That's blood.

She was so shocked that her face turned white, and she hurriedly helped Du Ying up with hibiscus and Shanmei.

Yuan Zhao on the other side had a cold face and was still sitting, Du Ruo couldn't help but ask, "What did you say to my second sister?" ”

Yuan Zhao didn't speak, glanced at Du Ying, her eyes were half-open and half-closed, she looked extremely weak, shouldn't such a girl stay in the boudoir honestly? He stood up and brushed his sleeves away.

The attitude was very annoying, Du Ruo almost wanted to catch up and ask, Du Ying grabbed her, and said softly: "Ruoruo, don't sue Sister Sù about this matter, don't sue Sù anyone, I'm just itchy and uncomfortable." Afraid that Du Ruo would not listen, she begged, "I can't let them worry about this anymore." ”

The voice came softly, like a wisp of bleak wind, Yuan Zhao stopped slightly, as if he hesitated for a while, but still stepped forward.

Seeing that there were tears in her eyes, Du Ruo nodded and said, "I won't tell you first, but your condition doesn't seem to be improving, are you hiding anything from us?" She took out a handkerchief to wipe the blood from the corner of Du Ying's mouth, and looked at her again.

It's okay that it didn't splash.

Du Ying stood up straight and straightened her hair: "I'll tell you later, it's time to leave." She whispered to the two maids, "Don't say anything." ”

Seeing them walking slowly, and seeing Du Ying dragging her thin body, she thought of what happened in the West Cross Courtyard today, and she couldn't move for a while. He Xuan came up and said, "Why don't you leave?" ”

She sighed slowly and said softly, "Eldest sister, second sister is really bitter. ”

For so many years, she has seen it in her eyes, and I am afraid that this sentence is far from being able to express the hardships.

He Xuan said lightly: "There are many people who are suffering in this world, but no one can save them. ”

It sounded a little cold, she raised her head to look at him, and saw that his face was very calm, she suddenly thought of He Xuan's life experience, he had no father and no mother, no brothers and no sisters, and he was also extremely cold in this world, even if there was a big palace, it was like duckweed without roots.

But Du Rong and Du Ying have roots, but it also makes them miserable.

"It's all the second uncle's fault." She grabbed his sleeve, "You talked about Sanxue Street last time, does the second uncle have any other tricks?" ”

At the beginning, Chen Lu did not surrender, Zhao Jian wanted to kill the chicken and make an example of the monkey, and Chen Lu was executed, Chen Lu's wife and children were also arrested, but Chen Lu had a beautiful concubine who escaped and was raised by Du Yunyan on Sanxue Street. Later, Du Yunyan was discovered, and Du Yunyan had no choice but to push the beautiful concubine into the river.

He did anything to protect himself.

It is really unbearable to have such a father.

But what does this matter to her, a little girl like her still wants to threaten Du Yunyan? He Xuan put his hand on her hair bun and patted it: "Even if there is, I can't sue you." ”

"Why?" She said angrily, "If you sue me, I will be able to deal with the second uncle!" ”

"And what's in it for me?" He asked.

She froze.

It was a matter of the second room of the Du family, and he shouldn't have done it last time, although she gave him a sword spike, but it was really not worth such a favor. Now that she has the heart to deal with Du Yunyan, how can he help her? Du Ruo thought for a while, shook his sleeve and said, "What benefits do you want?" ”

She stared at him with her spring-water eyes, and his gaze fell on her face, and he could see her features clearly, and there was a feeling that suddenly rushed out, like a tide. But he knew that he would definitely scare her, although the feeling was still a little vague to him, but he knew what it was, but how could Du Ruo know?

She even showed her kindness to kiss him just now.

Naturally, he was very upset.

Retracting his gaze, he said, "You shouldn't worry about this kind of thing, but if it's really available, I may sue you one day." ”

He was still willing to help, Du Ruo smiled: "Thank you!" ”

She even put her cheek on his sleeve.

I don't know if it was slightly cool or warm, he walked forward, she still pulled his sleeve, raised her head and asked, "Why did you come here?" ”

"Just walk around."

She asked again: "Do you know that Yuan Zhao, what kind of person is he?" ”

The Yuan family is now quite convinced by Zhao, and Master Yuan is in a high position, as for Yuan Shao, he said: "He is a scholar and drafts an edict for the emperor." Today, you should see that he is not a character that your second sister can provoke. ”

"It's hard to say who provoked whom, he himself blocked the way first!" Du Ruo was not convinced.

He Xuan raised his eyebrows.

The two walked straight to the top of the mountain before she let go of her hand and reminded, "You remember what you promised me." ”

"What about the benefits?" "We don't seem to have discussed it yet." ”

Du Ruo didn't know how to reply to him again, bit his lip and said, "Isn't our friendship over the years enough, why do you have to ask for benefits?" ”

"All these years of friendship......," he muttered, and said with a sudden smile, "it's okay to owe it first." ”

A very faint smile rippled in his eyes, but there was a thrilling splendor, she didn't know why her face was a little hot, thinking that if he could smile more, if he appeared in Lishan today, it must be no less than Yuan Zuo, and many girls must surround him, but in this case, I am afraid it will not be him.

She nodded slightly and walked towards Du Ying.

Du Rong didn't notice it at all, and asked her with a smile, "Why did you come back together?" Third sister, did you also go to shelter from the wind? ”

"yes, it's a headache from the wind." Du Ruodao, "How are you playing chess?" ”

"Don't mention it, I'm not Miss Yuan's opponent at all." Du Rong put down the chess pieces in her hand and shook her head again and again, "Only Yingying can compete with her, this is like a martial arts master, I can't even catch three moves." ”

Everyone laughed.

Du Ying still sat down to play chess with Yuan Xiuchu.

Du Ruo looked at it for a while, and found that Du Rong was gone, she looked up and looked around, and saw that on the other side of the mountain, she and Zhang Fengyi were standing together, Zhang Fengyi took her hand and pointed to the distance for her to see something, she smiled brightly. The other three children of the Zhang family were waiting not far away, and they were also smiling, as if they liked this sister-in-law very much.

One day, it would be good for Du Rong to marry into the Zhang family, she thought to herself, when she got married, she wouldn't have to see Du Yunyan every day.

In fact, things are still getting better one by one, maybe Du Ying will meet a better doctor in the future, she sat cross-legged, thinking nonsense.

In the end, Du Rong reminded them that they were leaving.

They all stood up, packed up their clothes, and Miss Zhang, who had just delivered the pastries, came over and said, "I see that you like to play chess very much, we have a chess game written by Zhang Zhi at home, and we will learn from each other another day?" ”

Du Rong glanced at her, and saw that she was quite beautiful and tall, except for the active behavior, it was not annoying, she smiled: "This is naturally okay." ”

Miss Zhang said: "Then it's decided." He looked at Du Ruo again, "Third girl, how are my pastries?" If you like it, I'll send some next time. ”

Du Ruo actually didn't eat it, how to evaluate it.

Du Ying smiled and said: "We also brought a lot of pastries today, which is really full, but your chefs are very skillful, and the pastries are pleasing to the eye." ”

Miss Zhang said happily: "If you like it, it's fine." ”

Seeing her leave, Fang Suhua whispered to Du Ruo: "This girl Zhang is very lively, but I don't know if Brother He likes this kind of temperament." ”

Where did Du Ruo know, as soon as she asked He Xuan just now, she was so frightened by his eyes that she didn't dare to ask again, which showed that he didn't like this kind of topic, so she really didn't know anything about this matter.

She shook her head, "I don't know. ”

"You know him so well that you don't know it?" Fang Suhua was surprised, "You were like brothers and sisters when you were young. ”

"But he didn't say that." Du Ruo said, "Even if it is a real brother and sister, it may not know, just like my eldest brother, how do I know what kind of girl he likes, he has never mentioned it." ”

Fang Suhua thought about it.

Walking to the foot of the mountain, Yuan Xiuchu said goodbye to them, and went to find her two brothers, Du Ying stood in front of the carriage and saw Yuan Zhao wearing a turquoise autumn robe, very elegant, but such a person spoke without mercy.

She clutched her chest, took a few breaths, and stepped into the carriage.

Yuan Zhao's eyes are only now cast, he thinks of how sharp she was playing chess just now, every step is hidden mysteries, people can't guess, where is it like an ordinary little girl, but her sister doesn't know people, and she frequently praises in front of him, and even says that she has a little shadow of his dead wife.

Maybe there are some looks and figures, but the scheming is too different.

His eyes narrowed.

When the girls got into the carriage one after another, Du Ling instructed the coachman to drive back.

At that time, it was already Shen Shi, the sun was rising in the sky, exuding a brighter light than just now, and it was a little stuffy in the carriage, Du Ruo opened the window and saw Du Ling riding a horse next to her, she asked, "Did you see Brother Xuan just now?" ”

Du Ling said: "I left beforehand, it seems that a letter was sent from somewhere." ”

He was drinking with Song Cheng and invited He Xuan, but Yuan Zhen suddenly came over, He Xuan left the table, speaking of which, this Yuan Zhen is also a divine dragon who sees the beginning but does not see the end, unlike Yuan Feng who stays by He Xuan's side every day, Yuan Zhen is always sneaky and doesn't know what he is doing in the day, or He Xuan becomes the prince, and Yuan Zhen becomes a secret guard?

Du Ling really didn't understand.

Du Ruo didn't ask again, she took out the candy in her sleeve and gave it to Du Ling to eat.

Du Ling shouted after taking a bite: "What kind of sugar, it almost sticks all the teeth together, is it made by our cook?" This cook can't ask for any more. ”

"It was given by a girl Zhang, I'm just curious if it's delicious." She winked at him.

"You ......" Du Ling was so angry that he didn't know what to say.

There was a light laugh behind him, and Song Cheng rode over and said, "That's called milk lactose, it's already very sticky teeth." He stretched out his hand to Du Ruo, "Is there anything else?" ”

Du Ruo glanced at him and gave him one.

He was taken aback and shook his head: "It's not very good, what kind of girl Zhang, you don't want to make friends with her." ”

Because sugar is not good, don't you make friends, Du Ruo sneered and laughed.

When the carriage reached the city, and it seemed that they were about to reach home, everyone was arranging their crumpled skirts, and in the midst of all the cries of frustration, they suddenly heard a terrible cry.

I don't know whether it was a man or a woman, and they were very pitiful, and the girls looked at each other, not knowing what was happening in the bazaar, and suddenly the carriage shook, and the cry was near, and it was in their ears. Du Ruo poked his head out and saw a child about ten years old falling in front of the car, grabbing the wooden handle with one hand, and next to him, a man dressed like a palace guard pulled his hand hard.

His fingers were bleeding immediately.

Seeing Du Ruo's gaze, he showed a pleading expression and cried: "Help me, I don't want to, don't go to the palace, be a little yellow door...... Help me......"

The Little Yellow Gate is dedicated to serving the emperor and empress.

Although Du Ruo is not very old, she still knows this kind of thing, because when she was in Jinling, she had seen the Yellow Gate, they were all very white-skinned, and when they spoke, they were different from ordinary men.

The child cried pitifully, at a young age, there was a desperate light in his eyes, Du Ruo hurriedly said to Du Ling: "Brother, look at what's going on." ”

The child kept blocking their car, and Du Ling asked the ins and outs.

The guards naturally knew about the Du family, and hurriedly said: "Back to Young Master Du, the palace will use the Yellow Gate, and it is being recruited, this family is willing to sell the child, who would have thought that the child would not be." He was also angry, and pulled hard again, "I'm disturbing you walking." ”

When he saw that the boy would not let go, he stretched out his foot and kicked him.

The child was in pain, and finally let go of his hand.

Du Ruocai knew that it was sold, it was commonplace, and many of the subordinates in their family came from here, but the situation encountered today is still different, compared to slaves and maids, the Yellow Gate will not be able to marry a wife and have children for the rest of his life.

She glanced at him, and he sat pitifully on the ground, tears streaming down his face.

She hesitated for a moment and asked, "How much did they sell you for, can I buy it?" After searching in my purse for a while, I found two gold leaves and handed them over.

"Twenty taels of silver, but," the guard saw that the gold leaf was very valuable, and he was hesitant, "It has been sold to the palace, I'm afraid it's ......"

He can't be the master.

When the child heard that, he was full of hope, but he suddenly became depressed, but he was still staring at Du Ruo, and his dark eyes were like obsidian.

Du Ruo thought to herself, being an emperor is really evil, but now that she is only in Chang'an, she wants a good child to be a yellow gate, she really can't understand it, she shook the gold leaf: "This may be worth thirty taels of silver!" ”

Before the guards could answer, Song Cheng frowned and said, "The palace needs the Yellow Gate, it's not him, there are others." ”

It sounded so light, Du Ruo also frowned and said: "You said it well, but if you don't run into it, forget it, just run into it...... You don't want to think about how much it hurts to be a yellow door. ”

Hurt? Song Cheng didn't think about it so much at first, but when she said it, he suddenly felt that he was really uncomfortable somewhere. He coughed lightly: "Come on, let this kid put me here, you turn around and tell the emperor, and say I want it." ”

The son of Princess Fuqing spoke, and the guard didn't dare to object, took the gold leaf from Du Ruo's hand, and left.

Song Cheng glanced at the child, he was quite delicate, and his legs seemed to be quite strong, he said: "It's a good seedling who kicks the bow, go, follow me to the princess's mansion." ”

Du Ruo was inexplicable: "My gold leaf...... He's supposed to be my man. ”

Du Rong laughed in the car and said to Du Ying: "She can't figure out this account, but she has also done good deeds." ”

She opened her lips slightly, her bright eyes were in the sun, bright like a clear spring, the child looked at her, and wanted to follow her, so she hurriedly walked towards her, and was grabbed by Song Cheng by the collar: "Where are you going?" If I hadn't spoken, you thought she would have bought it? ”

He groped in his sleeves, only to find that the broken silver had been used up, and it was all large silver tickets, so he took off the jade pendant on his waist and threw it to Du Ruo from the car window: "Press it on you first, and return your silver next time." ”

He carried the boy away.

Du Ruo held this piece of warm, mutton fat jade jade pendant, and felt very bad, obviously this child should be considered hers, she looks very smart and brave, why is she going to become a little girl who accompanies Song Cheng to kick the ju?
