Chapter 28: The Storm
The people of the palace were panicked, Mei Rui shook her steps and walked on the palace road, Fu San'er and Huaizhu followed behind her, running out of breath, there was really no way, and shouted to her in a bright voice: "Auntie, you are going like this, there is no token or anything, are you ready to break out of Anfumen?" ”
Only then did she stop, her upper lip was tightly pursed next to her lower lip, and Fu San'er gasped: "God, you finally stopped...... Wait, where are you going? ”
Fu San'er watched Mei Rui turn around and go west, and hurriedly chased after her, he shouted to her, so he could only pull Huaizhu's sleeve on the side, Huaizhu's face was unpredictable, and he was pulled hard by Fu San'er, so he asked her in a loud voice: "Rui Rui, what are you going to do?" ”
Or Huaizhu's words should be useful, Mei Rui's steps slowed down, and she glanced back at Huaizhu: "Go and find Your Majesty to get a pass token." ”
"You're crazy!" Huaizhu gasped, and grabbed her with an arrow step, "For the sake of Lu Zhen, are you like this?" Have you forgotten everything you said to me before? ”
She pulled Mei Rui and was about to go back, gritting her teeth: "You go back with me and stay well, don't think about going to the Protector's Mansion." ”
"Huaizhu!" Mei Rui broke away from Huaizhu's hand and took two steps back, "I am a person who has had smallpox, and the evil disease can no longer help me, and he has a deeper connection with me, so I should go to see him if it is reasonable for me to do so." ”
Huaizhu twisted his eyebrows: "What kind of origin, why have you never told me?" ”
"Now is not the time to say this," Merry said, squeezing her hand and lowering her eyes, "I have left something with him, and I must go and see him." But you are very dangerous, and Father-in-law Xiaofu," she turned her head to look at Fu San'er, and bowed to him, "Huaizhu taught Father-in-law Xiaofu to keep her safe." ”
Fu San'er was shocked, and hurriedly said: "I can't help it, I can't help it, you give such a gift to the villain, isn't it tormenting the villain?" ”
Before he finished speaking, Mei Rui had already walked far away, Huaizhu was about to catch up with her wrong teeth, but she was pulled by Fu San'er, she turned around and glared at him: "What are you pulling me for?" Let go! ”
"Just now I was trying to persuade Aunt Mei Rui, and now I want to persuade Miss Huaizhu," Fu San'er said to Huaizhu after tidying up her slightly messy clothes due to Fang Cai's sprinting, "Aunt Mei Rui's temperament Miss Zhu is afraid that she knows best, and once she makes up her mind, she can't tolerate others to put her beak." You are desperate to stop her like this, in fact, you are making her go against her heart, it is better to let her aunt do it, she knows what she is doing. ”
Huaizhu calmed down, and glanced at Fu San'er suspiciously: "But didn't you just glance at me and desperately want to stop her?" ”
Fu San'er snorted: "Fang is the Fangcai, now is the present." ”
He didn't know that Mei Rui had already had smallpox, and people who had pox could no longer contract the disease, so it was good for her to go, so that the sick protectors could have some comfort. Thinking that her own protector was also sick, Fu San'er was worried again, and pulled Huaizhu's sleeve and pulled her back: "Miss Huaizhu is fine, the escort and Aunt Mei Rui have confessed, let me take care of you, but I really don't feel at ease with the guard, I still have to go back to the protector's mansion, I'll send you back and leave, can you rest in the house?" Don't let the two old men worry about it. ”
Huaizhu snorted in his nostrils: "Is it so uneasy for me to look at it?" Fu San'er answered honestly, so angry that she turned her face, "Okay, I know to take care of myself, you can go." ”
Fu San'er belched, and was about to turn around and go to wait for Mei Rui outside the Zichen Palace, and go out of the palace with her, who knew that he heard Huaizhu muttering behind him: "It's better to leave, leave me alone, no one needs me to worry about it." ”
The voice was very aggrieved, Fu San'er turned his head to look, but saw that she had already buried her head and walked to the court, Fu San'er looked at her back wrapped in a spring shirt, waist is waist and legs are legs, slender and appropriate, he touched his head and said: "Emotional beauties are sympathetic to beauties." ”
Mei Rui turned the corridor and entered the Zichen Palace, which was burning with medicinal herbs, and the disease of smallpox was accompanied by a high fever, and the imperial doctors stood in a circle around the little emperor, all of them looked terrified. The little emperor stood among the elders and scolded in a loud voice, "What are you doing to eat? Why do you only find out about such a big thing when you die? Together with the protectors, they are all sick, and I tell you today that if anything happens to the protectors, you will all have to move your heads! ”
In the end, it was the emperor, Lu Zhi spoiled him on weekdays, and also taught him a lot of imperial skills, he picked up the tea cup on the table and fell to the ground, and fell all over the ground with a clatter, angry, and was about to fall a second time, but raised his eyes and saw Mei Rui walking in at the door of the palace. There were still outsiders, and he didn't see her as usual, so he threw himself into her arms, holding the emperor's majesty, and looked at her with a calm face: "What's the matter?" ”
Mei Rui lowered her eyes and said in a low voice: "The slave has a reluctant request, and I hope Your Majesty will agree." ”
The little emperor looked at her for a while, and waved his hand to the group of imperial doctors who were shaking like chaff: "Let's all step down." After everyone walked quietly, he tore off his cold and hard face, hurriedly walked up in two steps, and took her hand: "Rui Rui, why are you here, the palace is full of sick people, in case you are infected, how can it be good, you listen to me, go back and stay first." I don't lack you here, you just take care of yourself. ”
Saying that, he looked behind her again, frowned, and said, "Didn't Lu Zhi let Fu San'er go to you, why didn't Fu San'er tell Lu Zhi what he meant?" ”
The children of the emperor's family have always been precocious, and he has Lu Zhi on weekdays, so he lets go of his mind and doesn't care about anything, eats, drinks, and has fun, and can play foolish with Mei Rui in order to learn one less page of homework. But now that Lu Zhi is sick, he can still carry this burden without chaos.
Mei Rui felt relieved for no reason, remembering what Zhao Chun said about killing, it was really nonsense, she pressed her voice and said to the little emperor: "The slave wants to go out of the palace." ”
"Out of the palace?" The little emperor's eyebrows were twisted like twisted flowers, "Where are you going?" ”
"The slave wants to go see the Protector."
Her voice was soft and soft, but it revealed a certain unshakable firmness, and the little emperor was a little surprised: "Go and see Lu Zhen?" No, Lu Zhi asked you to stay in the palace well, you can't go anywhere, and besides, he is also sick now, won't you add chaos when you go? ”
When it really happened, the little emperor was still a little calm and meticulous beyond ordinary teenagers, and he shook his head: "You just stay in the palace, this is the most important thing." Afraid that she would be angry, he spoke out to comfort, "I was brought up by Lu Zhen, he is an elder to me, and I am really anxious about his illness, but Rui Rui, you have to think about yourself first, Lu Zhi must not want you to take such a risk." ”
"The slave maid knows," she lowered her head, looking at the pieces of broken porcelain in front of her, the news of Lu Zhi's illness was like this porcelain, cut on the tip of her heart, and it was easy to decide to open her heart to accept him, but when she encountered such a thing, Mei Rui's voice was low and lifeless, "But there is a reason why the slave and maid said this, after you heard it, you may change your mind." ”
After all, the emperor is soft-hearted, knowing that she is articulate, and once she speaks, there are countless reasons, and it is much more rational to categorically reject her, but the appearance of her kneeling in front of her makes him ruthless, and she has saved his life! The little emperor sighed: "You say, I listen." ”
Afraid that she would break her legs and let her get up to speak, Mei Rui shook her head: "You let the slave and maid finish speaking, the slave and maid invited themselves out of the palace to visit the guardian this time, first, because the escort is an extremely important person to you, the slave and maid know that you must be anxious, you can't believe others, you should always be trustworthy, and the slave and maid will take a look at the situation of the protector for you, so that you can also feel at ease." ”
She paused, and then continued: "The second is that the reason why the slave and maid begged you to answer this way is because the slave and the maid had smallpox before, so the epidemic can't help the slave and the maid, and maybe they can help from the side, and the third is that the protector had taken good care of the slave and the maid when the slave and maid were injured before, and the slave and maid went this time, which can be regarded as repaying the kindness of the guards." ”
After that, she leaned over and knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the little emperor: "Please also fulfill it." ”
The little emperor stared at her for a long time, and the young man's eyebrows were full of composure: "You said that you were infected with smallpox in the past, is this true?" ”
Mei Rui said calmly: "Don't dare to deceive." ”
"In that case," the little emperor let out a long breath, "you will go, and see Lu Zhi for me." He suddenly put on that quirky face again, and said, "I'm worried about him!" ”
As he spoke, he stepped forward and pulled Mei Rui up, took her hand and walked towards the palace gate, and said as he walked: "I estimate that there are people in the capital who are also infected, this epidemic is strange, even people as cautious as Lu Zhi have been tricked, I don't think it's very good, fortunately, you are not afraid of this, so I went to see Lu Zhi for me, he is a very good person, not a traitor in the mouth of the courtiers." ”
Mei Rui smiled and couldn't help asking, "You believe in the Protector like this?" “
The little emperor's clear eyes looked extremely firm, and he nodded: "I won't look at the wrong person, and my father and emperor have also told me that my father will not look at the wrong person." ”
He solemnly took Mei Rui's hand and said seriously: "Rui Rui, I have entrusted Lu Zhi to you, you must bring him back to see me, Dajin Jiangshan, you can't live without him." ”
The little emperor's old-fashioned appearance made Mei Rui laugh, but she also responded very cautiously: "The slave will definitely live up to His Majesty's trust." ”
When the palace gate arrived, Fu San'er was waiting outside, and when he saw the little emperor, he came up to greet him, and the little emperor waved his hand: "Okay, you guys go quickly, let Lu Zhi come to see me again when he recovers from his illness, there are still many affairs waiting for him to deal with." ”
As he said that, he walked in with his hands behind his back, and his faint voice came from the hall, with some immaturity, but it seemed to be a bud that broke out of the ground, with some kind of inexplicable power: "Gao Xi, where did I see my homework yesterday?" ”
Mei Rui clasped her hands and said to Fu San'er, who had been waiting for a long time: "Let's go, Father-in-law Xiaofu." ”
