What happened in Cining Palace, Jiang Ruan didn't know, but the things in this world were destined in the dark, and even if it was a coincidence, it was easy to bump into each other. Xiao Shao's thoughts, and some people thought of going with him.

In the mansion of the chief soldier, Gu Yi opened a small house, and was about to sneak out of the mansion, when he walked to the gate of the courtyard, he heard a familiar voice behind him: "Yi'er, where are you going?" ”

Gu Yi's face fell, and he turned his head in disdain, and sure enough, he saw Mrs. Gu standing behind him, walked in front of him in a few steps, and reproached: "Now that it's so messy outside, where do you want to go?" ”

Gu Yi's eyes rolled a few times, and he had an idea: "I..." I want to go into the palace to see my cousin. ”

Gu Yi's cousin is also a talented person in the palace, and the relationship between the two sisters and brothers was also very good, since the cousin entered the palace, Gu Yi hasn't seen her for a long time.

It's just that this reason is a bit far-fetched, Mrs. Gu raised her eyebrows and said, "Oh? Looking for a cousin, isn't it going to find the lord of Hong'an? ”

"Mother-" Gu Yi was a little anxious: "I, I am friends with her, and now she is in an embarrassing situation, so I can't ignore it." I just want to care about her. ”

Mrs. Gu looked at her with hatred: "Care about her? Now is the time on the cusp of the storm, you don't want to die, you just don't want to die, and don't involve the entire house. It's hard to say what Jiang Xinzhi's situation is now, you are careful to be dragged in, our house is innocent, but you can't get caught up in these things for no reason. ”

"I just want to comfort her, how can it be as complicated as my mother thinks." Gu Yi hurriedly said: "Mother, I can't be a villain who sees the wind and steers." ”

Mrs. Gu sighed, looking at her insistent son, she didn't know whether she was happy or sad in her heart. The son grew up and had his own opinions, but Gu Yi's thoughts were clear to Mrs. Gu, and she didn't think of Jiang Ruan in her heart. I thought it was a child's love for a while, but after such a long time, it may not be a good thing for Gu Yi.

Seeing that Mrs. Gu's expression was relaxed, Gu Yi was overjoyed, and flattered Mrs. Gu and said, "Mother, my aunt and I will go together to send something to my cousin, and I will be back soon." ”

Mrs. Gu didn't speak, which was the default meaning, Gu Yi hurriedly asked the little maid to prepare the horse, turned around and walked out of the yard.

The grandmother next to her said, "Madame just let the young master go?" ”

"The county lord of Hong'an is a smart man," Mrs. Gu said lightly: "Let him go, it's good to cut off his thoughts." ”

……

At the same time, Jingzhao Yin's mansion.

The maid handed over a small cup of stewed pears with sugar and water, the sugar water was boiled viscous, and it looked very good in the crystal cup. The maid put the sugar water aside and reached out to help the person curled up on the couch: "Girl, get up and drink some sugar water." ”

"Don't." A weak voice came, seemingly with a deep nasal voice and a crying voice. The maid was a little embarrassed, and Wen Yan persuaded: "The girl doesn't have to worry too much, the matter has not yet come to light, maybe it has not reached the worst, why delay your body." ”

The man lying on the couch seemed to be touched by these words, and his shoulders shook, and he became more and more sad. After a while, he slowly sat up, revealing a haggard and pale face, which was Dong Ying'er.

Dong Ying'er was wearing a honey-colored jacket, her hair was only combed in a simple bun, and the rest was draped behind her head to look a little messy. There is no longer a light and delicate appearance before, but at the same age as a flower, there is an old state. The eyes were a little swollen because they had been soaked in tears for a long time, and the hair on both cheeks was wet with tears, which looked so pitiful.

She licked her dry lips and asked, "What time is it?" ”

Outside the house, Lord Dong and Mrs. Dong were worried, and Lord Dong put the teacup in his hand on the table and sighed heavily.

"It's come to this, and Ying'er has no other choice." Mrs. Dong's eyes were unusually firm: "Don't have a relationship with that Jiang Xinzhi, as soon as this matter comes out, it's good that Ying'er can break her thoughts." ”

"Madam," Master Dong shook his head: "Ying'er is gentle on the surface, but she is extremely stubborn on the inside, I'm afraid she will do stupid things." ”

"I know better than you do, daughter." Mrs. Dong said: "Long-term pain is better than short-term pain, and sadness is better than indulging in impossible things for a lifetime." Besides, you know best what the situation is in the house, sir. Now there is only one way to go. She stood up, as if she had made up her mind: "I'll go in and persuade." ”

Dong Ying'er sat on the couch in a daze, like a lifeless clay doll. When Mrs. Dong Fang entered the house and saw this scene, she couldn't help but feel a pain in her heart. waved his hand to let the maid go down, and walked to the edge of the collapse and sat down. Wen Sheng called: "Ying'er." ”

After a long time, Dong Ying'er seemed to react, turned her head to look at Mrs. Dong's close face, met the pair of loving eyes, and had mixed feelings in her heart, and after only calling "mother", she couldn't speak anymore, and fell on Mrs. Dong and cried bitterly.

Who could have known that when she heard the news that the border was in an emergency, and Jiang Xinzhi's army was defeated and captured, she was shocked and greatly distressed in her heart. If it weren't for her daughter's family, I'm afraid that I would like to fly to the border in person at this moment to see what it looks like. When she thought of such a wise and martial artist, the most handsome man was like countless soldiers, becoming a piece of loess on the battlefield, Dong Ying'er was in pain.

Poor and uncertain riverside bones, like a person in a spring boudoir dream. She hadn't told him that she was anxious, and he didn't know what she wanted, so heaven and man were separated forever. In this way, she suffered for Jiang Xinzhi and was grounded in this mansion, all in vain! There is one of the saddest things in the world, and it is over before it can begin.

The obsession in Dong Yinger's heart is Jiang Xinzhi, and now that Jiang Xinzhi has ended up like this, how can she not collapse.

Mrs. Dong took Dong Ying'er in her arms, patted her back distressedly, and comforted her as before: "I don't blame you for this, only God blames people." Now that Vice General Jiang has become such an ending, you don't want to delay your body. Father and mother, as well as your brother, are all distressed by you, if you are hurt, your mother will feel distressed. Seeing that you hurt, my mother's heart also hurts. ”

"Mother," Dong Ying'er cried bitterly: "My heart is so bitter-"

"Mother knows that you are bitter in your heart." Mrs. Dong hugged Dong Ying'er tighter: "Mother, why don't you be bitter." You only know that Deputy General Jiang Dao was defeated, but you can know that Lu Dao's current power in the DPRK is becoming more and more complicated. Our mansion was originally neutral, but Vice General Jiang was defeated, and some things were put on the table, and our mansion was the chestnut in the fire, and everyone wanted to come and take it. Your father and your eldest brother are neither advancing nor retreating now, and they are all losing if they are not careful. Why isn't our house roasted in the fire? She stroked Dong Ying'er's long hair: "Vice General Jiang really died on the battlefield, and the military general Ma Ge shrouded his body, that was a well-deserved death." I'm afraid that I'm afraid that I'm going to die in a daze, hey. ”

Mrs. Dong's voice was full of exhaustion and worry, Dong Ying'er raised her head, she has been locked in the house these days, and even she has snubbed Lord Dong and Mrs. Dong a lot, and she doesn't pay attention to the affairs of the house, why, when she doesn't know what to do, the house has been embarrassed to such a point?

She turned her eyes to look at Mrs. Dong, and when she saw it, she didn't pay attention to it on weekdays, but she saw that Mrs. Dong, who was originally round and jade, had lost a lot of weight at some point, and her eyebrows were full of sadness, and her expression was also very haggard. Dong Ying'er was stunned in her heart and asked, "Mother, what happened?" ”

"It has nothing to do with you." Mrs. Dong smiled and touched her head: "As long as you are good, my mother will be happier than anything else." ”

Dong Ying'er didn't think so, Mrs. Dong's words had been deeply rooted in her heart. Originally, she was in love with Jiang Xinzhi, but now whether Jiang Xinzhi is captured or killed in battle, it is impossible to be with her in this life. Now she has also withdrawn from the Chang family, and there is no way back in the future, anyway, there is no love in life. I thought it was a hundred times, but when I saw Mrs. Jiang in such a situation, I changed my mind.

The only people in the world who can always be by her side and are as good to her as ever are her relatives. She originally rebelled against her relatives for Jiang Xinzhi, since she no longer had any other wishes in this life, why not fulfill it?

She looked at Mrs. Dong: "Mother, I'll enter the palace." ”

"You ......" Mrs. Dong was stunned for a moment, and smiled reluctantly: "You should rest now, after these things, it is the right thing to recuperate, don't think about anything else." ”

"Mother," Dong Ying'er smiled lightly, and for a moment, something seemed to be disappearing in those playful eyes, replaced by a faint coldness: "Since the house is so difficult, my brother and father still have to gain a foothold in the court, and they accidentally became other people's rafts." When I enter the palace, I can at least seek a shelter from His Majesty, and at least I can change His Majesty's peace of mind to the Dong family. She stood up suddenly, knelt down in front of Mrs. Dong, and kowtowed respectfully three times: "My daughter is not filial, my daughter was at fault before, and she abandoned Dong's mansion for her own selfishness, and asked her mother to give her daughter a chance to compensate and let her daughter enter the palace." ”

Her tone insisted, as if she no longer had a trace of attachment to Jiang Xinzhi, and even the pain of the stars disappeared in an instant, as if she had never admired a military general named Jiang Xinzhi.

Mrs. Dong looked at her, she didn't know whether she was happy or sad in her heart, and thousands of emotions turned into a long sigh.

That Jiang Xinzhi finally turned Dong Yinger into a completely different person, and Dong Yinger's life was rewritten. At this moment, the playful and unrestrained girlhood is over, and from then on, Dong Yinger will enter the deep palace, in the cage of conspiracy and power, step by step, for herself and her family, to seek a temporary prosperous glory.

Walking out of Dong Ying'er's house, Master Dong stepped forward and asked, "Madam, how is it?" ”

Mrs. Dong was silent, just slowly closed her eyes, stood in front of the statue of Guanyin in the hall, and at the same time put her hands together, a tear splashed out quickly, falling in the incense ash burner and disappearing.

If you don't live with her, you can only use the rest of your life to atone for your sins. May this life be peaceful and joyful, even if it is only ...... Ask.

……

In the garden outside the princess's palace, Jiang Ruan raised his eyes to look at the young man in front of him.

Gu Yi was dressed in a lake-green Tianjin robe, with a large auspicious cloud pattern embroidered on his chest, but a pair of black eyes were staring at Jiang Ruan tightly, with a slight nervousness in his eyes.

In a trance, it seems to be back to the exquisite boat that I first saw a few years ago, the young man is the proud son of heaven from a rich and noble family, just like the big peony in this hall, life is full of flowers, and it is born to stop and appreciate.

At the beginning, it was just a shallow use, but now things are wrong, and the boy has grown into a young man, but his eyes seem to be more sincere than before. The frivolity receded a little, and he was a little more composed, but the person watching was still the same.

"Gu Gongzi." Jiang Ruan's head. She can smile gently at the people who are vicious in her heart, and treat this persistent love, but she can only use coldness to deal with it.

"Miss Jiang." Gu Yi didn't call her the lord of Hong'an, in Gu Yi's heart, Jiang Ruan was just like the Ruan Niang of the Jiang family when they first met. He was amazed by her beauty, fair lady, gentleman. Later, Jiang Ruan went to the imperial mausoleum with the Queen Mother, and returned with glory three years later, but Gu Yi was shocked to find that it was as if a dusty jade had finally been discovered, and it had been carved a little bit, and it became more and more difficult to take your eyes off.

It's just that although he is the son of the chief soldier's mansion, he must also be cautious in his words and deeds, Jiang Ruan is now the lord of Hong'an, and it is rare to have contact with it on weekdays. Moreover, Lord Gu also explicitly forbade him not to get too close to Jiang Ruan.

Until the news of Jiang Xin's defeat came, Gu Yi couldn't hold back anymore. In his opinion, it is conceivable what the outcome of a defeated lieutenant general will end up in the court, Jiang Ruan is in the palace and has no intention of being pushed to the forefront. The longer you stay in the palace, the more dangerous it becomes. It is inevitable that Jiang Xinzhi will be implicated.

Gu Yi opened his mouth and said: "Miss Jiang, I hope that Miss Ling's matter will be more relieved." ”

"Thank you for your consolation." Jiang Ruan said lightly.

Seeing Jiang Ruan's attitude, Gu Yi was a little apprehensive for a while, but when he thought of what he was going to say next, he was suddenly full of courage: "Miss Jiang, now that Vice General Jiang's life and death are uncertain, Miss Jiang is too dangerous in the palace." The situation in the imperial court is now chaotic, and Miss Jiang and Vice General Jiang are brother and sister, and it is inevitable that some people will implicate Miss Jiang because of Vice General Jiang. Even the Queen Mother has places that she can't take into account. I...... I have a solution. ”

Jiang Ruan raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his lips raised: "Oh? What can Gu Gongzi do? ”

Gu Yi's heartbeat was a little fast at her glance, and she paused before saying, "As long as Miss Jiang quickly marries someone, it has nothing to do with the Jiang Mansion." If someone uses Vice General Jiang as a raft in the future, Miss Jiang is not from Jiang's mansion, and she will not be able to rely on this top, so she can retreat with her whole body. ”

"Mr. Gu has a point." Jiang Ruan sighed and said with a smile: "But at this time, who wants to marry me?" It's too late to hide. ”

"Me!" Gu Yi blurted out, seeing Jiang Ruan's expression, he hesitated for a while, and plucked up the courage to say: "I have been in love with Miss for a long time, and the General Military Mansion is not something that a small person can pull. If Miss Jiang is willing to make a marriage with Zaixia, she will definitely take good care of Miss Zai and not let Miss suffer a trace of grievances. With the support of the General Military Office, Miss Jiang will never be framed for trouble. ”

Jiang Ruan looked at the young man in front of him with a smile, the man's eyes were full of hope, and even his feelings were hot. In her previous life, she had received the name of a demon girl, and she had never encountered such a fiery expression. It's a pity that Gu Yi met her in this life, and even such a clean and fiery confession couldn't move her in the slightest.

She lowered her eyes: "I only ask Mr. Gu, what did Master Gu say?" ”

Gu Yi stiffened, what did his father say, his father taught him to break his thoughts, don't put the General Military Mansion on the fire because of a woman. However, he looked at Jiang Ruan: "I will personally convince my father." ”

Jiang Ruan shook his head: "Lord Gu will not be persuaded by you." She said softly: "Thank you for your kindness, but I know that my identity is embarrassing, how can I marry into the mansion of the chief soldier." Not only Lord Gu, but also Mrs. Gu is afraid that she does not agree. Disobeying the will of relatives and marrying is nothing more than a pair of resentful couples. Gu Gongzi gave me this heart, and I will keep it well in this life, but I insist on this heart and become unrecognizable, which is really not what I want. ”

Gu Yi was a little anxious: "Miss Jiang......." ”

"Gu Gongzi," Jiang Ruan interrupted him, "Gu Gongzi is not a young man now, I know that whenever it is necessary to pay a price, is it really worth it to make the General Military Mansion pay such a price for me?" Do you know that if you marry me, the General Soldier's Mansion will be targeted all the time, and the General Soldier will climb to today's position, because of a decision by Gu Gongzi, his career will be blocked, and Mrs. Gu will also be worried. It's just for a woman, Gu Gongzi, is it really worth it? ”

Gu Yi was a little speechless when Jiang Ruan asked this, and his original self-confident mind couldn't help but hesitate. For the sake of a Jiang Ruan, it is really worth putting the General Military Mansion in such a situation?

Jiang Ruan took a step back and said with a smile on her face: "Ruan Niang thanks Gu Gongzi for coming here today for what he said, such a precious heart, Ruan Niang will remember it well." When we meet in the future, we will still be friends. It's just the fate of a partner, but there is no more in this life. ”

Gu Yi only felt numb and bitter in his mouth, and his heart ached. The beauty is close at hand, but it is separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, and it is impossible to be together in this life. Although Gu Yi is impulsive, he also knows the pros and cons, if someone else says this to him, I'm afraid he won't be able to listen to it, and it is Jiang Ruan, his sweetheart, so that his heart will gradually cool down.

He smiled bitterly: "I understand. So, if you are not the county lord, and I am not the son of the chief soldier's mansion, do you think it is possible to fulfill a fate? ”

"There are no ifs." Jiang Ruan smiled slightly.

Gu Yi took two steps back, with undisguised sadness on his face: "There is no if." He shook his head, as if he had grown up in an instant, the inseparable pull in his eyes made people follow his heart, he turned his head and left, walked two steps but paused, and said: "I only ask one word, Miss Jiang's mind, but there was a reason to stay in the next moment." ”

"Nope." Jiang Ruan replied with a smile.

Gu Yi's body shook twice, paused for a moment, and then walked away in stride.

Seeing Gu Yi's back disappear, Jiang Ruan lowered his eyes and turned around to go back to the princess hall. Fang turned around and saw that under the osmanthus tree, a person dressed in black was cold, and the young man looked at her quietly, and he didn't know how long he had been standing here.
