House roof tile pieces transmitting coming echoing moving. Wu Yun stepping holding tile pieces jumping arriving at his tightly pulled's shoulders upon. Lightly, lightly meowing dropped a single sound: "A single night hadn't slept?"
Chen Ji en'ing a single sound: "Previously greedy for sleep is desiring to redundantly dream arriving at somewhat what. Eyes beneath these several days yet un-capable of doing dreams already. Very numerous matters must consider brightly brightly only then walking... How Heavens brightening only then returning coming. Is heading to look at Commandery Princess already or?"

Wu Yun lacking spirit hitting gathering's (listlessly) prostrating at desk son upon: "Still at Three Purities Patriarch statues front kneeling holding. Back spine brushing causing straightly, straightly's. But people universally thin stripping shapes already. Beside sides possessing small eunuch giving's rice dishes she also hadn't moved. Merely eating dropped somewhat pulling descending coming's tribute fruits. Quickly taking her rescuing exiting coming right. Carrying her heading to Li shop pulling most softly pliant's Cloud Brocade. Heading Heavenly Treasure Pavilion hitting most time flourishing's hairpins rings. She most joyfully liking that type of cleanly cleanly purely purely's white clothing. Identical to new descending's snow... Hurriedly tightly taking that body of blue Daoist robes burning dropping.

Wu Yun meowing dropped a single sound: "Still possessing six days."
Chen Ji feelingly sighing: "Is ah. Still possessing six days."
Wu Yun excellently strangely said: "Body upon's injury momentum how already?"
Chen Ji language breath lightly sketching faintly writing (understated). Identical to at speaking bystander people's matters: "Lacking harm."
Flogging punishing ninety. Hitting breaking nineteen roots of Court Flogging. But Chen Ji suffering's injuries. Compared to considering imaging center even more lightly. First singly time Court Flogging forty. Skin opening flesh blooming (bursting). Waiting until he anew dragging holding Yuan Wang returning heading time simply already completely healed.
Opening creating Govern the World and Provide for the People these two named editions faces locally carrying coming's name hope varying transforming. Still possessing those four strips of Striped Marks returning fire carrying coming's Furnace Fire varying transforming.

Anew waiting until he returning arriving at Liquor Alley. New suffering fifty floggings' injuries also a single night interval completely healed.
Wu Yun suddenly speaking said: "Properly already. I today night seeing catching sight of a named strangely odd's small eunuch. I seeing catching sight of he a single named person at Imperial Garden west north corners's Piling Elegance Mountain bottom beneath borrowing holding moon light looking at books. Looking for good longly. A single moving un-moving. I crossing passing near approaching's time weather. He suddenly turning his head looking at me. Still with me hitting calling greeting (greeting) coming holding."
Chen Ji considering pondering. Wu Yun seeing catching sight of's ought to be Chang Xiu. This person actually capable of at black night center checkinging (detecting) Wu Yun. Definitely by no means waiting idling's generation (ordinary person).
This person ought to be Inner Chancellor heart stomach (confidant). Now exiting appointing Trouble-Resolving Guard Chiliarch. Considering coming also is Lin Chaoqing exiting matters after. Inner Chancellor anew newly seizing returning dropped somewhat Trouble-Resolving Guards' official powers handles.
Strangely odd. This type of people why isn't zodiacs?
Precisely at this time. Possessing people knocking echoing courtyard doors.
Dong dong dong.
Chen Ji lifting head looking at conjoining shutting's doors. Hands center's hemp cloth slowly, slowly wiping passing Whale Blade: "Whoever?"
Doors outside transmitting coming sounds: "Chen Ji. Is me."

Collar mouths sleeve edges embroidering holding a single finger broadly's weaving gold hem edges. The other party today days not yet wearing head ornaments. Merely a single branch of simply plain's white jade hairpin tying holding long hair.
Qi Zhaoning body after is Qi Zhenzhu still as before carrying holding face veil. The Qi Family's horse carriage distantly, distantly waiting at Liquor Alley outside.
Chen Ji left right measuring checking for a moment. Solidly determining doors outside only possessing these two people. Gazes only then again returning arriving at Qi Zhaoning face upon.
Qi Zhaoning lowering head looking at Chen Ji hands center's Whale Blade. Hesitating to Speak.
Two people separating holding a single path of door thresholds submerging silently allowing longly. Qi Zhaoning in a low voice asking said: "Un-inviting me... advancing to go sitting, sitting or?"
Chen Ji considering searching for a moment. Side body yielding road.
Qi Zhaoning straightly directly toward inside walking. Four beneath measuring checking holding small courtyard.
Small courtyard is compasses entirely's (regular) long square shape (rectangular). Cyan bricks paving ground. West wall roots beneath. A single tree old scholar tree supporting opening sparsely thinning's branches forks. East wall beside attaching holding a named simply crudely's grape frame. A single piece of grand horse tied at grape frames beneath peacefully, peacefully, quietly, quietly's standing holding.
Un-finely arriving (Not exquisite). But also un-simply crudely.
Qi Zhaoning lifting head looking at Eaves slowly, slowly speaking said: "Hearing older brother speaking. This inside previously was Physician Yao's residing location. Early somewhat years Capital City Officials nobles night inside if is possessing dropped anxiously urgently ailing. Simply about to take people sending arriving at this location. Compared to sending heading Imperial Academy of Medicine good utilizing. I small time weather at estate center seeing passing Physician Yao.

Waiting until grandfather good already. Father smoothly mouths speaking dropped sentence Buddha Patriarch protecting blessing. Physician Yao choking dropped father a single sentence 'illness is I rescuing good's. You thanking Buddha Patriarch doing what'."
Speaking arriving at this location. Qi Zhaoning tolerating un-holding smiling exiting dropped sounds.
Chen Ji a single time possessing somewhat vaguely naturally (dazed). Solidly genuinely is identically Master capable of speaking exiting coming's words. He turning his head anew newly examining this seat of small courtyard. He also is this moment only then knowing. Emperor Ning actually taking Master previously front's residing location sending giving himself.
Qi Zhaoning excellently strangely said: "Physician Yao is a named what models and appearances's person?"
Chen Ji looking toward Qi Zhaoning's back shadow: "Merely is a named carving thinly's (mean) small old head and finishing already... Third Miss Qi this similarly early creating visiting (calling upon). Is about to persuade me six days after separately head Imperial Music Bureau?"
Qi Zhaoning hadn't answered. Merely beckoning hands letting Qi Zhenzhu carrying coming a single singly minutely, minutely small's white porcelain bottle: "This is Mount Laojun Daoist Court every year sending my Qi Family's injury medicine. Ordinarily searching outside injuries a single day simply capable of completely healing. Anew heavily somewhat's must about to three days. You yesterday's injuries... still hurting un-hurting?"
Chen Ji standing at original location un-moving. Hadn't headed receiving porcelain bottle. Inversely and identically cupping hands said: "Un-obstructing matters's. Much thanking Third Miss Qi."
Qi Zhaoning seeing he un-willingly to receive. Simply placing at a single side stone desks upon. Lowly hanging holding eye curtains: "Chen Ji. Separately artificially causing (touch) Feng Xi."
Chen Ji possessing somewhat outside intents: "Why?"
Qi Zhaoning sincerely earnestly said: "I hearing second uncle with older brother speaking rising. They yesterday night calling the Qi Family Practitioners advancing the Capital. Simply guarding at Court of State Ceremonial outside faces waiting you today days heading to grab Feng Xi. Feng Xi hands feet un-cleanly, cleanly purely, purely. But people evidence, physical objects evidence universally at my Qi Family hands inside. Following time capable of destroying to go. They discussing measuring safely. A single dawn you hitting killing Feng Xi. Simply about to destroy to go all possessing evidence. Borrowing this taking you determining sins. Lightly then exiling releasing to Lingnan. Heavily then autumn after asking slashing (execution)."
Chen Ji un-moving sounds colors said: "Third Miss Qi is Qi Family person. Why with me speaking these?"
Qi Zhaoning congealingly viewing holding his both eyes: "I today days isn't the Qi Family person. Merely is Qi Zhaoning and finishing already."
Chen Ji submerging silently already.
Qi Zhaoning faintly smiled. In a low voice speaking said: "Chen Ji. I a single opening starting foolishly (obsessed) with Bianliang Four Dreams. Always taking you considering accomplishing Li Changge. Always considering holding you capable of identical to toward words volumes inside that positioned Commandery Princess a single identically toward me. After coming you and I possessed dropped marriage treaties. I hearing holding Capital City's females discussing evaluating you. Yearning admiring you. I simply will stealthily joy. You aren't them's. You are my's."
Chen Ji hadn't spoken words. Merely quietly quietly hearing holding.
Qi Zhaoning lowly sighing a single sound: "But after coming I brightly brightly (understood) already. You aren't Li Changge. Also aren't my's. You are bystander people's. I looking arriving at you for the sake of Miss Bai Li buying hairpins. Heart inside jealously envying causing identically is possessing Cat at scratching.

"I originally used acting as myself hating dying you already. But hearing speaking you suffered Court Flogging punishing still as before is tolerating un-holding carrying heart (worried). Previously front still small. Hearing plays's time weather always sensing inside faces possessing somewhat numerous ancient matters (stories) hearing un-brightly brightly. Un-brightly brightly why possessing somewhat loves looking rising coming identical to hates. Why possessing somewhat hates again looking rising coming identical to loves. Waiting until myself experiencing passing already only then brightly brightly. People this a single lifetimes simply this models and appearances's. Speaking loves too barren tang (absurd). Speaking hates too absolutely facing. Only capable of mixinging at together."
Qi Zhaoning lifting head looking toward Chen Ji: "But you and I possessed dropped marriage treaties. Annotating determiningly is about to mutually secure's. I knowing you un-joyfully liking me. But a single generation generation older generations also universally are this similarly passing coming's. Rising initially mutually by no means joyfully liking. After coming taking days and sons crossing holding crossing holding also simply habituated to already. My grandfather early previously also un-joyfully liking grandmother. But now also is mutually respectfully identically to guests. White heads joining old already. You realizing at accomplished dropping Eunuch Faction. Somewhat numerous people at cursing you.

Waiting until Capital City wind peacefully waves quietly already. Waiting until you and I possessed dropped children. Simply allowing her giving you acting as concubines. Arriving time I also un-driving her heading Jinling already. Simply letting her waiting treating at your body beside. Good un-good?"
Small courtyard inside peacefully quietly descending coming. Chen Ji quietly quietly looking at eyes front's Qi Zhaoning. He first singly time seeing the other party taking posture behaviors releasing causing this similarly lowly. But the other party locally speaking. He receiving accepting un-finishing.
Chen Ji farthest finally still as before sighing breath said: "Third Miss Qi. Embracing apologizing (sorry)."
Qi Zhaoning backing passing body to go. Using hand backs wiping and wiping face cheeks: "A single determiningly about to this models and appearances or? Simply is I identical to this retreating yielding also un-capable?"
