As soon as Wei took He Linwan to get out of the carriage, the people who had been waiting outside the second gate came up and said that the old lady was invited.

The mother and daughter went to Ronghua Courtyard, and as soon as they entered the door, they found that the second lady, He Ajiao's mother and daughter and the fourth wife's mother and daughter were there, and even He Guanghui, who rarely appeared in the inner courtyard on weekdays, was there.

When He Ajiao saw Wei come in, she wanted to ask about tonight's palace banquet, but the second lady interrupted He Ajiao first: "Have you heard any news about the third child?"

Wei said with a worried face: "I only heard that my husband left the camp with a team of men and horses with Gongsun half a month ago, and then I lost the news. ”

Wei did not tell them what the Empress had told her, because she knew they could not count on it.

The old lady finally spoke out and explained to He Guanghui: "You are also running an errand outside now, helping to inquire about the news of the third child." ”

He Guanghui bowed his head and replied "yes".

Yu interjected on the side: "It's been so long, I heard that the Daji Kingdom has withdrawn its troops one after another, and the three uncles have not been found, it can't be that something happened, right?"

Although everyone also had this kind of concern in their hearts, no one responded to Yu's words.

He Guanghui also comforted Wei's by a sentence: "Third sister-in-law, don't worry too much, I will send someone to Dengzhou tomorrow to inquire." ”

Wei thanked him.

Yu Shi looked at the two of them, but sighed heavily: "Third sister-in-law, you are really unfavorable for the past year! First, Ah Wan was inexplicably seriously ill, and then there was an accident in her mother's family, and now even the third uncle is missing, if you want me to say it." You'd better find a temple to worship. ”

Although Yu's words seem to be caring, they mean that Wei's life is hard, so everyone who has a relationship with her has suffered this year.

The old lady also glanced at Wei.

Wei stood there with his eyes down, his expression cold.

He Guanghui frowned and said, "What nonsense!"

Yu glanced at He Guanghui and gritted her teeth secretly, but she didn't dare to refute He Guanghui, and she didn't dare to splash in front of the old lady, so she could only turn her head and shut up.

Instead, the old lady said to He Guanghui: "What are you doing to murder her? She is not wrong! The third daughter-in-law, you have to go to the temple to pay respects! lest you bring bad luck to the house." ”

Yu raised his eyebrows and glanced at Wei.

Wei's eyebrows did not move, and he answered in a low voice, and He Linwan looked at the corner of his mouth with a sneer on the side.

Just after going back on this day. Wei and He Lin stayed awake all night.

also tossed all night, and the brightly lit Lingxi Pavilion of Qingxi Palace was also brightly lit.

In the middle of the night. The two palace maids who were guarding the side couldn't hold back and fell asleep, but Ning Yi, who was lying on the bed, opened his eyes, his face was abnormally flushed, and he looked like he had a high fever.

Ning Yi closed his eyes. When I opened it again, my eyes were much clearer. He remained motionless and endured the heart-piercing pain of the wound. None of their brows furrowed.

The imperial physician originally wanted to prescribe Ma Buddha San to him, but he refused.

After staring at the bed tent above his head for a moment, Ning Yi reached out and touched the things under the pillow. Not wanting to touch the void, Ning Yi's face immediately became gloomy, he sat up with a white and bloodless face, and then raised his hand to sweep the medicine bowl on the bedside table to the ground.

The two palace maids who were dozing off were immediately awakened by the sound, and when they saw Ning Yi sitting up, they hurriedly got up in a panic and ran to the bedside.

"Do you want water?"

"Let's go and call the imperial doctor first, do you want to report to the princess?"

Ning Yi interrupted the two panicked palace maids in a cold voice: "Who moved the things in my room?"

The two palace maids were stunned when they heard this, and looked at Shang Ning Yi's cold gaze, and one of the palace maids said in the period: "Sister Qingyu beside the princess came this morning. ”

Ning Yi staggered out of bed, his face was as white as paper, and the two palace maids immediately wanted to step forward to help, but when Ning Yi looked at him, he froze in place.

"She took my things?" Ning Yi's voice was so cold that the two palace maids couldn't help but shiver.

"Sister Qingyu took away the two little clay puppets. The palace maid didn't dare to offend Ning Yi, so she immediately confessed.

Another palace maid added: "Sister Qingyu saw that the two clay puppets were good-looking, and said that she would take them to the princess to play." ”

Ning Yi pursed his lips tightly, looked at the half-burned candle lit on the desk and didn't speak, the beating flame was reflected in his pupils, but it didn't make his eyes stained with half warmth,

There was a deathly silence in the room.

At this moment, footsteps came from far and near, and then Princess Huyang's voice sounded: "Is Ning Yi awake?"

The two palace maids couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and immediately went to welcome the princess in.

As soon as the princess came, she saw Ning Yi get out of bed, stomped her feet and said angrily: "Didn't the imperial doctor say that you should take good care of him? How do you take care of him? Why don't you help him to lie down on the bed!"

The palace maids glanced at each other, lowered their heads and stepped forward to help Ning Yi.

Ning Yi raised his hand to block their approach, and walked back to the bed and sat down: "Princess, where is my clay puppet?"

Princess Huyang found a chair near the bed and sat down, and said unconcernedly: "Oh, that! I don't think they look good, let Qingyu put them in the Qiqiao Building, maybe someone has picked them up." By the way, the doctor explained that if you wake up in the middle of the night, you will drink a bowl of medicine, and you can bring the medicine in!"

Ning Yi said: "Since you don't look good, please give it back to me." ”

Princess Huyang turned her head and instructed Qingyu: "You go and ask the imperial doctor, can he drink some porridge now." ”

Ning Yi frowned: "Princess!"

Princess Huyang suddenly changed her face, and said to Ning Yi: "Don't pay it back! I won't pay it back! It's so ugly, it's good to lose it!" After finishing it, she ordered a little aggrievedly, "You carve me a Mohora like me and give it to me!

Qingyu couldn't help but reproach Ning Yi softly: "It's just two Mohoras, the princess doesn't like you to do two more! ”

Ning Yi sat still expressionlessly.

Princess Huyang couldn't help crying, she was not very old, and she was still ignorant about emotional matters, but the more ignorant and simple people were, the more sensitive they were to certain things. Princess Huyang inexplicably disliked the two clay puppets in front of her when she saw Qingyu in the morning, and she even impulsively wanted to smash them directly and step on them again.

Princess Huyang herself didn't know where the inexplicable emotions came from at that time, she just faintly felt that seeing those two clay puppets was like seeing another Ning Yi, a Ning Yi who made her completely unfamiliar, and this strange Ning Yi was something she could never touch.

And now that Ning Yi still gave her a look because of the two clay puppets, Princess Huyang was extremely aggrieved.

Qingyu anxiously whispered to comfort the princess, but the princess kept crying despite ignoring it, and the atmosphere in the room was a little awkward.

Finally, Ning Yi spoke: "Don't cry. ”

Although his voice was stiff, his tone was much softer.

Princess Huyang cried even louder when she heard this, but her eyes quietly glanced at Ning Yi.

Ning Yi glanced at Princess Huyang and said lightly: "If you keep crying, your eyes will be swollen into peaches tomorrow morning, princess." ”

Princess Huyang thought about her appearance and couldn't help but burst into tears. The people around him also breathed a sigh of relief.

Princess Huyang wiped her tears and pouted reluctantly and said, "Don't be angry, it's a big deal I'll let them get your two broken mud puppets back and return them to you!"

Ning Yi slowly lay back on the bed and closed his eyes: "Let's burn it after taking it back." ”

Princess Huyang was stunned for a moment, looked at Ning Yi and said tentatively: "Burned?

Ning Yi bent the corners of his mouth: "I originally planned to burn it." ”

Princess Huyang immediately became happy, she didn't notice the coldness in Ning Yi's smile, and took the opportunity to make a request: "Then can you make me two better-looking? ”

Ning Yi didn't open his eyes: "I hurt my hand, and I won't be able to hold the carving knife in the future." ”

Princess Huyang immediately became uncomfortable when she heard this: "Then, forget it, wait until your hands are completely healed." I'll let the Imperial Doctor heal you. ”

Ning Yi didn't speak again, as if he had fallen asleep. Princess Huyang sat there, staring at Ning Yi's perfect sleeping face in a daze, and watched for a long time before leaving under Qingyu's persuasion.

What Princess Huyang didn't know was that shortly after she fell asleep, Qingyu was called to the main hall by Concubine Xian.

Early the next morning, the palace maid brought a bowl of medicine to Ning Yi, and Ning Yi took a sip and then moved.

"I said I don't need to use Ma Buddha San. ”

The palace maid lowered her head and looked at her shoes, and answered the question: "Concubine Xian Niangniang is invited." ”

Ning Yi lowered his eyes and looked at the medicine bowl in his hand for a moment, then raised his hand and drank the bowl of medicine with Ma Buddha San.

When Ning Yi knelt in front of Concubine Xian, his expression was calm, and his body didn't even shake for half a minute, but his pale face made people see that his current physical condition was extremely bad.

Concubine Xian sat on the top and looked at Ning Yi condescendingly, and said lightly: "I have a good appearance." ”

After saying this, Concubine Xian turned her head and asked Aunt Yin, "The princess hasn't gotten up yet?"

Aunt Yin lowered her head and returned: "The princess only fell asleep in the second half of the night yesterday, I'm afraid she won't wake up so early." ”

Concubine Xian didn't say anything more, picked up an embroidery shed and needlework on the side and embroidered the upper, as if she had forgotten that there was another Ning Yi.

Ning Yi, who had been kneeling, finally couldn't support it anymore, his body couldn't help shaking, but in the end he still gritted his teeth and stood up, but his face was a little paler.

Concubine Xian suddenly instructed Aunt Yin without raising her head, "Give the medicine." ”

Her voice was naturally soft, but these three or two words came out of her mouth lightly, but people couldn't help but feel chills in their hearts.

Ning Yi's body stiffened, but he still knelt and didn't move.

Aunt Yin glanced at Ning Yi, and soon came in with a tea tray, on which was a gagged medicine bottle.

Aunt Yin stood in front of Ning Yi with the medicine and looked at him with a cold gaze.
