Chapter 19: The Storm (9)

On the way back, Zhize kept hugging me tightly, his face full of melancholy, shaking his head and sighing from time to time. Seeing him in such pain made my heart ache.

"Zhize, why did you say that the queen mother should help us? Hasn't she always been at odds with you?"

"Who knows. Zhi Ze smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Did she really want to help me, or did she have other intentions? I thought about it to no avail, and I remembered the scene when I met her just now, and recalled her every move, not like she was deliberately pretending, I couldn't help but be a little shaken, maybe she really wanted to help me.

When I returned to the palace, I rushed back to my residence non-stop, and I was in a hurry to walk in the morning, and I didn't know how the spring rain was now.

"Miss, you're back. Seeing me appear outside the door, Chunyu hurriedly dropped the work at hand and greeted him, with a faint red still hanging on his left cheek.

"Chunyu, are you okay? I was in too much hurry in the morning, and I didn't have time to see if you were seriously injured. "I feel like I owe her so much for this good sister.

"Hey, it's been fine for a long time, Miss, you see, isn't it better now. ”

Chunyu looked indifferent, welcomed me into the house, and asked with concern: "Miss, has the emperor agreed to your marriage?"

I sighed and told Chunyu the ins and outs of the matter.

"It's... It's really hard to do. "I heard that the emperor is not optimistic about me, and Chunyu also frowned.

"Sometimes I really want to leave like this, I really don't want Zhize to be wronged for me. "If I hadn't happened to meet the Queen Mother on the way, maybe I would have been far away from this place by now.

"No!" I didn't expect Chunyu to listen to my frustrating words, and suddenly scolded me with a cold face as if he was stimulated by something.

"Spring rain... What's wrong with you?" I looked at Chunyu who seemed to be angry in front of me inexplicably, did I do something wrong?

"Miss, you have to remember that now you are no longer a child who has someone to help you share the wind and rain, if you want to survive in this world, you must learn to persevere, you can't give up easily, and escaping is never the solution to the problem. ”

"But... I don't want to see hope..."I don't want my dream to come true, but the pressure of reality seems to be too heavy, far beyond what I can bear.

"There will be many such predicaments on the road of life in the future, do you want to escape for the rest of your life? There used to be a home, but herself, who else can the young lady count on now?"

Under the spring rain's series of questions, I can't defend at all, what the spring rain said is very right, now I can only rely on myself to survive in this world.

"Miss, don't be discouraged, it's not the worst situation now, I believe there will definitely be a chance in the future. Chunyu's face gradually softened, and he caressed my shoulders and comforted me.

Isn't it the worst? I smiled wryly and asked, "What's worse?"

Chunyu looked at me with a little playfulness, as if in her eyes, I was just an ignorant little hairy child. "Miss, do you know why that Miss Wang came?"

"Didn't she come to find Zhize?" As soon as I remembered her screaming for Brother Zhize, I felt goosebumps all over my body.

"Miss, you are so naΓ―ve. "At this time, the spring rain is becoming more and more strange to me, is this the spring rain that my former good friend is?

I suddenly had a strange thought in my heart, could it be that this person is not Chunyu? Looking at the woman in front of me, I was stunned.

Chunyu didn't notice my gaffe, and continued: "I saw it clearly at the time, it wasn't Miss who hit her, but Miss she deliberately bumped into her!"

How is this possible, I have no grievances with her, why should I deliberately find fault with me. I always thought that I was not very friendly to her afterwards and annoyed her, could there be something else to this matter?

"Obviously, she had inquired about the details of the young lady early in the morning, and this morning's incident was the trap she had set for the young lady. ”

Seeing that I was confused, Chunyu was kind and seductive: "That Miss Wang is a person with a pungent personality and a short temper at first glance, has Miss ever thought that there is something wrong with the other party?"

Something is wrong? I shook my head blankly.

The slave maid thought that if she was really angry, how could she be so polite to the young lady, even if she didn't do it herself, she would go to the prince to sue a wicked person first. "According to Chunyu, Wang Ruoxi has always been provocative to me, and it seems that it does not make sense.

"Is she trying to force me to do it first?" I said with suspicion that it seemed like the only possibility.

"Exactly. Imagine that at this time, the young lady is at best a concubine of the prince, and she has no reputation, and she is the daughter of the dignified Situ family. If Miss is angered by her and makes disrespectful remarks or actions, Miss is afraid that she will not be able to be a princess in this life. ”

At that time, I still wanted to teach Wang Ruoxi a lesson, and after listening to Chunyu's words, I couldn't help but feel afraid. The ancients paid the most attention to etiquette and ethics when choosing a wife, and if such ugly things were spread, how could they gain a foothold in the royal family.

"Chunyu, thanks to your reminder at the time, otherwise I would definitely be..."Fortunately, none of this happened, I held Chunyu's hand tightly and didn't know what to say, I kept wondering why Chunyu suddenly pretended to be pitiful and knelt in front of me to beg for mercy, it turned out to remind me not to fall into Wang Ruoxi's trap.

Chunyu didn't seem to be very happy, still frowning: "Miss, didn't I warn you before, you must think twice about everything, don't be so impulsive in the future." ”

I'm really useless, Chunyu told me these words before, but why don't I think about it, it seems that I really have to pay attention to everything in the future.

At this moment, with a rush of footsteps, the door was slammed open, and a maid held on to the door frame and said breathlessly: "Niangniang, it's not good... Lord Situ has come to the door!"
