It seems that the fragrant snow in the plum garden has just opened, giving birth to a bright color that contains romance, Lu Zhi is holding an empty medicine bowl in his hand, looking at her with slightly lowered eyes, her momentum is not inferior to him, and she is not afraid of broken bones. The look in his jade-like eyes moved, and the shadow of the nine-branch green lotus lamp jumped into fine ripples between the deep pools, but Lu Zhi did not see any waves on his face, and only opened his mouth with two words: "Not necessarily." ”

Mei Rui raised her eyebrows, and listened to him continue: "I have seen a lot of people who are burning jade, even if they die, they will drag other people's lives, at any cost, you are unknown, I don't believe you." ”

She knew that he didn't believe her, and she didn't want to explain anything, but she doubted her personality for no reason, Mei Rui felt very angry, and this anger pressed in her heart, and she couldn't help but tremble faintly all over. Finally, the trembling on her shoulders subsided, and when she raised her head again, it was already light: "My lord is right, but the slave is offended." ”

She glanced at the bed, and the prince pouted and didn't dare to say anything, but looked pitifully at the sugar cake in her hand, looking greedy. Mei Rui couldn't help but sigh in her heart, what had happened in the past two days had made her sort out some of the relationships thoroughly, Lu Zhi really took the prince to heart, and the Zhao family must have sent someone to secretly attack the prince more than once.

As for why the Zhao family wanted to attack the little prince, she still couldn't figure it out. Lu Zhi was a soldier in dealing with the prince, but she remembered it, she shrugged helplessly at the prince, and said to Lu Zhi: "The slave and maid retreated first." ”

She wanted to leave with a plate, and finally made a sugar cake again, she thought about simply taking it back for Huaizhu to eat, but after only a few steps, Lord Lu's unsentimental voice floated from behind like a soul bell: "Stop." ”

She turned around very kindly, lowered her eyebrows and asked, "What do you command?" ”

She stood there steadily, dressed in an azure collared palace dress, like a blue and white porcelain vase, with a unique charm in everything. Lu Zhi shouted Fu San'er, and Fu San'er, who was kneeling at the door, immediately stood up and ran over, and he said, "Pour a glass of water." ”

Fu San'er has followed Lu Zhi for many years, and no one knows the meaning of Lu Zhi more thoroughly than him, he hurriedly chirped, lifted the corner of his robe and went to the table to mix water in the cup.

Mei Rui looked at Fu San'er running before and after, and was feeling inexplicable, the glass of water was handed to her, she looked at Lu Zhi suspiciously, the man met her gaze, turned his head away, half of his face was sideways, and he was self-contained, and his jaw was like jade and the collar covered his neck obediently, and his throat was smooth, graceful and pale.

She looked a little distracted, Fu San'er saw that she didn't answer, afraid that she was still angry with Lu Zhen, so she lowered her voice and said: "Auntie, you drink some water, just such a big piece of sugar cake was swallowed by you in two bites, and the little ones are afraid that you will be stalked." ”

Mei Rui's ears turned red, and the piece of sugar cake was swallowed hard by her, and now it is indeed stuffy, but the corners of her mouth curled, and she said: "Thank you father-in-law for your kindness, I dare not drink this water." ”

Fu San'er was stunned for a moment, and saw that the smile on the corner of her mouth became deeper and deeper: "The heart of defense is indispensable, how can the slave know whether this water is poisonous or not?" She sneered at Lu Zhen, who was standing beside the bed, "Did you say yes, Lord Lu." ”

She really had the courage to splash the sky, Fu San'er was scared by her and broke out in a cold sweat, for fear that Lu Zhen's next sentence would drag her out to play the board, and the hall was quiet, and the crackling of lights and candles could be heard. Mei Rui looked at Lu Zhi without giving in, as if she wanted to see what kind of earth-shattering anger he was hiding under the breeziness.

Lu Zhi pursed his lips and did not speak, but the prince suddenly spoke, and the immature child's voice broke the awkward silence: "Lu Zhen, are you from Xigong 1?" ”

Lu Zhen's expression softened at this time, and he turned to the prince and nodded gently. The prince's eyes turned red again, he raised his hand and rubbed it, sobbing and said, "Lu Zhen, this palace misses my father." ”

The coffin of the first emperor is now parked in the West Palace, only waiting for the funeral after the funeral, Mei Rui saw this scene in her heart is quite uncomfortable, when she Aya died of illness, she gave the deed to her aunt's family, in exchange for the silver money for the coffin for Aye. After Aya entered the soil for peace, she had nowhere to go, and lived in her aunt's house for three years, suffering from cold eyes, until after the filial piety period, she rushed to Chang'an alone.

Lu Zhen's eyelids were half-drooping, covering the look in those eyes, he raised his hand to wipe away the tears on the prince's face, and said gently: "So for the sake of Your Majesty, the minister will not let His Highness suffer any harm." ”

Mei Rui felt that Lu Zhi was really not suitable for coaxing children, how could he say this to children, but the prince seemed to be used to Lu Zhen's way, nodded vigorously, and held back his tears: "This palace believes in you." ”

Then he said softly to Lu Zhi: "I like Rui Rui, she is a good person, don't talk about her." ”

The little prince's voice made Mei Rui's scalp tingle, she trembled, and it happened that Lu Zhi looked at her thoughtfully, and she stretched the corners of her mouth again, putting on a description of not being afraid of power, Lu Zhi turned around and asked the prince: "Your Highness likes her?" ”

The prince nodded vigorously and whispered: "Fang Cai didn't want to drink medicine in this palace, so she made the sugar cake in order to coax this palace to drink medicine." As he spoke, he licked the corners of his mouth, "The sugar cake she made is very delicious, Lu Zhen, do you want to eat it?" ”

Lu Zhi shook his head: "No need, Your Highness, the minister doesn't like to eat." Then he looked at Merry, "Bring it here." ”

If it weren't for the prince's expectation, Mei Rui would not have served the sugar cake again, but the little prince would have cried and looked at her with red eyes. Mei Rui was soft-hearted, so she didn't remember the villain, no longer bothered with the mean person standing by the bed, and walked over with the sugar cake, but Lu Zhi still asked Fu San'er to take the silver needle to test for the poison, so that the little prince could enter with confidence.

The little prince who got the sugar cake was very happy, and ate the plate of sugar cake completely, Fu San'er smiled beside him: "Your Highness, you finally have an appetite, you haven't eaten anything for two days, and the adults are so anxious that they can't do it, I knew that you love to eat sugar cakes, so the slave invited Aunt Mei Rui as soon as possible, so as not to save you from suffering for so long." ”

Mei Rui was surprised: "Your Highness hasn't eaten for two days?" ”

The prince was sucking his fingers and belched: "Where can I eat before this palace, and I didn't think about eating sugar cakes, but when I saw Rui Rui, I was hungry." ”

He asked for merit for Mei Rui, and said to Lu Zhi with a wink: "Lu Zhi, has Rui Rui made meritorious service?" ”

Mei Rui was shouted goosebumps by the prince, and pressed her hand on her arm to avoid a cold war, Lu Zhi glanced at her lightly, and made her back numb, he slowly withdrew his gaze and looked at the prince: "What His Highness says, it is what it is." After a pause, he added, "You will be the monarch of this world in the future, and no one can disobey what you say." ”

"Really?" The prince became excited, and he squeezed his fist, which had not yet grown up and looked a little immature, "Like you, you can cut off whoever you want, right?" ”

The corners of Lu Zhen's mouth hooked: "Cutting off your head is not child's play, you still need to think twice before you want to cut it, but," his voice suddenly added a coquettish color, like a beautiful woman holding a sharp dagger smeared with red lipstick, dangerous and charming, "You might as well tell Sù Chen, whose head do you want to cut off?" ”

The prince didn't even think about it, and blurted out: "Zhao." ”

"Oh?" Lu Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly, "Why?" ”

"She killed the mother of this palace."

Mei Rui was chilled when she listened, Lu Zhi spread out the secrets in the palace in front of her so straightforwardly, she didn't expect this old hatred between the Zhao family and the prince's biological mother, Lu Zhi's lips were arrogant and rampant, as if she was telling her that if she chose the Zhao family, it would undoubtedly be a dead end.

She has been pushed on this road, and can no longer protect herself in this treacherous deep palace, if she is helpless, such as duckweed, there is no place to bury her at the slightest overturn, she wants to find a way to survive in the turbulent water, and she can only cling to his reef.

Mei Rui stood there with a pale face, Lu Zhi moved his gaze back with a satisfied smile, raised his hand and touched the soft hair on the top of the prince's head, and said softly: "Your Highness, don't worry, these ministers will do it for Your Highness, you just need to become a generation of virtuous kings." ”

"Father asked the palace to listen to you, and whatever you say is what you say." The prince suddenly looked at Mei Rui and said, "Rui Rui, why is your face not very good?" Isn't it uncomfortable? ”

He really liked Mei Rui very much, because she was different from others, so he took her to heart, and his little face was a little anxious: "Is it that this palace has given you a sick breath, do you want to ask the imperial doctor to take a look for you?" ”

"The slave is fine, let His Highness worry," Mei Rui barely smiled, "Xu is the wind blowing on the way here, and my head hurts, this is an old problem, it is not in the way." ”

Lu Zhi said slowly: "Then since this is the case, let's go back and rest first, if the spirit is so bad, it is not good to serve His Highness." ”

The prince nodded beside him: "Yes, you go back quickly, there is still Fu San'er in this palace, not one of you." He was a little reluctant, "But after you get better, you have to continue to make sugar cakes for this palace." ”

"The slave obeys," she bowed her head to the two of them, "and the slave and maid withdrew. ”

The prince waved his hand: "Go ahead." ”

Merry turned and walked slowly out of the hall, at first slowly, then faster and faster, as if she were about to flee from some flood of beasts.

The prince looked at Mei Rui's departing figure, and asked Lu Zhi with some doubts: "Isn't Rui Rui uncomfortable, why are her legs and feet so neat?" ”

Lu Zhi smiled vaguely: "The disease is in the heart, not the pain of the body." ”

The crown prince let out a long sigh and pursed his mouth: "This palace doesn't understand." ”

*

When Huaizhu returned to the court, it was already dark, and now it was nearly the end of the year, it was dark early, the cold wind was blowing, and she was ice from head to toe.

Pushing open the door and walking in, the room was also black, and the charcoal basin was not lit, she estimated that Mei Rui should not have come back yet, so she closed the door with her back while breathing into her hand, and was lighting wax, and the warm light filled the whole room.

Huaizhu held the candlestick and turned around, and there was a female ghost with a cloak sitting on the couch, eerie, and suddenly scared her into a ghost, and before she could scream, the "female ghost" spoke, and her voice like spring rain moistened her heart when she heard it: "Huaizhu, it's me." ”

"Why are you silent?" Huaizhu was so frightened by her that her soul was gone, gasping and glaring at her, she put the candlestick on the table, sat down on the couch, and brushed away her face-covering hair, "What's the matter, this is, the first day before the emperor, why is it so wolf?" ”

Her thoughts had always been wild, and she thought in a bad direction, and she picked up Mei Rui's face with a nervous expression, and asked, "Rui Rui, what happened to them to you?" As he spoke, he burst into tears, "I know, how can there be such a good thing, I will bring you to be the emperor for no reason, those guys with human faces and beast hearts are simply inferior to beasts, you said, the time when the Lu Guards punished you, did he take a fancy to you and wanted you to eat with him, but you are not happy, which innocent girl is willing to give a eunuch a waste!" You didn't give him face and rejected him, so he wanted to take revenge on you, first unloaded your errand, and then found a reason to pull you to the front of the palace. ”

The more Huaizhu said, the more outrageous it became: "Isn't that piece of land in front of the emperor already under the world of his land guard?" They said that eunuchs also have seven emotions and six desires, and they are even more eccentric than the normal men next to them, and if they fall into their hands, it is more uncomfortable than death. It's okay now, you are such a living beauty wandering around under his nose, it is difficult to ensure that he does not have bad intentions, and it is not impossible to close the door and overlord to bow hard......"

Speaking of this, she hugged Mei Rui and cried: "My Rui Rui, it's really hard for you......

Mei Rui listened to her call, and her originally depressed mood was dissipated, pushed her away, and smacked her: "What are you talking nonsense?" What kind of food, what overlord is the bow? ”

Stretched out his finger and poked her in the middle of the head, angry and funny: "What are you pretending to be in your head all day?" ”

Huaizhu still had tears stained, pinched his sleeves to wipe his tears, and sighed: "What do you say, are you still my innocent Ruirui?" ”

Mei Rui was so angry with her that she laughed: "When did I say that I was not innocent?" ”

Huaizhu bit his cuffs, and asked again: "Then Lu Hujun doesn't have any bad intentions for you?" ”

Mei Rui glanced at her: "Who is Lu Hujun, how can he think about me?" You're thinking too highly of me. ”
