiaoyao thought for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "As much as you can do, even if it's just an extra There are hundreds of prescriptions, and some people will benefit from these hundred prescriptions." Yin nodded; "Even if there are only ten more herbs, it's still good." Huang Di said, "Good!" That night, the Yellow Emperor told Zhuanxu that he planned to write a medical book and hoped that Zhuanxu would fully support him. "

The Yellow Emperor had never made a request to Zhuanxu since he took the throne of Zen. This was the first time that Zhuanxu agreed without hesitation. " Huangdi first selected a group of doctors from Xuanyuanguo, and then selected more than 20 best doctors from all the doctors, and called them to Xiaoyueding. Xiaoyao and Yin began to prepare for the compilation of medical books. Xiaoyao was busy discussing medical skills with doctors every day, so she didn't notice that Zijinding has been extremely busy since the beginning of spring.The Qianyang Palace where Zhuan Xu lived was brightly lit even late at night, and important ministers and generals came and went. Zhuan Xu hadn't been to any concubine's bedroom for more than two months.

But no matter how busy and tired he was, Zhuanxu went to Xiaoyueding every day, rain or shine, to greet the Yellow Emperor. In the eyes of the courtiers and concubines, the most she can say is "His Majesty the Black Emperor is very filial", but in the eyes of Queen Xinyue, everything has a deep meaning, which makes her sleepless. For a moment, she feels that she is the only one who has seen through Zhuanxu The secret, she told herself again for a while, was all her wild imagination. On the first quarter of the spring moon, Xuanyuan's female general Chishuixian led troops to attack Gao Xin's Jingdu in the south of Chishui at night, and occupied Jingdu with lightning speed.Jingdu penetrated into the hinterland of Gaoxin like a dagger, ensuring that even if Xuanyuan's army went deep into Gaoxin, Xuanyuan could still provide Niangcao supplies from the waterway.

You can't do anything The next day, the Black Emperor ordered Chishui Fenglong to be the general, and sent 300,000 troops to attack Gaoxin. Gao Xin has not experienced war for tens of thousands of years. Gao Xin's army is like a knife hidden in a box. Even though it was originally a precious knife, it has lost its sharpness because it has not been sharpened for tens of thousands of years.Xuanyuan's army is different. Since the founding of Xuanyuan, they have been in and out of the battlefield. After thousands of years of tempering, they are as fierce as tigers and wolves, and as firm as rocks.The vanguard general Yu Jiang came from the Xihe Department of Gaoxin. He had pure spiritual power, was good at controlling water, was proficient in water warfare, and was familiar with the terrain and climate of Gaoxin.

With this drastic change, the whole Great Wilderness was trembling. Xiaoyao on the top of Xiaoyue didn't know anything about it, but felt that the doctors talked less and often lost their minds when they were working. When Jing came to visit Xiaoyao, Xiaoyao asked Jing: "Could it be that Zhuanxu forgot to pay the doctors? I don't think they are very enthusiastic about their work recently!" Before Jing could speak, Huangdi coughed, Jing didn't speak, but met Huangdi's sharp gaze, and looked at Huangdi without flinching. Xiaoyao looked at Huangdi, looked at Jing, and found for the first time that Jing's majesty was not weaker than Huangdi, she suddenly jumped in front of Huangdi, blocked Jing, made a face, and asked with a playful smile: "Grandpa, what's the matter?" eccentric?" "Women's University is out!" Huang Di shook his head helplessly, "What's so weird, you can ask Zhuanxu, Jing and I don't want to be blamed for talking too much." Xiao Yao smiled, and pushed Huang Di to sit on the porch: "Let Jing play chess with you, and I'll make tea for you." She took the tea set and made tea, then went into the kitchen and busied herself as if nothing had happened . When the sun was setting to the west, Xiaoyao told Miao Pu: "Send someone to Zijinding, tell me that I will cook today, if your Majesty is free, come and have dinner together." Half an hour later, Zhuanxu came. Seeing that the food table was still empty, Xiaoyao was making medicine in a leisurely manner. He asked with a smile, "Aren't you cooking? What about the food?" Xiaoyao washed her hands slowly: "I'll be waiting for you." While talking, the waiter took out four small charcoal stoves, placed one next to each of the four food tables, put the tongs away, and brought out Xiaoyao's marinated meat one after another—put it on a white jade plate. There are small lamb chops, thin venison meat placed on green plantain leaves, and roe meat and rabbit meat cut into two finger widths. Xiaoyao said to Zhuanxu: "In addition to the meat, there are mountain worms and wild vegetables that were just picked this morning. The big worms are kept and roasted with the meat, and the little worms are made into worm soup. The wild vegetables are soaked in water to remove the bitterness and then cold Now, drink some yinzi soup and eat some wild vegetables later, just to relieve the greasy meat." The Yellow Emperor, Zhuanxu, and Jing took their seats one by one, and Xiaoyao mixed the medicinal materials that he had just smashed into the seasoning, and served them to Huangdi, Zhuanxu, and Jing, white jade dishes in the shape of lotus flowers, and the five lotus petals were small dishes, each containing Five kinds of seasonings with different flavors, the round butterfly in the middle, with green mustard powder, very spicy. After Zhuanxu heard this, he couldn't help moving his index finger, and quickly handcuffed two pieces of venison: "The last time I ate barbecued meat by myself was last year's Lantern Festival. It seems that I haven't eaten wild vegetables for more than ten years. I think of it every spring. , but I forgot again when I was busy.” Xiaoyao laughed and said, "No matter how you make it, wild vegetables are a bit bitter. Those who haven't eaten them will definitely not be used to them, but if they get used to them, they will like them. I am a little greedy myself, thinking that you have all eaten them before, So let’s try something new.” When the Yellow Emperor was young, he couldn’t even fill his stomach, so naturally he ate wild vegetables; when Zhuanxu was wandering in the market, he often used wild vegetables for his meals; when Jing was in Qingshui Town, every spring, Lao Mu would eat wild vegetables to save money. They are mainly wild vegetables, and Jing got used to eating them naturally. This meal took a full hour, and after eating and drinking enough, Huang Di and Jing continued to play unfinished chess. Xiaoyao was lying on the rattan couch, holding the jug in one hand, and two glass cups in the other. Zhuan Xu took the glass cups, Xiaoyao opened the jug, and poured the purple mulberry wine. After a while, a little water condensed on the outside of the glass. Zhuan Xu took a sip: "Sealed in a snow cellar? It is indeed better than iced with spiritual power." Xiao Yao smiled and said, "That's natural." Zhuan Xu said: "I heard from Yin that you have been collecting records related to Gu art since you came back from playing last year." "I went to Jiuli, so I'm naturally interested in Gu Art." Zhuanxu stared at Xiaoyao: "How is your health these years?" "Under your order, Yin will check my body every year, didn't he tell you?" "He always said it was good, but what do you think?" "I feel good too." "Have you solved the Gu with Xiang Liu?" "It's solved!" It's enough for Jing to worry about him, Xiao Yao doesn't want another one. "What do you mean?" "I raised that Gu, I planted it, what are you worried about? Are you still worried that I will be killed by the Gu I raised? I think you have heard too many messy rumors. Gu art is not so mysterious and scary, even if you If you don’t believe in me, you should also believe in the Jiuli people.” Zhuanxu said: "I just don't trust Xiang Liu. You should also be careful, if Xiang Liu comes to you, tell me right away." Xiao Yao nodded her head like a pest, "I obey, Your Majesty!" Zhuan Xu slapped her with a slap, Xiaoyao shrank her neck, when Zhuan Xu's hand fell on her head, it was already very light, his fingers slid slowly through her black hair, with a bit of indescribable love and lingering. Xiao Yao sipped her wine and said, "Grandfather, Jing, and those doctors are a little weird, what happened outside?" Zhuan Xu ate and did not speak, shaking the glass cup, admiring the light and shadow changing with the shaking of the wine. Xiao Yao said: "As soon as I go down the mountain, I will know everything, but I want you to tell me." Zhuan Xu drank the wine in the cup in one gulp, propped himself up with one hand, and sat up a bit.He looked directly at Xiaoyao and said, "I ordered troops to attack Gao Xin." The smile on the corner of Xiaoyao's mouth froze. She originally guessed what Zhuanxu had done because of her background, but she didn't expect... Xiaoyao felt that she heard it wrong: "Zhuanxu, say it again." Zhuanxu said, "I ordered the troops to attack Gao Xin." Xiaoyao stood up abruptly and smashed the wine cup at Zhuanxu. The cup hit Zhuan Xu's forehead heavily, and the purple wine splashed all over Zhuan Xu's head and face. Xiaoyao turned around and ran away, Zhuanxu didn't even bother to wipe his face, and hurriedly chased after Xiaoyao. When Huang Di and Jing heard the voice, they all looked over. Jing was about to get up, but Huang Di grabbed him.Huang Di dragged Jing into the room and ordered the waiter to close the doors and windows. Xiaoyao ran into the house, and with a bang, the door was slammed shut in front of Zhuanxu. Zhuanxu patted on the door and called, "Xiaoyao, Xiaoyao..." Xiaoyao put her back against the door to prevent Zhuanxu from entering. "Xiao Yao, listen to me." "I heard what you said? Did I hear you say that when you were cornered by four uncles, Emperor Gao Xin Jun took you in? Or listened to you, he took you as a disciple and taught you how to play the piano and make wine. Teach you how to observe people's livelihood, handle government affairs, and help you train hidden guards?" "Xiao Yao, you don't understand!" "What don't I understand? You should explain it to me! Could it be that what I just said was all lies?" "What you just said is true, but there are more things you don't know. If it weren't for him, you and I would never be orphans at all, so why should I take him in? You don't have to be displaced for three hundred years." Xiao Yao was stunned: "I don't understand what you said." "When my aunt told you about the past, she talked about everything related to your father very carefully, but she kept everything about Emperor Jun hidden. Maybe it was because my aunt forgave him, or maybe it was because my aunt wanted to protect you. , I don't want you to know." "What happened in the past? What do you want to say?" "Do you know why your uncle was accidentally killed by your father?" "Mother said that Uncle was going to let Grandpa abdicate, so Mother made a potion for him, which can make people unable to gather spiritual energy for a month or two. Unexpectedly, Uncle himself drank the potion she prepared by mistake. So I can't stop Daddy." "It's not that uncle wants grandpa to abdicate, it's that master lobbied uncle and at the same time handed over the potion prepared by aunt to uncle. When my aunt made the potion, she didn't know that uncle was going to use it. It was the potion prepared by aunt for master, which made master succeed. After that, the former Emperor Jun was imprisoned and died mysteriously. Why did the Five Kings Rebellion happen? Why did Master suppress the Five Kings so bloodily? Now I can’t hear any voices, and I questioned Master. Obtained the throne. Xiaoyao, you were in Wushen Mountain at that time. If you recall, you will definitely remember. The former Emperor Jun, the person you called Grandpa, was poisoned by Master! It is for this reason that the Five Kings rebelled .” Xiaoyao really wanted to deny it, but the bits and pieces of memories floating in her mind made her understand that everything Zhuan Xu said should be true, and she also remembered the Emperor Jun whom she once called Grandpa.In fact, she witnessed his death with her own eyes, and her mother cried and slapped her father. Zhuanxu said sadly: "If it wasn't for Master, would Uncle die? If Uncle didn't die, your mother and your father wouldn't be irreparable!" Xiao Yao leaned against the door panel and said feebly, "You can't blame the father entirely." "What about my father? After my aunt found out about Zhu Rong's plot, she immediately asked Master for help, but Master rejected Auntie!" Xiaoyao shook her head and murmured: "No! Impossible!" That was her father who taught Zhuanxu carefully and loved and doted on her! How could he refuse his mother to save his uncle?But that was also Emperor Jun who personally beheaded five younger brothers and poisoned his father! Zhuanxu said: "Didn't you ask your aunt when you were a child, 'Why is Mother missing a finger'? My aunt replied, 'I accidentally lost it'. Master has always had a white bone ring cut off on the little finger of his left hand. You must have seen it. .Do you know what that bone ring is made of? It is a finger of my aunt! When my aunt cried and begged him to save my father, she cut off her own finger and made a poisonous oath to beg him, but he... refused!" Zhuanxu's voice was hoarse, and he said each word in a word: "Xiaoyao, he refused!" Xiaoyao tightly covered the tenant's mouth with her hands, and slid down inch by inch.She still remembers that one day she found that her mother had only four fingers left on one hand. She asked her mother, "Why is mother missing a finger", and her mother smiled and said, "I accidentally lost it." She asked her mother, "It hurts." Is it?" Mother said, "It doesn't hurt, your fourth uncle and brother Zhuanxu are the ones who hurt the most now, Xiaoyao should be obedient and stay with her brother more." If the fourth uncle hadn't died, the fourth aunt wouldn't have committed suicide, grandma wouldn't have gotten sicker, mother wouldn't have to go to the battlefield, maybe everything would have been unnecessary... Zhuanxu said: "And your father! Until now, there are rumors in the world that there are two powerful generals under Chi You's command, one is Feng Bo and the other is Rain Master. Who is your real identity until Rain Master? He has another name, His name is Xihe Nuonai. No one knows now, but thousands of years ago, he was the famous son Pianpian of Gaoxin, a general of Xihe’s department, and a close friend of Master. It’s been too long, and everyone has died. I can't find out exactly what Master Yu did, but do you think Master will send him to your father's side for no reason? Yes! Maybe as you said, these things are completely blamed on Master. But...Xiaoyao, whenever I Thinking of it, my father doesn't have to die, my mother doesn't have to commit suicide in front of my eyes, grandma can live a few more years, my aunt doesn't have to go to war, you won't leave me, I really..." Zhuan Xu's breathing was very heavy. "I really have no choice but to regard him as my master!" Xiao Yao closed her eyes helplessly.I feel like my throat is being strangled.Difficulty breathing. Zhuanxu said: "Master always said to me before, 'You don't need to be grateful to me, I owe Qingyang, Ah Heng and your father'. I never took it seriously, but felt that Master was glorious. Until I ascended the throne After I found out about these old things, I really understood that Master was right!" Xiaoyao clearly remembered that on the Chishui River, when she thanked her father for saving her, her father also clearly said: "I owe this to Qingyang, Changyi and your mother." "Xiaoyao, I haven't forgotten that he is my master, but I can't forget...Xiaoyao, do you still remember that dagger?" "Did my aunt use the dagger she used to kill herself?" That dagger gave Zhuan Xu nightmares every night, but he insisted on wearing it every day. "Yeah." Zhuan Xu laughed mockingly, "That dagger was forged by Master's hand and given to my father and mother as a wedding present, but Mother chose to use it to kill herself. When Mother died, she must have hated Master." "Did you attack Gao Xin because you hated him?" "No! As far as I am concerned, he is the emperor Gao Xinjun, and I am Emperor Xuanyuan Hei. I made the decision only because I am the emperor." Xiao Yao said: "There are Lu Shou and Ju Mang who grew up with you, and Anian who you watched and grew up with... Zhuanxu, have you ever thought about their feelings?" "Ru Shou, Gou Mang and the others are men, even if they are against me, they will understand my decision. A Nian... probably will hate me. Xiao Yao, I haven't thought about their feelings, and I don't care about their feelings. But I will live with the consequences." "Since you don't care about our feelings, then you go, I don't want to see you! Xiaoyueding won't welcome you in the future!" Xiaoyao ran into the room, threw herself on the couch, and covered her head with the quilt. "Xiaoyao, Xiaoyao..." Zhuan Xu patted on the door, but there was no more sound from inside.He could split open the door with one palm, but he didn't have the guts to force his way in. Zhuanxu pressed his forehead against the door weakly, and said softly, "I care about your feelings!" That's why he postponed the war that should have happened three years ago until today, and would rather let Emperor Jun guess his intentions than to let Emperor Jun guess his intentions. First cut off the father-daughter relationship between Emperor Jun and Xiaoyao.After this decision, is a more difficult war.It is countless manpower and financial resources. Zhuan Xu didn't dare to go in, and was reluctant to leave, so he could only lean against the door, sit on the ground, and stare blankly into the depths of the night. No matter what people or things he faces, he always has resourcefulness and countermeasures, but now his mind is blank, and he can't think of anything.Instead, I remembered something from a long time ago—— When he and Xiaoyao first met, they didn't get along well.Although he was a boy, he couldn't beat the unruly Xiaoyao in a fight.He also played a little narrow-minded, trying to drive Xiaoyao away, but gradually, the two played together.After his parents left, Xiaoyao would accompany him every night; when he had nightmares, Xiaoyao would kiss his forehead.Swear: "I will always be with you".He said in disbelief, 'you will marry, and sooner or later you will leave me'.Xiaoyao said anxiously, 'I won't marry anyone else, I will marry you, and I won't leave'. From Wushen Mountain to Xuanyuan Mountain, from Xuanyuan Mountain to Shennong Mountain, Xiaoyao accompanied him step by step, no matter what happened, no matter what he looked like, she would stand firmly by his side.When Yu Jiang assassinated him, it was Xiaoyao who used her body to protect him; when he quit the drug addiction in the secret room, it was Xiaoyao who endured with him, preferring to get hurt himself, and rejected Jin Xuan's proposal, never mentioning binding him with ropes, She clearly knew that as long as she mentioned it, he would agree... It was late at night, Xiao Yao thought that Zhuan Xu had left, so she pushed open the window and stared silently at the moonlight. Zhuanxu couldn't guess what she was thinking, did she recall her childhood in Wushen Mountain? Two people, one shrank in front of the door, the other leaned in front of the window, separated by a distance of less than Zhang Xu, staring at the moonlight and wind and dew all night. A gleam of fish belly was exposed in the east, Xiaoxiao stepped on the fallen leaves and came out of the mist, and knelt down facing the house. Xiaoyao thought Xiaoxiao was kneeling on her knees, so she hurriedly raised her hand to get her up, but she heard Xiaoxiao say: "Your Majesty, please go back to Zijinding, the ministers are coming soon." Xiao Yao was stunned, seeing Zhuan Xu walking out from the corner of her eye. He actually sat outside the door all night?Xiaoyao lowered her head, not looking at him. Zhuanxu didn't make a sound either, he jumped on his mount and wanted to leave, Xiaoxiao reined in his mount and shouted: "Your Majesty, please wash your face first." Xiaoyao looked up, just when Zhuan Xu turned his head, where the eyes met, both of them were stunned. Last night Xiaoyao broke Zhuanxu's face with wine, he only wiped it with his hands a few times, but he didn't wipe it clean.At this time, his face was red and white, very wonderful, but he himself forgot that he wanted to go back to Zijin Ding with this appearance, the palace servants saw it, they must be frightened to death. Xiaoyao opened the door and said to Xiaoxiao, "You can wash it in the bathroom." Before Xiaoxiao agreed, Zhuanxu had already walked into the bathroom quickly, as if afraid of Xiaoyao's repentance. There were old clothes worn by Zhuanxu in the box, Xiaoyao dug them out and showed them to Xiaoxiao: "There are clean handkerchiefs on the shelves in the compartment." Zhuan Xu quickly took a cold shower, changed his clothes, tied his hair, and took some medicine before he came out. Standing in the courtyard, Xiaoyao heard his footsteps, and looked back, there was a purple bruise on Zhuanxu's forehead, probably from being hit by a glass lamp.There was wine stain on his face just now, but he didn't see it, but now that he has cleaned it up, it is very conspicuous. Xiaoyao used all her strength to smash it last night, Zhuanxu bled a lot, although the medicine was applied, but the elixir could only heal the wound, but could not make the bruise disappear immediately. Zhuan Xu smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, we'll be gone in two days." Xiaoyao lowered her head, walked past Zhuanxu and entered the door. Zhuan Xu stood dejectedly for a while, then turned around and got on his mount, and flew towards Zijinding. The injury on Zhuanxu's forehead naturally made the palace maids and concubines of the Zijin Palace panicked, and also made the courtiers whisper in their hearts. Zhuanxu didn't explain, and no one dared to ask him.Everyone could only inquire carefully from the attendant, Xiaoxiao's answer was "Your Majesty knocked accidentally when he was taking a nap".Everyone knew that Zhuanxu had been exhausted these days, so they believed it, but Queen Xinyue didn't believe it, but if she didn't believe it, she felt that guessing was too frightening for her, so she would rather believe it. Huang Di walked out of the bedroom and saw Jing Duan sitting on the bamboo couch.The quilt on the couch was exactly the same as last night, but the chessboard on the table was already half full. Obviously, he hadn't slept all night and had been playing chess with himself. The Yellow Emperor looked down at the chessboard for a while, and said gently: "Zhuanxu is the emperor, he can allow Xiaoyao to hit him with a wine cup, and he is willing to beg Xiaoyao for forgiveness, but he may not allow outsiders to see his distress. Zhuanxu and Xiaoyao I have experienced ups and downs since I was a child, and many times, I am also an outsider among them." Jing bowed and saluted: "I understand, thank you Your Majesty for your care." Huangdi said: "You are a smart child, you must remember that if you are too strong, you will break easily, and if you are too strong, you will be easily damaged." Jing said: "Remember." Huang Di laughed and said, "Go and see Xiaoyao! Let's have breakfast together." Xiaoyao took a bath, sat under the window of Xiaoxuan to comb her hair, tied her hair in a bun, and put the hairpin in front of the mirror. She saw Jing coming from the valley, with one hand behind her, stepping on the morning dew, walking to her bed. in front of the window. Xiaoyao saw that his clothes were still from yesterday, obviously he had never left Xiaoyueding: "Where did you... rest last night?" "I spent the night in His Majesty Huangdi's room," Jing handed a bouquet of blue Michelia flowers to Xiaoyao, the delicate petals still contained dew. Xiaoyao sniffed it, and said with a pleasant smile, "It smells so good!" She put down the hairpin in her hand, pointed to her bun, turned around, and lowered her head slightly. Michelle has a long and refreshing aroma, but the flower shape is not big.The blooming flowers are no more than the size of a thumb and are not suitable for insertion.Jing thought for a while, chose a Michelle of suitable length, wrapped the branch around the bun, and inserted half a circle. "All right" Xiaoyao held up the mirror to look at it, only to see that the right side of the bun was densely planted with michelia flowers, in the shape of a half-moon, just like a half-moon-shaped flower hairpin made of sapphire, but even if it is the best gemstone in the world, how could it be so refreshing? aroma? Xiaoyao put down the mirror and said, "Thank you, not only for the flowers, but also... for all the difficulties I brought you." Jing lightly flicked Xiaoyao's forehead: "Who told me that the two of you will walk together for the rest of your life, so naturally you should take care of each other?" Xiao Yao lowered her head and said dejectedly, "Jing, what should I do?" "Do you think you have the ability to make His Majesty the Black Emperor withdraw his troops?" Xiao Yao shook her head, he knew Zhuan Xu too well, no one could stop what he wanted. "Do you want to stand by Gao Xin's side and help Gao Xin make Xuanyuan?" Xiaoyao shook her head: "I only know a little about medicine and poison, how can I have that ability? Besides, although I hate Zhuanxu doing this, I will never help others deal with Zhuanxu." "Xiaoyao, this is a matter between the two emperors, there is nothing you can do." "But one of them is my dearest person, and the other is kind to me in nurturing me. Could it be that I... just look at them indifferently?" "You are not watching indifferently, you are watching in pain." "Tu Shanjing!" Xiao Yao glared at Jing, "Now you are still teasing me? Do you know that I was thinking about it all night?" Jing pinched Xiaoyao's cheek; "Don't just think about the worst outcome before anything happens. This battle won't end in ten or twenty years. The current Xuanyuan Kingdom is not the Xuanyuan Kingdom of the past, and the Black Emperor is not The Yellow Emperor and Emperor Jun were not the Chi You back then." The Yellow Emperor stood at the door and raised his voice and asked, "Are you eating, or are you talking through the window?" Embarrassed, Xiaoyao said loudly, "Eat!" After breakfast, Jing went down the mountain for two people. Xiao Yao sat on the porch in a daze, Huang Di ignored her. Xiaoyao sat until noon, suddenly jumped up, picked up the bow and arrow, rushed to the mountain, and practiced archery for more than two hours viciously.When she was extremely tired, she climbed onto the couch and fell asleep. When Zhuanxu came at night, Xiaoyao was still sleeping.Zhuan Xu accompanied the Yellow Emperor to finish the meal, gave Miao Pu a few words, and left. Xiaoyao slept until the early morning of the next day, and when she got up, she told Miao Pu that she would rest in Zhang'e Hall at night and eat dinner alone in Zhang'e Hall. Every day when Zhuanxu came, he didn't see Xiaoyao, nor did he get angry or disappointed, he looked the same as before, chatted with the emperor for a while, and left with his usual expression. The battle between Xuanyuan and Gao Xin is really as Jing said, and there will be no winner at all for a while. On the day when Zhuanxu sent troops, he declared to the world that he would not harm the people. At the beginning, Xuanyuan always had the upper hand, but as Xuanyuan's troops entered the hinterland of Gaoxin, they encountered fierce resistance from the people of Gaoxin. In Xinjiang, Xian's army is so brave, and the weapons in their hands are so sharp, they can't hurt the people of Gaoxin, so the one-sided situation is immediately reversed. Zhuanxu was obviously also prepared for a long-term war, and he had already explained to Feng Leong, so Feng Leong did not let the army continue to advance, but managed the already conquered city well. Midsummer is the flood season in Gaoxin, and there will be heavy rains, which will inevitably cause floods.Hong Leong grew up in Chishui since he was a child. He witnessed the flood that destroyed the entire village in an instant. Under the guidance of his grandfather, he had studied how to dredge the river, build embankments, and prevent floods. Before the flood season in Gaoxin, Feng Leong recruited children from the Chishui family who were good at water control, and assigned them to the army stationed in various cities, leading the soldiers of Xuanyuan to help the people in various places to dredge the river and maintain the dams.The people of Gaoxin were very repulsive at first, but the soldiers of Xuanyuan did not kill or set fire, and worked hard. Except that they could not understand what they said, they were no different from ordinary people.Seeing that the flood season is coming, for the sake of the crops in the field and the lives of the whole family, they cannot refuse other people's help. Although Xuanyuan's army went deep into the hinterland of Gaoxin, it was backed by Chishui River and Jingdu, and there was a steady stream of supplies of food, grass and materials through shipping. The high-paid army could not take back the city occupied by Xuanyuan; The rainy season is coming soon. Although Feng Leong is well adapted to the humid climate, there are many Xuanyuan soldiers who are not used to it, and Xuanyuan can't continue to attack. Xiaoyao has been avoiding Zhuanxu all the time, but it is impossible to avoid the ongoing war outside. She clearly knows that whether she knows it or not will not change the result, but she can't help asking; "Where is Feng Leong now? Is there a war?" Jing teased her; "You were heard carefully, saying that you regretted the beginning, and you are thinking about Feng Leong." Xiaoyao couldn't laugh or cry when she was teased by Jing, she rushed forward to hit Jing, Jing hid while pretending to be serious and said, "Now Feng Leong is a great general, his future is limitless, far more powerful than me, a little patriarch, you are Tell me the truth, I have regrets in my heart, Feng Leong has not married a wife, if you really regret it, you may not have a chance." Xiao Yao wanted to scratch Jing's mouth a few times, but she couldn't catch it at all. She gritted her teeth and said, "I used to hear that Mr. Qingqiu was quick-witted and joking, but I thought foolishly that they weren't bullying you, right?" Now I regret it, not because Hong Leong's future is limitless, but because I found out that you are a big villain!" Jing moved to Xiaoyao's side; "Then how can I be considered a good person, I'll let you hit me?" Xiaoyao turned her head and looked up at the sky on the other side; "It's not rare!" Jing turned to Xiaoyao; "Then hit it twice?" "Hmph!" Xiao Yao turned her head and looked at the sky on the other side. "Three strokes?" Huangdi's laughter came suddenly, Xiaoyao and Jing hurriedly stood up a little, Huangdi coughed twice, and said, "I'll drink some water, you guys continue to play your game." "Who played with him? He was bullying me!" Xiao Yao blushed, ran to the porch to pour a glass of water, and handed it to Huang Di. Huang Di looked at Xiaoyao and said with a smile; "I think it's good to be a bully. When Jing is not around, how can you get along with me? When Jing comes, you get angry a lot." Xiao Yao glanced at Jing, but said nothing. Midsummer is approaching, and Gaoxin has entered the rainy season. For Xuanyuan and Gaoxin's soldiers, it means that there is no need to fight for the time being.As far as Jing is concerned, the one-year mourning period for his "deceased wife" has expired, and according to custom, marriage can be discussed. One afternoon, when Jing went to Xiaoyueding to visit Xiaoyao, she said, "Let's go for a walk." Xiaoyao was sorting out the medical notes of her predecessors, she just got tired and said, "Okay!" Xiaoyao followed Jing out of the medicine valley, Jing called his mount Baihe, and asked Xiaoyao to go up. Xiao Yao laughed and said, "I thought I would just take a walk around Xiaoyueding, where are you going to take me?" Jing smiled without saying a word, and the white crane flew them between the mountain peaks. Not long after, Xiaoyao saw Caotu Ridge, surrounded by clouds and mist, with steep peaks. The white crane stopped at the edge of the pool, Xiaoyao jumped off the white crane, looked at the thatched cottage and said, "Sometimes I feel that there is a destiny in the dark." Jing pulled Xiaoyao to sit down; "There is something I want to discuss with you." Xiao Yao bent down to play with the water, and said casually, "Say it!" "In the folk songs of Hanshui, there is a song 'A Fair Lady, A Gentleman Is Good'. Every teenager can't help but look forward to what his future wife will look like after he understands the lyrics. I was the same when I was young, thinking of her She should have a beautiful face, a gentle and demure temperament, know how to play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, know a little about cooking and female celebrities, not taciturn, not talkative, know how to manage a family, manage affairs well, advance and retreat well, and finally know how to do business, so I won’t mention it When it comes to family affairs, she doesn't understand at all..." Xiaoyao compared herself one by one in her heart, and her face turned ugly. "When my mother was choosing a relative for me, she asked me what I thought, and I told my mother my vision." Xiao Yao asked expectantly; "Did your mother say that you are wishful thinking?" Jing said with a smile; "Mother said, 'these are not difficult, except for the appearance, which is born, the other ones, not to mention the aristocratic family, is the general family, as long as you want your daughter to marry well, you will cultivate it carefully, it is difficult It's whether she'll treat you with sincerity'." Xiao Yao quietly thought about it, the requirements that Jing said sounded high, but they were not difficult to meet, after all, Jing only asked for "knowledge and a little understanding" and didn't ask to be famous all over the world like him. Jing said; "I didn't expect... I met you!" Xiaoyao wrinkled her nose and said disdainfully, "So what if I meet you? Anyway, I'm not beautiful, gentle and quiet, I don't know how to play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and female reds don't know anything, but I'm very good at how to poison people to death. I talk too loudly and talk to myself. I can say for an hour or two, I don’t know how to dress up, I don’t know how to run a house, I hate socializing, and I don’t even know how to talk about business..." Jing nodded, "You are indeed like this!" Xiao Yao puffed her cheeks, clenched her hands into fists, and stared at the ground angrily. "But when I met you, I realized that no matter how much I thought about it before, when I meet the person I like, all conditions are not conditions." Jing looked at Xiaoyao gently, "You are not demure, but I have It's very quiet, just need you who is noisy and active; you are not gentle, and you want to do anything if you disagree, but you wash my hair and feed me medicine, you are extremely meticulous and patient; you can't play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but I can ，恰好方便我卖弄；你不懂女红，但我又不是娶织女，一百个玉贝币就可以买到大荒内最手巧的织女了；你不会做生意，我会，养你绰绰有余；你不懂做生意，可有了你的聒噪，再过一千年，我和你也不怕没话说，压根不需要和你提起家族里的事务，你懒于人情往来，我求之不得，因为我巴不得把你藏在深宅，不要人看到，不要人抢去……” 小夭脸色好转，歪头看着璟。 璟微笑着说；“小夭，你刚才说的很对，你的确不是花容月貌，你是……”小夭的鼻子刚刚皱起，璟点了一下她的鼻头，“纵世间万紫千红,都不抵你这一抹风流。” 小夭霎时间脸通红，站起身要走；“真不知你今日发什么疯，尽说些莫名其妙的话！” 璟抓住小夭的手，不知何时，他们四周已是白雾缭绕，在弥漫的白雾中，桃树一株株拔起，以肉眼可见的速度结成花骨朵，开出了娇艳的花。不过一会儿，千朵万朵的桃花，缤纷的怒放着，灿如晚霞， 绚如胭脂，微风过处，落叶缤纷。 小夭明知道这是璟结出的幻境，仍旧忍不住伸出手，去感受那缤纷绚烂。 璟说；“这里是你爹爹曾经住过的地方。我今日到你来这里，是想当着你爹娘的面告诉你，青丘涂山璟想求娶西陵玖瑶。” 小夭的身子僵住。 璟问；“小夭，你愿意嫁给我吗？' 当年，小夭和丰隆孤男孤女在密室议亲，都没觉得不好意思，现在却是又羞又臊，恨不得立即跑掉。她低声嘟囔；“你想求娶，应该去问外祖父和颛顼。” “我当然会和他们提，但在征询他们的意见前，我想先问你的。小夭，你愿意嫁给我吗？” 漫天桃花簌簌而落，犹如江南的雨，小夭好似看到了爹和娘，正含笑看着她。 “我愿意！”小夭甩掉璟的手，逃进了茅屋，觉得脸颊滚烫，心砰砰直跳。在镜子前照了照，如何饮了酒，整张脸都是酡红色的，她双手捂住脸颊，对镜子里的自己说；“真没出息！” 晚上，颛顼来小月顶时，看到小夭也在，分外惊喜。 他笑对璟点点头，坐到了黄帝下首，和小夭相对。 璟对黄帝和颛顼恭敬地行礼，说道；“我想求娶小夭，恳请二位陛下恩准。' 颛顼心里咯噔一下，看向小夭，上一次丰隆求婚时，小夭满面惊诧茫然，而现在，她低着头，眉梢眼角三分喜，三分羞，还有四分是心甘情愿。 颛顼觉得自己好像坐在一个人都没有夫人荒凉山顶，身还在，心却飞了出去，穿行在漫长的光阴中，看着一幕幕的过去—— 因为小时候的经历，他早慧早熟，偶尔也会享受逢场作戏的鱼水之欢，可是一颗冷硬的心从未动过，被人调侃的问究竟想要个什么样的女人时，他总会想起小时候，小夭抱着他说；“我不嫁给别人，我嫁给你，永远陪着你”！ 陪着小夭，从瑶池回来的那一夜，他翻来覆去的睡不着，眼前全是小夭，小时候的她，现在的她，身着男装的小夭，身着女的小夭，不管哪个她，都让他时而欢喜，时而心酸，他不是毛头小伙子，很清楚发生了什么。 可是，他能怎么办？一个连睡觉的屋子都是别人赐予的人有什么资格？一个朝不保夕，随时会被人刺杀的人有什么资格？ 他一直记得，姑姑送小夭去玉山时，他恳求姑姑留下小夭，诚心诚意的应诺“我会照顾小夭，不怕牵累”。姑姑却微笑着说；“可是你现在连保护自己的能力都没有，更没有能力保护她，只是不怕可不够”！ 他曾立志，要快长达，等能照顾好小夭时，就去玉山接她，可几百年过去了，她再次回到他身边时，他依旧没有能力照顾她，只能告诉自己：你连保护她都做不到，你没有资格！ 那是，小夭对璟有心动，却还没有情，对丰隆则完全无意，可因为那些男人是涂山氏，是赤水氏，每一个都比他有资格。所以，他一半是退让，一半是利用，由着他们接近小夭。 轩辕城中，危机四伏，璟万里迢迢而来，小夭却和璟闹翻了，压根儿不肯见璟。 轩辕山上，他抓住小夭的天马缰绳，请她去见璟。这一辈子，他曾被很多人羞辱过，可从没有为自己感到过羞耻，但那一次，他觉得羞耻和屈辱。 小夭不仅见了璟，还和璟在屋里待了一个通宵，他在冰寒刺骨的谁里浸泡了一夜，可他洗不去心上的痛苦，也洗不去自己的羞耻和屈辱。他想冲进去，把璟赶走，可他知道不行，倕梁府邸前，小夭用身体保护他的一幕就在眼前，他没有资格！ 那一次，他如愿得到了丰隆和璟的鼎力支持，做了他这一生最重要的决定，选择神农山，放弃轩辕山。当他放浪形骸、醉酒吃药，和倕梁他们一起半疯半癫、哭哭笑笑时，只有他自己知道他并不是在做戏，他是真的很痛苦，在麻痹和宣泄，因为他清楚地知道，他放弃的不仅仅是轩辕山，还有他的小夭！ 来到神农山，璟和小夭的交往越来越频繁，他一遍遍告诉自己，只做兄长！只要两个人都活着，只要小夭快乐，别的都不重要！ 那一天，小夭从青丘回来，软倒在他怀里，一口血吐在他衣襟上时，他觉得自己的心在被一刀刀凌迟。 小夭为璟重病，卧榻不起，他夜夜守着她。无数个深夜，看着她在昏睡中哭泣，他痛恨得到却不珍惜的涂山璟，可更痛恨自己。 黄帝巡视中原，轩辕上下人心惶惶，王叔和他已经彻底撕破了脸。他站在一个生死关口，上一步乾坤在握、俯瞰天下，下一步则一败涂地、粉身碎骨，连馨悦都开始和他有意地保持距离，小夭却在最微妙的时刻，同意嫁给丰隆。 一夕之间，四世家全站在了他这一边。虽然小夭一直笑着说“丰隆是最适合的人选”，可他心里很清楚，如果不是为了他，纵然小夭因为璟心灰意冷，也不会同意嫁给丰隆。 丰隆和小夭的婚期定了，他心内有头躁动的猛兽在咆哮，爷爷语带劝告地说：“小夭想要平静安稳的生活，用你的权势守护她一生安宁，才是真正对小夭好。” 为了小夭吗？他紧紧地勒住了猛兽，不让它跑出来。 小夭出嫁那日，他在小月顶的凤凰林内坐了一夜，凤凰花随风摇曳，秋千架完好如新，那个赏花、荡秋千的人却走了。 他一遍遍告诉自己“丰隆的确是最适合的人选静，他可以守护她一辈子，只要他在一日，丰隆绝不敢轻慢小夭一分。 可是，当小夭逃婚的消息传来时，满天的阴翳刹那全散了，他竟然忍不住欢喜地在凤凰林内大叫大笑。 颛顼微笑着看向身周，黄帝和璟都在看着他，显然黄帝已经答应，只等他的答复了。 小夭抬起了头，看向他，眼含期冀。 颛顼微笑着对璟说：“你让族中长老去和西陵族长提亲，把亲事定下来吧！” 璟悬着的心放下，躬身行礼，真心实意地说：“谢陛下。” 年末，涂山氏、西陵氏一起宣布涂山族长和西陵玖瑶定亲。 大荒内，自然又是沸沸扬扬，但璟和小夭都不会去理会。 亲事定下后，就是商议婚期了。 璟想越快越好，看着璟长大的钺长老笑着打趣：“你自小就从容有度，不管做什么都不慌不忙，怎么现在这么急躁？” 璟说道：“别人看着我着急，可其实，我已经等了几十年了。” 钺长老也知道璟对小天情根深种，不再取笑他，呵呵笑道：“别着急，这事也急不来！族长和西陵小姐的婚礼名义上是续娶，依照礼仪来说不该越过了那个女人，可族长舍得吗？就算族长舍得，老头子我也不答应！婚礼倒罢了，以我们涂山氏的能力，一年的准备时间足够了。可你算算。屋子要不要重建？家具器物要不要重新置办？要不要为西陵小姐开个药园子？反正照我的意思，但凡那个女人住过、用过的都拆了、扔了，一切按照族长和西陵小姐的喜好重新弄过。这可是个大工程，也是个精细活，族长，真急不来！” 璟不吭声，钺长老说的话很有道理，明媒正娶，本该如此。 钺长老说：“就是因为知道族长在意西陵小姐，我这个过来人才提醒你，一辈子一次的事，千万别因为一时心急，留下个一辈子的遗憾。” 璟颔首：“钺长老说的是。” 钺长老笑道：“不过，族长放心，以涂山氏的财力，全力准备，不会让族长久等，到时，保管族长满意。” 璟不好意思地说：“关键是要小夭喜欢。” 钺长老大笑：“好！我一定把西陵小姐的喜好都打听清楚。” 黄帝询问小夭对婚期的想法。 小夭看着窗外忙忙碌碌的医师，想了一会儿，说道：“我想等编篡医书的事情有了眉目后，再确定婚期。” 黄帝说：“这可不是两三年的事，你确定吗？” 小夭点点头：“《神农百草经》在我手里已经四百多年，它救过我的命，我却从没有为它做过什么，或者说，我想为那位遍尝百草、中毒身亡的炎帝做点什么。他耗费医生心血的东西，无论如何，都不该只成为几个医师换取钱财名望的工具。” 黄帝叹道：“小夭，你一直说你不像你娘，其实，你和你娘很像！” 小夭皱着眉头：“我不像她！” 黄帝笑道：“好，不像，不像！” 傍晚，颛顼来小月顶，听到小夭对婚期的决定，笑到：“很好。” 也许因为和璟定亲了，小夭开始意识到，她在小月顶的日子有限，和颛顼相聚的时光并不是无限；也许因为轩辕和高辛的战争虽然互有伤亡，可并没有小夭认识的人死亡，如果不去刻意打听，几乎感受不到万里之外的战争，小夭不再躲避颛顼。 两人之间恢复了以前的相处，每日傍晚'颛顼会来，和小天说笑，消磨一段时光。 寒来暑往，安宁的日子过得分外快，不知不觉中，八年过去了。 不管是巫王，还是小夭，都没有找到解除情人蛊的方法。 小夭虽然有些失望，可并不在意，这个蛊在她身上已经八十来年了，似乎早已习惯，实在紧张不起来。 璟却很在意，每次解蛊失败时，他的失望都难以掩饰。 小夭笑嘻嘻地安慰他：“那个心意相通没那么'亲密'了，实际只是相柳能感觉到我的一些痛苦，我完全感受不到他，这根本算不得心意相通。” 其实，璟并不是在意小夭和相柳“心意相通”，他不安的是“命脉相连”，可这种不安，他没有办法讲给小夭听，只能任由小夭误会他的“在意”。 一日，小夭从医馆出来，一边走，一边和苗莆说话。 天色将黑，大街上都是脚步匆匆的归家人，格外热闹。茫茫人海中，也不知道为什么，小夭一眼就看到了一个锦衣男子。她一直盯着男子，男子却没看她，两人擦肩而过，男子径直往前走了，小天却渐渐地停住了脚步，回过头去张望。 苗莆奇怪地问：“小姐看到什么了？” 小夭怔怔站了会儿，突然跑去追，可大街上，熙来攘往，再找不到那个男子。她不肯罢休，依旧边跑，边四处张望。 苗莆不知道发生了什么，一边寸步不离地追着小夭，一边问：“小姐在找什么？” “我……我……也不知道。”小夭倒不是骗苗莆，她是真不知道。 无头苍蝇般地乱转了一圈，正准备离开，突然看到阴暗的巷子里，一扇紧闭的门上有离戎族的地下赌场的标记。 小夭走到门前，静静看了一瞬，也不知道自己怎么想的，竟然敲了敲门。 “小姐想赌钱？”苗莆问。 "just looking around." 地下赌场只对熟客开放，守门的侍者想赶小夭走，苗莆拿出一个令牌晃了晃，侍者竟然恭敬地行了一礼，将两个狗头面具递给苗莆。 小夭戴上面具，在赌场里慢慢地逛着。 大概因为天才刚黑，赌场里的人并不算多，小夭走了一大圈后，要了几杯烈酒，坐在角落里，默默地喝着。苗莆看出来她有心事，也不出声打扰，安静地陪在—旁。 夜色渐深，赌场里越来越热闹，也不知道坐了多久，小夭又看到了那个锦衣男子，因为戴了面具，他变得狗头人身，可小夭依旧认出了他。 小夭急急地追了过去，灯光迷离，衣香鬓影，跑过好几条长廊，好几层台阶，终于追到了锦衣男子。 锦衣男子站在一面半圆形的琉璃墙边，也不知道离戎族用了什么法术，琉璃墙外就是星空，漫天星斗璀璨，流星时不时坠落，让入觉得就站在天空中。 锦衣男子含笑问：“你追了我这么久，所为何事？” 小夭迟疑着问：“你不认识我吗？” “我应该认识你吗？” 小夭摘下了面具。 锦衣男子仔细瞅了几眼，吹了声口哨：“如果我认识你，应该不会忘记！抱歉！”他说完，就要离开。 小夭一把抓住了他：“相柳！我知道是你，你别装了！” 锦衣男子想甩开小夭，可小夭如章鱼一般难缠，就是不放开，锦衣男子似有些不耐烦：“再不放开，休怪我不客气了!” “那你不客气啊！反正我痛了，你也别想好受！” 锦衣男子叹了口气，摘下面具，徐徐回过身，漫天星光下，他的面容渐渐变幻，露出了真实的五官。 小夭盯着他，笑了起来，眼中尽是得意。 相柳无奈地问：“西陵姑娘，你究竟想干什么？” “我……我……”小夭其实也不知道自己想干什么，张口结舌了一会儿，说道：“帮我解掉蛊，条件你提！” 相柳笑：“半个时辰前，涂山璟刚对我说过这句话。” “你来这里是和璟见面？” “准确地说是涂山璟约我谈点生意。” 小夭明白了，肯定是璟看她解不了蛊，只好去找相柳谈判，“你答应璟了吗？” “他给的条件很诱人，我非常想答应，但不是我不想解掉蛊，而是我真的解不掉！ “你骗人！当年你帮颛顼解了蛊，怎么可能现在解不了？” 相柳啧啧叹气，摇着头说：“你真应该让涂山璟教教你如何和人谈生意，谈生意可不是吵架，尤其是有求于人时，更不能随意指责对方，你的目的是让我帮你，不是激怒我。” 小夭瞪着相柳：“你明明就是骗人！” “你觉得我会撒这么拙劣的谎言吗？涂山璟可比你聪明得多，虚心询问的是，为什么以前能解，现在却不能解了。” "why?" “蛊虫是活物。此一时，彼一时！难道你能打死刚出生的小老虎，就代表着你也能打死上千年的虎妖吗？” 小夭觉得相柳说得有点道理，可又觉得他并没完全说真话。悻悻地说：“我是不行，可你也不行吗？” “你不相信我，何必问我？” 小夭不吭声，沉默了一瞬，问：“你来轵邑就是为了见璟吗？什么时候离开？” “如果不是你拉住我，我已经离开了。” 小夭才反应过来，她一直拽着相柳的胳膊，几分羞赧。忙松开了。 “璟呢？他还在赌场吗？” 相柳似笑非笑地看着幽暗的长廊：“一直在你身后。” 璟走过来，握住了小夭的手。 小夭想叮嘱相柳小心，尽早离去，可又说不出口，只能沉默。 相柳扫了一眼璟和小夭交握的手，对璟微笑着说：“告辞！”说完，立即转身离去，不一会儿，人就隐入了黑暗中。 璟对小夭说：“我和相柳谈完事，为了避人耳目，各自离开，可我看到你竟然在，就跟了过来，顺便把苗莆引到了别处。” 小夭不想再提起相柳，摇了摇璟的手，笑道：“我可没介意这个，我知道你是担心我。走吧，我还没吃晚饭呢！” 两人携着手，并肩而行。小夭说：“别再担心蛊的事了，船到桥头自然直，总会有办法解决。” “好！”璟颔首答应了，心里想着，既然蛊无法可解，唯一庆幸的就是颛顼和小夭感情很好，如果有朝一日。真到了那一步。颛顼应该会为了小夭，手下留情。
