Cuinong called for face wash. I looked down and saw that my lips were very pale and white, with a plain satin strip wrapped around my forehead.

couldn't help laughing at himself: "It's really haggard." ”

As soon as his heart sank, the sentence "making people haggard for Yi" inexplicably hit his heart.

Enough is enough, why bother. It is only right to deal with the current predicament first.

I gritted my teeth and walked into the rain with Cuinong and Chloe to start cleaning.

While climbing the steps behind the Suzhi Pavilion Hall, you will gather the leaves and other debris that have been knocked down by the rain and wind.

What does it mean to sweep in the rain - the physical distress can make you less cranky.

A blinding bolt of lightning suddenly tore through the dark clouds of the sky, and thunder followed.

The rain poured down, and the huge raindrops hit the face and hurt.

I have always been a little afraid of thunder, but at this time I inevitably flinched, and subconsciously wanted to find a safe place to hide.

But as far as I can see, there is no place in this palace where I feel safe. In the past, it was relaxing in Huiyin Hall.

Now—I can't help but laugh at myself.

There was Mama Lu's scolding again. It was Kou'er who ran to the eaves of an abandoned palace to hide from the rain, but was seen by Mama Lu, who didn't know where to spy on us, and pushed Kou'er back into the heavy rain without reluctance.

Kou Er was so angry that she cried in the rain. For a while, rain and tears were intertwined.

I silently said in my heart: "I can't bear it, I can't bear it again." ”

Gritted his teeth and continued to sweep the debris on the steps.

The heavy rain reminded me of the tears in front of the rain curtain on the day I learned that Sheng Yao would marry Wu Shanghua. In order to be by his side, in order not to hurt the morning and twilight, I have repeatedly asked myself to compromise, not arguing, not annoying, and not making trouble, in exchange for his distortion and strangeness now.

The rain gradually subsided and turned into a trickling raindrop.

Looking down from dozens of steps high, the Xuzhi Pavilion is lonely and empty. At that time, it was also a majestic palace, and once it was cold, it decayed to this point. It's really very suitable for placing the waste concubine. The rain washed the mottled palace walls white, and only the remaining red paint on the palace door showed the past Xuanhe.

Suddenly the door of the temple was pushed open.

Guan Huiying was full of pearls and emeralds, and she walked in with her head held high, surrounded by many concubines and palace people in the East Palace behind her.

She was full of color, standing under the umbrella held by the palace people, looking around, and at a glance she saw me standing on the steps. Immediately stretched out his index finger and pointed at me and said, "Shuren Qu, don't you come to bow down to me!"

I glanced at her indifferently, and the broom in my hand did not stop at all.

Angered by my indifference, she walked up the stairs in two steps and came up to me, ignoring the light rain that was still falling. The palace people holding umbrellas behind her didn't have time to follow.

At this time, there were only me and Guan Huiying at the top of the steps.

She didn't say a word, raised her hand to slap me, I suddenly smiled contemptuously, and said, "Guan Huiying, don't you think this scene is familiar?"

Her hand paused in the air, and she said suspiciously: "What do you say?"

I gently held her wrist, put her hand down, and said, "I was claustrophobic in the Huiyin Hall that day, and the first one to rush to me for trouble was you." Today, I was deposed in the Xuzhi Pavilion, and it was you who was used as a gun and the first to come. ”

I slowly turned to the side and smiled, "You should always remember that you got a bargain with me that day?"

Guan Huiying was calmed by my words at the beginning, and quickly reacted, and said angrily: "What do you mean that I am being used as a gun? Do you think that a few casual words can make me show mercy to your subordinates today? You still dare to mention the matter in the Huiyin Palace, I suffered such a big loss that day, but because of your position." Today you have been deposed as a concubine, and what am I afraid of?"

I sighed lightly and smiled, "Since you are not afraid, will I?"

I glanced at the door of the hall out of the corner of my eye, then took her hand against my chest, and said loudly: "Mrs. Hui, you and I are both dependents of the East Palace, even if we can't be like sisters, why do you have to work so hard with each other? Now that I have entered the Rank Pavilion, don't you still let me go? Aren't you accumulating virtue for the child in your womb?"

Guan Huiying's face had a stunned expression, but for a moment, she said sharply: "Like a sister? Are you dreaming? All the women in the East Palace are only for the crown prince." Since ancient times, the palace has been tilted and rolled is a serious matter. You can't stand the blow of being scrapped and get dizzy. ”

She tried to withdraw her hand, but I grabbed her.

Hearing this, I nodded with a wry smile and said in a low voice, "I did faint. In contrast, you are much more sober than me in the battle over the palace. ”

I closed my eyes and shouted, "Mrs. Hui, you want to accumulate virtue for the prince's blood!" suddenly let go of her hand, gritted her teeth and fell down the steps.

There are dozens of big bluestone steps, which do not feel very high and long on weekdays. But when I tumbled down the stairs, I wondered in a daze: Can't we stop? When will this kind of torment end?

A pair of gentle hands protected me.

Through the rain lines and blurred vision, it is a vegetarian. Behind her stood Wan Gonggong, the head of Ci'an Palace.

Seeing that blood was gradually oozing out from the inside out of my knees, elbows, and forehead, Su Su couldn't help but hurriedly say, "Why did you do such a cruel hand?"

I lay in Su Su's arms and looked up—Guan Huiying, who was still standing on the high steps, stared at me in disbelief. Her hands were still in the same position they had just been.

The rain is heavy again. The rain quickly washed away the little bloodstains. However, the people of Ci'an Palace, who came with Su Su and Wan Gonggong, saw it.

Presumably, the words that Guan Hui Ying blurted out before were all heard.

I tugged at the corners of my mouth and smiled.

After days of physical and mental injury, in the end it was too weak, and the person fainted.

When I woke up, Su Su sat on the edge of the bed and held my hand. His hair was still a little wet, but he had changed into dry clothes, a soft and silky futon underneath, and a new screen was added to the bed.

Outside the screen, Gonggong Wan bowed down and said: "The old slave is ordered by the Queen Mother, please move to the Huiyin Palace." ”

I smiled and thanked me and said, "The Queen Mother is kind, Xiaoguan understands it." Xiaoguan knew that his words and deeds were ineffective before, and his virtues were not cultivated, and he lived quietly in Xuzhi Pavilion, which was beneficial. ”

Gonggong Wan was slightly stunned, and then persuaded: "Master Qu said this, as if he was still angry with the Queen Mother and her old man." I'm afraid it's not appropriate. ”

I smiled and said: "The Queen Mother can change her opinion of Xiaoguan and return to the Huiyin Palace, so naturally there is the kindness of the princess Wan." Xiaoguan is also impressed. You might as well play the Queen Mother, Xiaoguan should be quiet and recuperate when he is injured and should not move, and he is in Xuzhi Pavilion before the injury is healed. ”

Gonggong Wan thought for a moment and said with a smile: "This is very good. Without disturbing the master of Qu to recuperate from his injuries, the old slave retired first. ”

I glanced over, and Cuinong immediately said respectfully: "Your side, please." "I didn't mention it when I went out with my father-in-law.
