The last time she left the palace was with Lu Zhen, it seemed to be this carriage, and when she lifted the curtain, the white-like person sat in it with her eyes closed, she gritted her teeth, and suddenly felt that the corners of her eyes were a little sour, Fu San'er urged behind her: "Auntie? ”

Mei Rui sat in, the hub pressed the palace bricks and slowly went out, she sat in the car, watching the curtain blown up and down by the wind, I didn't know what it was like, I just felt that the road was too long, too short.

When Fu San'er called her outside, she came back to her senses, got out of the carriage and looked in front of the Protector's Mansion, the pair of Rui beasts were still fiercely guarding the peace of the house, and there were two red gauze lamps hanging in front of the door, Mei Rui remembered that the last time she came here, it was also such a pair of yarn lanterns.

followed into the gate of the house, the previous time in the night vision is not clear, can not see the scenery of this garden clearly, plus the winter has not passed, only feel that the atmosphere is broad, but it is very gloomy. Now the spring is coming, the grass and trees are lush, and when you go along the corridor to the inside, you can see the peony in the courtyard blooming warmly, a thousand pieces of red ying, a hundred branches of golden stamen, swaggering and scorching in the spring breeze.

But no matter how good the □□ is, she has no intention of appreciating it, not only □□ is permeated in the Protector's Mansion, but also has a strong smell of medicine, she can smell it from afar, and she asked Fu San'er all the way along: "How is he doing with the Protector?" ”

Fu San'er shrugged his shoulders: "What are the others like, and what are the guards like?" He was a little unsure, afraid that Mei Rui would be timid when she saw the protectors, so she hurriedly set her up, "You won't dislike the protectors so much, will you?" ”

She thought about what she looked like when she had smallpox, but fortunately she didn't even have a mirror at that time, and she couldn't see what was going on on her face, even if it was a puddle. But in the crowded temple, she could see the faces of others, but the most terrible thing on those faces was not scars, but despair.

Including her mother, too, she lay straight on the straw mat, the fever made her delirious, the water was dirty, Mei Rui found a number of wooden barrels to put under the eaves, and when it rained, she took the water and stored it in a cool place, which was used to compress her forehead or drink.

Her aunt kept muttering her father's name - Jingchen. The man who has not been traced since she was born, heard that he was in Chang'an, so far away, she didn't know how to look for him, and told him that his aunt missed him very much.

The City God's Temple finally became a Shura field, every day people were escorted in, and every day people were carried in, most people were more like relief when they died, after all, they were sick and tortured, it was better to live than to die, even her aunt.

Those who died due to the epidemic were to be dragged out and burned, and the Ming Mansion in the county was an old friend of A-Niang, and Tete handed over her A-Niang's ashes to her alone, and she was merciful by God at that time, and escaped from the epidemic.

The thought of wrapping her little arm full of scabies around the urn, she probably can't remember it now, the corner of Mei Rui's mouth tugged, and she said to Fu San'er: "In the eyes of Xiao Fu's father-in-law, am I such a person?" ”

Fu San'er heard her displeasure and hurriedly apologized: "Look at the villain's mouth, you should be beaten!" How could you be such a person? ”

Mei Rui smiled, and the matter was also revealed, Lu Zhen's house was in front, and there were a lot of people crowded in and out. The little emperor valued Lu Zhi and sent several imperial doctors to see him one after another, but smallpox was a disease that could only be cured by letting the pox come out.

Fu San'er shouted in a bright voice: "Let go!" So he invited Mei Rui in, Lu Zhi was lying in the bed, there was no one standing on the edge of the bed, and those people who came in and out covered their faces and wrapped tightly. Mei Rui was about to walk over, while listening to someone shouting in her ear, "Who is this?" How to get in randomly! Get out! ”

Looking at the past, he was still a man with a covered face, and he seemed to be a royal doctor looking at his clothes, Mei Rui stopped walking forward and bowed to him: "Dare to ask the adult's name?" ”

A woman appeared in a eunuch's mansion, no matter how you look at it, it is an ambiguous relationship, and the matter between Mei Rui and Lu Zhi has been rumored in the palace before, and the Tai Hospital will inevitably hear about it. Food is not a big deal, the man looked at Mei Rui's eyes with some disdain, dusted off his robe and said disdainfully: "Does it have anything to do with you?" ”

is a young and vigorous imperial doctor, and he does not want to be in the same stream as the so-called "traitors".

Mei Rui chuckled, still in a gentle tone: "This adult who has nothing to do with me, I just want to tell you that your strap is loose." ”

The man hurriedly looked down, and as she said, he hurriedly went to tie it. Fu San'er burst out laughing, Mei Rui also smiled and turned around and continued to walk towards the bed, the imperial doctor was annoyed and angry: "You just went over like this, don't you want to die?" ”

"Oh?" She glanced back at him and smiled lightly, "Although there are tens of thousands of people, I will go there." ”

Then sat down on the side of the bed in the stunned eyes of the imperial doctor, and the voice of the imperial doctor muttering crazy was in her ears, she lowered her eyes to look at Lu Zhen, he didn't know when he woke up, he met her gaze, and his tone was slightly reproachful: "What are you doing?" ”

He was covered with a veil on his face, blocking the pox, and he could only faintly see some marks, looking at the person who lived so delicately on weekdays to become like this, Mei Rui's nose was sour, and she complained: "Why can't I come?" ”

Lu Zhi sighed: "I said let the bachelor stay in the palace, smallpox is not a trick to laugh, why can't the bachelor listen to me?" ”

She grabbed his exposed hands, which were also full of sores, and she was a little distressed, and her eyes were red: "The guards checked everything about me, but they didn't know that I had smallpox?" I know it's not a joke, that's why I'm here, so that the Protector can remember his words, and don't think about letting go and ruining the marriage contract, but I'm going to hell with my tongue! ”

Lu Zhi was stunned: "The bachelor has smallpox?" He frowned, he only knew that she lost her mother at a young age, and then her father, and her aunt's family seemed to treat her very kindly, because she came to Chang'an with this letter, and lived in this huge imperial city, and spent a long time of seven years, and he did not know how much she suffered in the years he did not know.

He felt sorry for her, and the bitterness filled his heart, as if he had a piece of coptis in his mouth, and when he saw her staring at his hand, he pulled it back and said to her, "Don't look at it." ”

At this time, Lu Zhi remembered that his current situation was beyond recognition, and he was suddenly a little frightened, afraid that she would think about him when she saw him, so he gritted his teeth: "Bachelor, go back to the palace first, I'll ...... It's not a big deal. ”

The scabies on his hands were already red, swollen and pus, how could he still tell her that it was no big deal, Mei Rui looked at him with some panic in her eyes, and she couldn't help laughing: "Are the guards afraid that I will abandon the chaos from the beginning?" ”

Lu Zhi is good at this point, he is used to seeing strong winds and waves, and he is not necessarily flustered when his mind is exposed, but he discusses with her: "This time I am seriously ill, and it is one thing to be not good, even if it is good, it should be broken, the bachelor came just in time, and I also want to explain it to the bachelor." ”

Mei Rui didn't let him continue, just reached out to touch his forehead, the tulle only covered the lower half of his face, and some acne could be seen where it was exposed, she touched his forehead while touching herself, muttering: "It doesn't look like there's a sign of fever, it's okay." ”

"Is the maester listening to me?" Lu Zhi frowned, Mei Rui withdrew her hand, and said with a smile: "Listen, but the protector doesn't have to worry so much, if the protector can't get better, I will find someone to marry at will, the left and right are not the protectors, it's the same with anyone, if the protectors are good but the phase is broken, I won't dislike the protectors, the lights are turned off at night, look who is not a swarthy group, who cares if the upper part is broken or not?" ”

Lu Zhi was choked by her words, and his weak body coughed in his sick body, Mei Rui stepped forward to help him up to ease him, and belched in his mouth: "Don't be too excited about the protectors, this is what I should do, since I have a marriage contract with the protectors, I have to be responsible for the protectors." "Blinked mischievously," said the Protector, yes and no? ”

She is too vivid, like the most splendid spring light outside the window, he lives in a dark and narrow corner, he only dares to peep secretly, but he never thought that he would possess her, Lu Zhi let out a long sigh: "I am very fortunate to be young." ”

"Shao Jin, is this the word for the Protector?" The people in the house had already been kicked out by Fu San'er, she was a little unscrupulous, Lu Zhi felt a little indulged, nodded, and went with her: "Yes, does the bachelor have small print?" ”

She raised her lips and smiled: "Yes, it's called Duoshu." ”

After finishing speaking, he laughed eatingly, Lu Zhi didn't understand at first, but he believed it, and when he saw her laughing, he reacted, and glanced at her funny: "Less cautious and more sparse, it is really a match made in heaven, and even the words match it like this." ”

"I was originally going to play tricks on the Protectors, but why did the Protectors make fun of me?" She twisted her body and didn't follow, she had a different style, "Different guards are making trouble, my little words are called the same." ”

As before, as before, he silently pronounced the name a few times, feeling that the tip of his tongue was full of sweetness, delicate and moving, he asked her with a smile: "What a good name, the same at first sight?" ”

Mei Rui also smiled: "Yes, it's the same at first sight." ”

She suddenly remembered that on a spring day in the south of the Yangtze River, Daddy was drunk and sat in the small courtyard holding Auntie's ashes, the urn was already buried by her, and Daddy didn't know what kind of nerve she had committed after she came back, so she went to dig it out by herself, she desperately blocked in front of Auntie's grave, but was pushed away by Daddy.

The spring rain is as expensive as oil, the rain fell on her, she watched Daddy kneeling in the mud, holding Auntie's ashes and crying bitterly, although she was young, she felt full of sadness, and she shivered all over her body.

At that time, she came back from fetching water from outside, and heard Daddy hanging his head and muttering: "That little boy of the Lu family, like pine and jade, it's just a pity......"

What a pity?

She looked at the person in front of her and thought to herself, love is a word, maybe there is nothing to pity.
