At the end of the day, the sky was slightly bright, and the gray clouds obscured the rising sun, and after a few thunders, accompanied

In the palace, the maids had already gotten up to start a busy day.

"Hey, it's raining, it's going to rain, and Madame's favorite clothes don't seem to be dry. One maid in the corridor complained unhappily to the other two.

One of them said, "Lian Qi, you are stupid, you can't take it and dry it in the stove." ”

"Roast it, Liya, don't you know that the clothes made of silk are a tribute from the Yueyin Kingdom to our Dragon Shadow Kingdom, and then the emperor will reward our prince with a tribute. That time, when the prince set up Mrs. as a side concubine, he rewarded it to Mrs. again, usually Mrs. was careful to wear it for fear of being damaged, and told me not to put it on the fire to roast, in case the test was broken, she would not peel my skin. With her head held high, her smug expression made it clear that she was showing off how favored her master was.

The faces of the two people next to them were a little ugly, and before they could refute, another voice interjected: "Hey, Lian Qi, Liya, what are you three rubbing here?" A maid came with a bowl of black and slimy decoction.

Looking at the person who came, the maid who was called Liya pulled Yingxin and smiled very enthusiastically and said, "No, no, it's Lian Qi, early in the morning to show off to me and Yingxin to help her master." By the way, Xiangqing, did you give this medicine to the young lady who the prince brought back a few days ago?"

"Well, the maid who is called Xiangqing nodded.

Speaking of Lin Xiaoyou, Yingxin clasped his fists with both hands, and said with a expression: "Wow, I think of that night, the prince hugged the young lady with a nervous face, and when he entered the door, he only dropped a sentence to pass the words of the imperial doctor, and carried the person to his own bedroom. ”

Liya nodded on Yingxin's head with her index finger and said with a smile: "We are all slaves, so you don't have to dream there." Maybe there will be a princess soon, and everyone will have to step aside, so it's not a big deal?"

Lian Qi, who was left out in the cold, snorted: "It's not a big deal, at least this palace is still being taken care of by my wife now." Besides, if my wife steps aside, I'm afraid the wives of the two of you will be even worse. ”

It has been an unchanging truth since ancient times that a person attains the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven. The master has a status, and the maid is naturally strong. Looking at the scene of gunsmoke, Xiangqing hurriedly said: "Oh, I'll go first, and it's cold when the medicine is taken." The doctor told you to be sure to feed the medicine on time, it's not good to be cold. He ignored a few people and walked straight away.

"Hmph" The remaining three people parted unhappily.

As the bedroom where Xiahou Yichen lived, Shihuan Courtyard was the largest and quietest courtyard in the entire palace. Usually, except for a few servants and guards who are waiting, other wives and concubines are not allowed to come in without permission. Since rescuing Lin Xiaoyou, Xiahou Yichen has moved to live in the study, and occasionally comes to take a look, and her identity has naturally become the object of suspicion among the next people.

The rainy weather in early spring, with a refreshing chill, is a little colder than before. Walking into the house, it is indescribably warm and comfortable. The furnishings are simple and chic, with a large carved sandalwood bed with a low veil, tables and chairs made of sandalwood in the middle, a sword carved with totems and gems and a few gold-edged calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, and the whole room is filled with a faint fragrance of sandalwood.

Putting down the medicine bowl, Xiangqing was ready to go to Fu Lin Xiaoyu to get up and feed the medicine as usual, walked to the side of the bed and lifted the curtain, and the brocade quilt was embroidered inside, but the person did not know where to go.

"This is over" Xiangqing is a little anxious, where will people go? These days, Lin Xiaoyu's condition has been very unstable, and she is always groggy and sober, and the prince arranged for her to take care of her, and now that the person is gone, how can she explain it.

In fact, when she went out to boil medicine, Lin Xiaoyou woke up, only feeling that she had slept for a long time, and nightmares made her unable to tell whether it was true or false. Dizzy to get up, the unfamiliar environment around her made her not know where she was.

Walking out of the door, the sky outside is faintly bright, and the surrounding scenery is faintly visible. It is a large courtyard, surrounded by carved pink walls, and the stone path in the courtyard is dotted with mountain stones and flowers. A clear stream of water gushes down the rockery crevices in the pool below, and countless colorful fish swim happily in it. Shaded by green trees, the pavilion and attic are rising, and in the corner of the courtyard, a burly banyan tree rises from the ground. In it, the sense of tranquility and lightness makes people feel refreshed, as if they are far away from the earthly grievances.

This kind of scenery layout is by no means comparable to the Lin Mansion, and Lin Xiaoyu unconsciously moved into the courtyard, feeling the refreshing vitality. Unexpectedly, thunder swept across the sky, and dense raindrops followed, hitting the body coldly, rendering a more sad atmosphere.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and Lin Xiaoyu stood alone in the rain without dodging, letting the rain slide down his face. Now she is more sober than ever, and no one can tell the ups and downs of life, right and wrong. There is no undo from what happened, and the only thing that can be done is to bring back the pain that others have inflicted on them. ”

"I will definitely not admit defeat!" Lin Xiaoyou raised his head and shouted, but he didn't shout out the original simple words.

Pinching his neck and clearing his throat, he said a few more words, but there was still no sound, and in an instant, two words came to his mind, dumb.

"No, no, no" denied it in his heart, pinching his neck even harder with his hands, coughing constantly, and still unable to speak after a while. On the contrary, the skin on the neck was pinched and reddened.

"Hehe" Lin Xiaoyou smiled bitterly twice, curled up weakly beside the rockery with her hands on her knees, what did she do wrong? Since she was abandoned, why did she take her home? Separated from her senior brother, she saw her mother commit suicide in front of her eyes, and now she has become a mute who can't speak, and her life is like falling from the world to the ground.

wiped the wet softness mixed with tears and rain on her face, and comforted in her heart: "It's okay, now, she can't compromise and admit defeat, even if she can't speak, she will still be her mother and get justice for herself." ”

Just as he was thinking, a female voice shouted, "Miss is here." ”

Before he could see the person clearly, he felt that his body was being lifted, and he was so frightened that he couldn't scream with his mouth wide open, and then he was pushed to a maid next to him, and a cold voice floated over: "Take her down and wash and change her clothes." After Xiahou Yichen finished speaking, he evacuated from the rain with the rest of the people.

Even if you save her, there is no need to be so arrogant! Lin Xiaoyou was speechless and was helped by the maid to another big room. Through the screen, I could see that the bathtub inside emitted a thick steam, and it swirled around the room like a light veil cloud.

"Miss, let the slave maid serve you to bathe and change your clothes!" said the maid as she began to undress her.

Lin Xiaoyou waved his hand and motioned for himself to come.

Looking at Lin Xiaoyou, who was not allowed to help, the maid smiled, thinking that Lin Xiaoyou was shy and did not insist, and said: "The slave is called Xiangqing, just wait outside, if the young lady has other instructions, you can call me at any time!"

Lin Xiaoyou nodded in agreement.

The rose petals in the bathtub floated quietly on the surface of the water, exuding a refreshing fragrance, Lin Xiaoyou took a deep breath, took off his soaked clothes and soaked in the water.

People who experience pain and despair will always become stronger. Because after crying and pain, you must stand up bravely to prove your existence.

In the bedroom, Xiahou Yichen was dressed in a purple robe, sitting elegantly at the table, gorgeous and soft satin, more noble than before, more enchanting. A few servants stood aside respectfully.

He didn't send anyone to investigate Lin Xiaoyou's matter, but he just calmed down and thought about it carefully, rescued him from the mountain to meet him on the street, and the maid of the Lin Mansion said that she was the second lady who had just been taken home, and the truth was about to come out.

Although Yi Hongyuan and Lin Lanhai can't pose any threat for the time being, their ambitions are still not small. A marriage pulls together, and a graft is grafted. He was happy to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, the only surprise was Lin Xiaoyu, which of the ordinary women is not obedient, only she still has the courage to escape from marriage.

"Lord Wang, Miss is here. "The incense is reported first.

Everyone raised their eyes and saw Lin Xiaoyou walking in a light green long skirt slowly, and a light bow was also tied up with a green belt around her waist, showing a perfect figure, and the three thousand green silk were held high with a delicate carved wooden hairpin. His face was pale, his eyes were puffy, and he looked sickly and haggard.

Without the vigor and spirit of the past, Xiahou Yichen was a little worried and a little annoyed. If it weren't for Xiangqing running to tell others that she was missing, he really didn't know that this woman wanted to die so much.

Then he got up and said, "Pass on the imperial doctor." Then he walked up to Lin Xiaoyou again, leaned into her ear and whispered: "In the future, if you want to die, look at the place first, not anywhere you can die casually." ”

"Die? Who wants to die? Her revenge has not been avenged, how can she die lightly. Lin Xiaoyou laughed silently. Originally, it was very strange who rescued her, because a mansion like this was not something ordinary officials and businessmen could afford. However, from the moment he stepped into this room just now, the problem was solved, it was actually Xiahou Yichen, who had met before. It's no wonder that the shelf of speech is full of momentum, who calls people's identities and positions prominently placed there.

"This king is talking to you, are you dumb?" Lin Xiaoyou's smiling and silent expression made him annoyed, and he looked down and said in a condescending manner.

As soon as she heard that she was dumb, the smile on Lin Xiaoyou's face faded, and the unspeakable distress had made her very aggrieved.

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has a heart. Xiahou Yichen's love that changed too quickly was seen by Xiahou Yichen, so he shouldn't have been hit by him!

"Coming, coming," Xiangqing replied outside, bringing in an old man with a strict and kind face carrying a medicine box.

Looking at the old man who was about to kneel and salute, Xiahou Yichen waved his hand and said, "No courtesy, it's important to see a doctor first." ”

Xiangqing helped Lin Xiaoyou to sit on the bed and let the doctor diagnose and treat him. After a while, the imperial physician got up and said, "Please rest assured, the young lady's illness is fine" Before he finished speaking, Lin Xiao hurriedly grabbed the imperial doctor's hand and gestured to indicate that he could not speak.

The imperial doctor nodded and said, "Miss, don't worry, according to the old man, this may be because you have suffered some heavy blows before, so you are in a state of mind, nervous and depressed, and you can't speak." You just need to rest in peace, try to ease your mood, and after a while, you will be able to speak naturally. ”

"Hehe, is that so? That is, she is not dumb, she can still speak. The Imperial Doctor's words undoubtedly gave Lin Xiaoyu a reassuring pill and made her see a glimmer of hope.

"Mother, thank you, I will definitely live strong to avenge you. Lin Xiaoyu silently read in his heart. Then give Xiangqing a writing action, indicating that you want pen and ink paper.

Anyway, she still wanted to say thank you to the arrogant prince. Since she was a child in the mountains, her master did not teach her martial arts, but taught her to read and write all day long. I used to be annoyed and thought that the master was biased, but now it seems that it is not completely useless.

"Xiahou Yichen, thank you!" she has no concept of hierarchy, and directly calls her name regardless of identity. Juanxiu's neat font, Xiahou Yichen was stunned, he was in a high position, who was not in awe of him. Never before has anyone thanked them by name like now.

Although there was no reaction on his face, he was still inexplicably happy in his heart, and said deliberately: "No need to thank you, this king just doesn't like to owe favors." ”

"Favors?" Lin Xiaoyou was completely puzzled by his words, he owed himself favors, and he couldn't remember when this high-ranking prince owed him favors. Forget it, ask for yourself when she can speak.

"What are you thinking, Miss, I'll help you lie down and rest!"

I was so engrossed in thinking that the people in the house didn't know when they went out. Lying on the bed, Lin Xiaoyu, who had slept for so many days, could still sleep. Thinking over and over again: "Revenge, senior brother will go to you when I take revenge." ”
