The officials were confused as they listened to Hua Yanxi's words. Why did the matter of selling salt suddenly become involved in national affairs? Their faces were confused.
Hua Yanxi looked at these people who had been in the comfort zone for a long time and didn't say anything more. Even if she did, they didn't understand.
They only need to control the quality and output of the salt, and she will take care of the rest.
Because of the plug-in Ye Yibai, Hua Yanxi knew almost everything about the situation in Xishan, so she could just give the order.
Xishan is close to the sea and has a colder climate than Beijing.
The charcoal fire in Hua Yanxi's house was burning well, and the windows on all sides were sealed tightly with cotton cloth covering the air vents, so it wasn't too cold.
Hua Yanxi sat in the house for a few hours, feeling a little depressed, so she decided to go outside for a walk.
After wrapping myself in fox fur, I opened the door and went out.
There was a sheet of snow falling on the ground, and even the top of the head was the color of goose feathers.
Walking in the snow, it makes a crunching sound.
It was already late at night, and the workers in the village were already asleep. There were only people watching on the tops of the towers on the four sides.
Hua Yanxi didn't go far. She walked around and came back. As she was about to go back to her room, she caught a glimpse of the second floor from the corner of her eye.
That's Ye Yibai's residence, and the lights are dark here.
During the few days when Hua Yanxi was busy, Ye Yibai discussed Xishan with her during the day. When night fell, there was no one around, and he hid in the room alone and didn't know what he was doing.
Could it be that he is afraid of the cold?
Hua Yanxi felt strange and went upstairs.
He finally came to his senses when he reached the door of the room. It was late at night and he must have fallen asleep. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he heard a roar coming from inside.
There was pain and struggle in the voice, as if someone had strangled his neck.
Hua Yanxi immediately reached out and pushed the door open. The door was locked. She took out a long bamboo stick from the space, moved the wooden pin and pushed the door open.
The room was dark and cold, and there was no fire. It seemed to be even colder than outside. Hua Yanxi couldn't help but shiver.
"Ye Yibai?" Hua Yanxi shouted as she walked closer.
However, no one answered at this moment.
After lighting the candle on the table, the room was brightly lit, and he saw Ye Yibai lying on the bed.
The man's eyes were closed tightly, his limbs were tense, and his whole body seemed to be forcibly fixed on the bed. From time to time, he let out painful roars from his mouth.
Hua Yanxi thought he had a nightmare and reached out to the bed to push him awake.
He pushed a few times but to no avail. He seemed to be trapped in his own emotions, as if he was being tortured.
Hua Yanxi stretched out her hand to feel his pulse, but his fists were clenched and his body was tense. He couldn't feel his pulse at all, but she found that his whole body was hot, like a ball of fire.
Hua Yanxi quickly reached out and opened his clothes, took out a silver needle, and stuck the ivory needle into his ribs and abdomen to make him relax.
Unexpectedly, even though Ye Yibai was unconscious, he instinctively raised his head and punched Hua Yanxi.
Hua Yanxi dodged in time, but was still injured by the wind of the fist. She was hit and took a few steps back. She felt her blood surge up and a line of blood flowed out from the corner of her lips.
Ye Yibai still showed no sign of waking up.
Hua Yanxi had never faced such signs before, so she could only roughly judge that Ye Yibai might have gone crazy, so she did not dare to apply the needle easily and quickly pulled out the silver needle.
Fortunately, except that his whole body was hot and his limbs were tense, he didn't scream anymore, so Hua Yanxi pulled up a chair and sat beside him to watch over him.
As soon as I sat down, it was dawn.
Ye Yibai felt that his whole body was as exhausted as if he were soaking in water. He was dripping with sweat. He was about to get up and go downstairs to wash up as usual, when he saw Hua Yanxi who had been leaning on the chair and had fallen asleep for some time.
.
"Yan Yan?" Ye Yibai was shocked.
He reached out to pull her, but found that her little hands were cold.
Ye Yibai was startled, and quickly stood up, carried her to the bed, and covered her with a quilt.
He kept rubbing her hands and feet under the quilt until her body softened, and then he hurriedly went to the doctor.
Because the climate in Xishan is changeable, doctors are specially prepared here.
After checking her pulse, the doctor determined that Hua Yanxi had cold air entering her body and she had some internal injuries.
Ye Yibai had also guessed that cold air had entered his body, but he couldn't figure out how the internal injury came from.
She has no impression of why Hua Yanxi came to her room.
When the doctor went to stay up late, Ye Yibai stayed by the bedside, covered her with two more quilts, asked someone to bring a brazier, and then began to use internal power to heal her injuries.
The medicine was boiled and brought to her, but Hua Yanxi still didn't wake up. She couldn't get the medicine in after several times. Even if she tried to force it in, she would spit it out. It took her a long time and several doses of medicine before she finally managed to get it in.
Drink half of it.
Ye Juechen also came over to check after hearing this. Due to the protection between men and women, he did not come in directly, but asked about the situation carefully through a screen. He heard that Hua Yanxi was infected with wind and cold, and ordered someone to bring medicine prescribed by the palace doctor.
ball.
There is medicine inside, and the surface is coated with sugar. This solves the problem of Hua Yanxi not drinking medicine.
In winter, the days are short and the nights are long, and it’s night again in the blink of an eye.
Even though Ye Yibai tried to suppress it, the abnormality in his body gradually took over. He held on to his body and took one last look at Hua Yanxi, who was lying peacefully on the bed.
"Keep an eye on her, and don't follow her." Ye Yibai squeezed out these words through his teeth and ran out, leaving the guards guarding the door.
Ah Yu looked at the door, then at Ye Yibai, who felt something was wrong, and said anxiously: "There seems to be something wrong with the way the master is acting. Should we follow him and take a look."
"Master said not to follow. If you don't want to die, just stay here." Ah Ying said.
"Master has been really strange these past few days. In the past, he liked to stick to my wife the most, but these days he seems to be hiding away on purpose." Ah Yu said in confusion. Then he thought of something and suddenly realized, "Could it be that Master listened to my words?"
, are you going to change your route and play hard to get?"
Several guards stood guard at the door, quietly guessing.
Ye Yibai rushed downstairs and almost hit someone.
Ye Juechen happened to come back from the salt field and saw Ye Yibai's appearance. Just as he was about to speak, the man had already galloped out on horseback.
"Why is it that Hua Yanxi is awake when she looks like she's looking for a fight?" Ye Juechen frowned.
"Master, it's going to snow soon. It's very dangerous for the Fifth Prince to ride out like this." The guard beside him said.
Ye Juechen thought for a moment: "Don't worry about him."
Soon, heavy snowflakes spread down in an instant, covering the entire mountain densely.
Ye Juechen rode all the way to the top of the mountain when he suddenly fell off his horse and plunged into a thick snowdrift.
Soon, the snow around him melted and formed a long puddle under him.
The puddle did not solidify due to the cold air and falling snow on the top of the mountain. Instead, it melted away little by little and had a tendency to gradually expand.
Ye Yibai just soaked his limbs stiffly in the ice water, occasionally letting out suppressed roars.
