Baozi was afraid that it would affect his appetite, so whenever it was time to eat, he asked Miss Ying to help him seal a part of his overly sensitive sense of smell, so that he could only smell the aroma of the food in front of him, and wait until after the meal to reply, so as not to let the atmosphere of war outside affect his appetite.
However, after only two bites, he moved his nose, and suddenly smelled a unique feminine fragrance in addition to the aroma of the food.
He looked up and was sure that the woman's scent was coming from the Fourth Lady.
The fourth lady paused with her hand on chopsticks, and naturally smiled: "Brother Baozi, why do you look at me like this?"
Baozi shook his head and puffed out his mouth: "I think the food cooked by the fourth lady is really delicious and smells so good."
Because the house was very large, after dinner, the fourth lady placed Su Chen in another separate house.
After Su Chen washed up briefly, he took off his coat and put it on the screen, ready to rest.
At this moment, there was a knock on the outside door.
Su Chen opened the door and saw that the fourth lady was standing at the door, she was holding a tray in her hand, and there was a bowl of soup and two plates of snacks in the tray.
The candle flame in the room reflected her cheeks, and there were two points of transparent pale.
Su Chen saw that as soon as she said a word, he looked at the tray and raised his eyebrows and asked, "Madame, something is wrong."
The fourth lady came back to her senses, smiled, but there was a shallow light in her drooping eyes, and said, "I expected that everyone hadn't slept at this time, so I made some supper for everyone to bring to you, which can be eaten when you are hungry at night."
If the prince doesn't dislike it, can you let the concubine send this into you and let you go?"
The tone of this speech was as soft as a willow branch caressing the surface of the water, with a lingering rhyme, and the tone and tone of each word made Su Chen feel inexplicably familiar, as if he had often heard such words before.
But it was the first time he had seen the fourth lady in front of him.
Su Chen groaned for a while, but still turned sideways to get out of the way, and the fourth lady entered the house with a tray.
She put the food on the table and carefully introduced: "This soup is the lotus seed soup I boiled with my own hands, which clears away heat and relieves qi, and this snack is my steamed begonia cake and hibiscus cake, so eat it while it's hot." ” Su Chen smelled it and felt that the fragrance was a little familiar.
But after smelling it twice, he felt tired of it, and it was not the taste he liked at all, so he said: "You can put it away, thank you, I will eat it when I am hungry in a while." ” The fourth lady nodded lightly and said, "The prince must have worked very the boat, please rest early at night, if you need anything, just talk to the concubine." ” "Okay."
The fourth lady was about to say goodbye, walked two steps to the door, turned around, and her eyes fell on Su Chen's tall back, and then moved to the screen next to her and saw his clothes.
She walked over lightly, and took off Su Chen's coat and held it in her arms.
Su Chen looked back and saw it, and he looked unhappy, but it was not easy to have a seizure.
The fourth lady said: "The concubine sees that the prince's clothes are dirty."
If the prince doesn't dislike it, he will hand it over to the concubine, help the prince wash it and dry it, and then wear it again tomorrow morning. ” Su Chen's voice was two points colder, and said, "Don't be so troublesome, let it go, when you go out, you don't pay so much attention to it." ” The fourth lady raised her eyebrows and said: "It's the concubine who is rude, everyone is working hard every day, I'm just an unarmed woman, I want to help but can't help anything, the only thing I can do is this."
So please forgive me and understand the hard work of the concubine. ” In the end, Su Chen still asked the fourth lady to take away his coat.
It may be that he was born superior and is accustomed to a life of serving, and when he saw that the four ladies asked for this, he did not refuse.
The fourth lady exited the door and closed the door for Su Chen very thoughtfully.
When she turned around, there was no smile on her face, and the light moonlight made her face paler and paler.
She lowered her head and looked at the clothes in her hand, walked out of the yard with her front feet, and when she stepped out of the courtyard with her front feet, she sighed quietly: "I thought I couldn't wait for you for the rest of my life, but I didn't expect you to come anyway." ” "Tuk-tuk."
The lights in Ye Song's room were not extinguished, and the window was slightly closed, revealing only a slightly open slit.
At this time, someone knocked leisurely on the window lattice two or three times, and Ye Song didn't need to look up to know who it was.
Sure enough, Su Jing's voice sounded outside: "There's no picture inside that I can't see, such as changing clothes or something, I pushed the window." ” The windows are unlocked.
Ye Song tugged at the corners of her mouth, she was already surprised by Su Jing's shameless behavior.
Compared with his seriousness and rejection, Ye Song felt in his heart that it was more appropriate for him to be like this.
As soon as Ye Song raised his eyes, he saw Su Jing Su Jing leaning in from outside the window, and said, "You don't sleep in the middle of the night, what are you doing here?"
"Didn't you sleep too?"
Ye Song said: "I'm getting ready to sleep." ” Su Jing rested her arms on the window lattice, smiled and squinted a pair of peach blossom eyes, and said, "I still want the night to be clear, and I plan to invite you out for a walk."
There are a lot of stars out there. ” Ye Song did not speak.
Su Jing said again: "I haven't seen that stray cat barking on the roof for the past two days, I don't know where it ran to, don't you want to know?"
Ye Song looked at him sideways and raised his eyebrows slightly.
The stray cat that Su Jing said, after Ye Song fed it a bowl of soup the first night, came back on the second and third nights, and barked twice on the roof, as if waiting for Ye Song's feeding.
And Ye Song also prepared a bowl of soup every night and waited for it to come.
If it hadn't been for Su Jing mentioning it at this time tonight, Ye Song would have almost forgotten that it was past the time for stray cats to come, and the bowl of soup on the table did not move, and no cat meows were heard outside.
Ye Song looked at the bowl of soup on the table and asked, "You see it?"
Su Jing straightened up, stood outside the window, and said, "I saw it by accident." ” Then Ye Song came over and closed the window, blew out the light in the room, opened the door and walked out.
Su Jing was still standing in the courtyard under the moonlight waiting for her, and when she heard the door open, she turned around and smiled at her.

Ye Song squinted, feeling that the moonlight in the past few nights seemed to be exceptionally round, she raised her head to look at the night sky, Su Jing said well, there are many stars, dotted with the night sky like jewels, very beautiful.
Ye Song walked down the steps and said, "Let's go." ” Su Jing didn't know: "Where to go" Ye Song borrowed his words: "The night is clear, take a walk or something." ” The Xie family's old house is very large, and Ye Song rarely goes to the backyard, but he doesn't want Su Jing to take her in the direction of the backyard.
There is a pond in the backyard, and the water in the pond is very clean, because it is inconvenient to go out to fetch water to cook food, so for the time being, the water in the pond is used for cooking.
Around the pond, there are flat and smooth bluestones, part of which is submerged in the water, and the exposed stones are covered with wet and cool moss.
The water was calm, and a bright full moon was reflected in the water, not much like the sky.
It is on such calm water that if something is floating, you can spot it at a glance.
At this moment, there was a dark mass floating in the water.
Girl Ying, Bai Yu and Baozi live in a separate courtyard.
First, Bai Yu needs to recuperate, and Miss Ying will not let anyone disturb her, and secondly, there are often Xiaodong and Xiaoxi in the yard where she is located, and it is better for ordinary people to go less.
On weekdays, Baozi took the initiative to take on the work of helping Baiyu decoction.
The stove under the eaves was emitting faint green smoke, and the bitter smell of the medicine pot was boiling, and the steamed buns smelled too bitter and vomited.
Ying girl usually goes to bed very late, and at this moment she guards the medicine pot with Baozi.
Seeing this, she said, "This medicine smells so bad, is it worse than the smell of decomposing corpses outside?"
Baozi touched his nose, his eyes were red, and said: "That's not it, it's just that my nose is too smart, and the smell is more than twice as big as what ordinary people smell, which is really a bit smoky."
Sister Yingzi, don't care. ” Miss Ying didn't smile, like a little adult, and said, "I won't vomit, I won't mind." ” Baozi paused for a while, and suddenly said, "When I was eating tonight, I smelled a familiar smell on the fourth lady, which I had smelled before." ” Miss Ying stirred the medicinal juice inside with chopsticks, "And then?"
Baozi said: "The smell on everyone's body is different, even if a woman rubs the same rouge gouache fragrance, but it is also different.
But I've smelled that scent before, so I must have seen that woman before. ” Miss Ying put down her chopsticks, looked at him, and said, "You have been to Jiangnan before, met Master Xie Ming, and met his wife."
Bun shook his head.
"Then tell me where you saw it from," asked Miss Ying.
Baozi still shook his head, but said firmly: "But I just feel familiar, I think the fourth lady may have a little problem." ” Miss Ying said calmly: "If even you feel that something is wrong with the fourth lady, Sister Ye should have noticed it a long time ago."
But if you are not at ease, you can talk to Sister Ye and Brother Su about it. ” Then Baozi sat aside, meditating, and sometimes muttered to himself: "Who is it?"
The deeper he thought, the more he traced the past, and the cocoon-like thoughts guided him to get closer to the truth little by little.
Just after the Ying girl had cooked the medicine, she took it and poured the medicine into the bowl.
Baozi suddenly patted his thighs and stood up, with a solemn expression on his face, turned his head and ran outside, saying: "I know who she is, it must be her, it's her" Baozi ran to Ye Song and Su Jing's courtyard all the time, knocked on the door for a long time, and found that neither of them was in the room, so he couldn't help but sweat profusely, scratching his head and running out again, "Where have they gone, I'm really anxious" The demon prince Xiao Diao concubine :
