Mei Rui's expression was extremely pale, I don't know when the little emperor has been standing there, and the innocent face of Su Rili is also cloudy at the moment, as if it can rain a terrifying rain at any time, seeing that she doesn't answer, the little emperor shouted again: "I ask you, what are you doing here?" ”

Long Yan was furious, Mei Rui knelt on the ground with her knees bent, she buried her head, and every word was said very clearly, for fear that the little emperor would make a mistake: "Zhao Niangniang is not delirious, her words and deeds are not countable, please don't listen to it!" ”

It sounded unconvincing, Mei Rui lay on the ground, her vest was sweating, the little emperor was silent, she didn't dare to speak again, and now no matter what she said, she seemed to want to cover up. Zhao is inviting you into the urn, she didn't pay attention and fell into the trick, just now she still thinks Zhao is pathetic, those past events are nothing to her, even if what Zhao said is true, she doesn't care very much.

But she was wrong, those words were not for her, the person Zhao really wanted to sue was to find Mei Rui and mistakenly thought that she had accidentally stumbled into the little emperor who had heard secretly.

He was already suspicious of Lu Zhen, and hearing such a thing again was tantamount to a thunderbolt in the clear sky, Mei Rui didn't dare to speculate about the little emperor's current thoughts, so he could only kneel, and after a long time, his knees were already faintly painful.

The sobbing sound of the Zhao family in the palace had stopped, and the cool breeze blew through the floating dust on the lotus-patterned bricks, and the little emperor finally opened his mouth: "I know." ”

Mei Rui raised her head suddenly, the gloom on the little emperor's face receded, and he curled the corners of his lips and smiled at Mei Rui: "I'm sorry, Ruirui, I'm angry with you." ”

He took two steps forward and stretched out his hand to Mei Rui, "Get up, Rui Rui, go back with me, there are weird people here, I don't like it." ”

Mei Rui didn't dare to take that hand, so she stood up from the ground on her own, hung her head, and folded her hands in front of her: "The slave obeys." ”

There will be a layer of estrangement, Mei Rui's eyebrows are hidden in the dark candle flame, and she is frightened to see Huaizhu, she is like this all night, she doesn't say anything, she just blindly stares at the bean-sized candle, how can it be good to break her eyes. She frowned and asked cautiously, "Rui Rui, what's wrong with you, is it okay to sue me?" ”

Mei Rui didn't answer, stunned, as if her soul had been withdrawn, Huaizhu gritted her teeth and snatched away the candlestick, and suddenly it was pitch black, Huaizhu held back her tears and choked up: "If you still remember what you said to me when I was bullied, then you will definitely not ignore me." You said at that time, "If I want to repay you, I can tell you everything in my heart from now on, and treat each other with sincerity and heart-to-heart, but since then," her voice sounded very sad, "and you have many things in your heart, and you don't want to tell me anything?" ”

The silence in the dark night was extremely terrifying, the moonlight fell through the window, the flower stands by the window were covered with white shadows, the sobs of Huaizhu gradually became smaller, and the suppressed heartache was even more distressing, and when she almost wanted to take the door away, Mei Rui suddenly sighed.

With a long sigh, like a rescue, even though it was dark all around, Mei Rui clearly found the location of Huaizhu, she got close to Huaizhu, hugged her in her arms, and then, there was a soft sigh.

"Why do you think that," her voice was still as gentle as ever, "I just don't want you to add to your troubles, who would have thought that you would be cranky, this is my fault, it should be punished, Huaizhu wants to punish me, I admit it." ”

Huaizhu felt even more aggrieved, she didn't even bother to raise her hand, she let Mei Rui hold her, there was no response at all, her voice was full of grievances, "Whoever is cranky, who is going to punish you, I obviously don't want to pay attention to you anymore." ”

"Hello," Mei Rui knew that Huaizhu was really angry, and continued to coax with kind words, "How can you ignore me, if you ignore me, then I have nothing to love in this world, or ......"

Before she could say the next sentence, Huaizhu suddenly raised her hand to cover her mouth, and said angrily: "I don't allow you to talk nonsense!" There was a complaint in his voice, "Really, how can these words be said nonsense? ”

Huaizhu always believed this, she was afraid that all her words would be poked, Mei Rui saw that she was not awkward, smiled and leaned over against her forehead, and whispered: "Okay, I won't talk nonsense, don't be angry." ”

"I'm not angry," Huaizhu said in a thick nasal voice, "I'm worried about you." ”

In this huge palace city, some people were worried that she was always fine, and Mei Rui's words about to speak were intercepted by the movement at the window, and Huaizhu reacted faster than her, and asked in a loud voice: "Who?" ”

"It's me." Fu San'er's voice came in from the window, "Miss Huaizhu, isn't Aunt Mei Rui here?" ”

Huaizhu pursed her lips, and Mei Rui paused for a moment before replying, "I'm here, what's the matter?" ”

Fu San'er said: "Auntie, the protector said that if you haven't slept yet, he wants to see you." ”

Mei Rui pondered for a moment, Fu San'er didn't seem to be in a hurry, just waiting for her to ponder, she looked at Huaizhu, and saw that the corners of Huaizhu's mouth were pressed down almost imperceptibly, and finally sighed helplessly, "You go, Rui Rui." ”

There was a bit of reluctance in the words, and Mei Rui smiled: "What is this?" ”

Huaizhu sighed, "Rui Rui is older, she doesn't say anything to me, I can only let her go to the person who can let her speak her heart." As he spoke, he held his forehead and covered his heart, "Go, go, I understand." ”

She can make this description, but it is no different from usual, Mei Rui put her mind at ease, and said to her softly: "Then I'll go." ”

Saying that, she went out, Fu San'er was waiting for her outside with her sleeves down, and it was not much surprise to see her come out, and she greeted her according to etiquette: "Auntie, please come with the slave." ”

Lu Zhi was waiting for her on Penglai Island, as usual, it was a flat boat, carrying her away with the waves, Fu San'er shook the oar and suddenly said: "Last winter, my aunt also took a boat to Penglai." ”

Mei Rui stood at the head of the bed with her hands in her sleeves and replied with a cold expression, "Well, yes." ”

Fu San'er was bored with himself, so he stopped talking, the wind on the liquid pool was very cold, poured in from the neckline, and blew his back cold, in addition to the plum forest that he bumped into Lu Zhi at the beginning, there was also an osmanthus forest, Sanqiu Guizi was fragrant, Mei Rui was looking for incense, and he saw the person who was independent in the sea of incense.

Mei Rui suddenly had mixed feelings, and she didn't know how she was going to face him and talk to him. If Empress Dowager Zhao's purpose was to provoke her and Lu Zhen, then it could be regarded as a small success, at least she was a little hesitant now.

A person as deep as the city, since Emperor Huai has hidden ghosts and thoughts about him, if he is blindfolded in the drum and doesn't know, Mei Rui will never believe it, but the more he thinks about it, the more terrifying it becomes, his teeth are embedded in his lower lip, and he bites out a white mark, and suddenly the person has already brushed his sleeves and is frowning at her: "What do you think, you have to think like this." ”

My heart turned a hundred times, but the exit was still a voice, "It's nothing." ”

She looked around curiously and asked, "Why are the guards here, coming all the way over, and they don't feel tired of their legs and feet." ”

Lu Zhi looked at her with a smile, "You wait in front of Your Majesty all day long, and you can't walk too much if you want to come, it's better to be farther away, you can practice your legs and feet, so as not to get old and decay first, and you will cry out for pain when you take a step or two back, let alone travel through the mountains and rivers." ”

She immediately furrowed her eyebrows, "The Protector said that who is not old and decrepit, I am only a double ten, but the Protector ......" Suddenly stunned again, and asked incredulously, "What did the Protector say?" ”

The flowers on his branches were shy, the corners of his mouth were hooked, and he was gentle and gentle, "Huh? ”

Traveling through the mountains and rivers, how could he say this, Mei Rui asked worriedly, Lu Zhi said, "When the world is stable and the country and the people are safe, I will also be able to loosen the burden on my shoulders, and let His Majesty allow me to take a period of time off, and I will accompany you to read the infinite scenery of the world, isn't it?" There seemed to be anticipation in his eyes, "Could it be that you don't want to?" ”

She was very happy, no matter how many worries she had before, the word power, how many people said that she could let go of it throughout the ages. Mei Rui threw herself into his arms and muttered, "How could I not want to, I know the thoughts of the protectors, so I will put the words here first, just wait for them to be realized in the next day." ”

It's easy to say, I don't know when the so-called peaceful and prosperous era will come, it's just an expectation, so as not to teach the time in this palace to be too long and far away. Mei Rui understands everything, and she doesn't want to tell it, Lu Zhi made her this promise today, but it was very abnormal, she grabbed his shirt tightly, and asked, "Is there anything you want to tell me about the guard?" ”

I hope he didn't know about her going to the cold palace, Lu Zhi hesitated for a moment before replying, "I may have to leave for a while." ”

She was startled, "Where are you going?" ”

"The war in the northwest is tight, Xiao Jingzhong was captured by Jiedu, and the northwest army retreated to the east of the Green Ridge, if you don't send troops, I'm afraid that the area under the jurisdiction of the Anxi Protectorate will be lost," Lu Zhi frowned, "Judging from the rumors in the court, I need to accompany me to supervise the army." ”

He has always been in charge of the court, and it is not the turn of the Northern Ya Forbidden Army to send troops, how can someone ask for his life, Mei Rui can't figure out the joints, Lu Zhi shook his head and said: "It's just a matter of control, it's okay, if the northwest can't be pacified, what kind of peace and prosperity can be talked about, but it's been a long time, I don't know when I can return to Beijing, I'm worried about you." ”

"The protector doesn't have to worry about me," she has always known the general situation, and the love of children is long and heartfelt, but after all, she has to give in to something, she doesn't want to be a shackle, and smiled at him, "I'm very safe in Beijing, and the protector just needs to take care of himself." ”

Although he knew that he didn't have to go into battle to kill the enemy, in the final analysis, he was still afraid that the war would be ruthless, and he would teach his family to be separated forever. She couldn't help frowning, and her frowning look made him sigh: "As usual, am I always worrying you?" ”

Merry nodded, then shook her head again, "I'm lucky to have someone who worries me so much. ”

The night was so late that Lu Zhi went back to the shore on the other side with her, and asked Fu San'er to send her back, and she asked him, "What about the guards?" ”

Lu Zhi said softly: "There are still some excerpts that I haven't read, I'll take a look at them again, and I'll rest in the palace today." ”

She hummed in a low voice, said goodbye to him, walked twenty steps and turned back, and found that he was still standing in place, the autumn moon was very bright and pure, and his shadow was long, lonely, but teaching people to be reluctant and lonely.

The little emperor seemed to really talk about that matter and let it go, and treated Mei Rui on his face as before, but he began to ask about political affairs intentionally or unintentionally, he did it very appropriately, like a lively and clever and curious child in front of Lu Zhi, and it would not arouse the alarm of others at all, Mei Rui mixed tea for the two of them next to him, and listened to the little emperor ask Lu Zhi: "Is the situation in the northwest strict?" ”

Lu Zhi lowered his eyes and said: "It's not heavy, Xiao Jingzhongyuan is a protégé of Zhao Taifu, and he has been pampered in Beijing for so many years, and the northwest is naturally not as good as Chang'an. ”

"Igo Seven Cities, how?" The little emperor paced to the map, tilted his neck to look, and sighed twice, "Sure enough, it's a lion who opened his mouth, just a Xiao Jingzhong, and if he was captured, he was captured, why should I change it, if Lu Zhi is captured, I may consider changing it." He smiled and said to Mei Rui, "You said yes, Rui Rui? ”
