When Jiang Ruan woke up, it was already dark, it was not a spacious room, and it looked a little old, as if it was not often inhabited. A young woman who looked like a maid was standing beside her, and was adding food to the table, when she saw that she was awake, but silently put the food faster, and then grabbed her things and ran out of the house as fast as she could.

Jiang Ruan didn't chase him out, and he didn't know how long he slept, and things seemed to be going more smoothly than expected. Since then, taking advantage of the chaos, when Tianzhu rescued Dewdrop, a few people suddenly rushed up and snatched the things rewarded by the Empress Dowager Yide, and she was also knocked out and taken away. I was probably drugged, and I woke up now.

Jiang Ruan lowered his eyes, but when he was taken away, he saw Forsythia being stabbed with his own eyes, and he didn't know what the injury was now. I'm afraid that now the capital is turning upside down.

I don't know what it is, but no one has looked for it yet. Whether it is Xiao Shao's Jinyiwei or Jiang Xinzhi's people or Jing Zhaoyin, it can only show that the place where she is staying now is extremely hidden. And it is impossible to find the saintess of southern Xinjiang in such a hidden place, Xuanli is cunning and will not do it himself, so naturally it can only be the handiwork of the princess of southern Xinjiang and Qi Man.

Jiang Ruan walked to the window, opened the window and looked out, it was dark outside, it seemed very quiet, as if he had been far away from the wilderness hundreds of miles away from the capital. There's a different kind of tranquility. Jiang Ruan didn't try to go out, she believed that as long as she went out, at least dozens of masters would block her way - this was nothing more than a house arrest, which was arranged by Xuan Li and carried out by Qi Man.

What is she going to do now? You don't have to do anything, just wait.

Jiang Ruan felt a little hungry in his stomach, he hadn't eaten since he entered the palace today, and he had slept for a long time at the moment, and he was already very tired. She walked to the table and sat down, there were a few dishes of porridge and side dishes on the table, which were not rich, so Jiang Ruan picked up the bowl and slowly began to eat.

Xuanli also wanted to use her as a bargaining chip to make a deal with Xiao Shao, so naturally he wouldn't be embarrassed with her before, and there must be no poison in these meals. Jiang Ruan took two bites, and suddenly felt a wave of nausea in her stomach and went up her throat, which came suddenly, which caught her off guard and immediately shook her chopsticks and retched.

At this time, he began to retch, only to hear the door "bang" and someone knocked it open from the outside, and the woman like a servant rushed in, with some nervousness on her face, maybe afraid that she would do some tricks, standing aside at the moment, looking at Jiang Ruan with some vigilance and hesitation and did not speak.

Jiang Ruan knew in his heart that he must have ordered Xuanli to send someone to serve her before he came to Xuanli, focusing on how cunning she was. is in the eyes of this maid now, she must think that she is thinking of some way to escape. But Jiang Ruan didn't have the slightest such thought at the moment, she plundered a vague conjecture in her heart, but her face was not obvious, she just deliberately took out a handkerchief from her arms and gently wiped the corners of her lips, and said lightly: "This meal is really not to taste." ”

The maid was stunned for a moment, but still didn't speak, Jiang Ruan was stunned, could it be that Xuanli sent a dumb person in order to be foolproof? She said: "Let's make a table again, your master knows the truth, and he will not refuse." ”

The maid hesitated for a moment, and then turned around and walked out. After the servant left, Jiang Ruan suppressed the nausea in his heart, walked to the edge of the bed and sat down unhurriedly, stroked his forehead, and made a somewhat tired appearance. The house is full of spies hiding in the shadows, and if you don't pay attention, someone will catch you. At this moment, Jiang Ruan leaned on the cushion on the soft couch, but he couldn't hide his horror in his heart.

The nausea in her stomach was not groundless, almost at the same moment, a thought flashed through her mind, could it be...... Are you pregnant?

A few days ago, her taste became a little strange, and she liked to eat sour things, but she didn't feel disgusting, so she thought it was just a bad appetite after the beginning of spring. Who knew that Lu Dao's actions today almost made her heart tighten, even at this moment, she couldn't decide whether it was or not, but as long as there was a 1 in 10,000 chance, it was enough to make her feel uneasy.

How so? Jiang Ruan did a lot of calculations, and he didn't expect that he might come at this time. The reason why she made this plan was based on thinking of herself as a bargaining chip, and Xuanli must protect her and keep her safe for the time being. And to provoke the discord between Xuanli and Southern Xinjiang, the point of this outgoing situation lies in the Holy Maiden of Southern Xinjiang. But if she found out that she was pregnant...... Any woman will not be indifferent to the sight that her beloved man has someone else's child. In particular, the possessiveness of the saint has reached a perverted level. If she learns the news, she will inevitably lose even the slightest scruples and sanity in the back. Jiang Ruan is not afraid of death, even in the face of danger, how can a person who has died once feel scared easily. But in the previous life, the tragic situation of Pei'er before her death is still a nightmare even in this life, how can she watch such a tragedy happen again?

Jiang Ruan's heart froze, and for the first time he felt annoyed by his decision. If she had found out the condition of her body earlier, she would not have made this decision so rashly. This child came to this world in the expectation of her and Xiao Shao, but what is it that is at this time, in this time of danger and killing everywhere.

After closing his eyes, when he opened them again, Jiang Ruan's gaze had become resolute. At this point, self-pity and self-pity no longer have any effect. Rather than act on the opportunity, her hand slowly stroked to her lower abdomen, as if a new little life had really been born there. Jiang Ruan looked at her hand, a warm feeling came, and her gaze gradually began to soften.

If there really is a child here, she will protect him from harm, even if she does everything she can. But what is that kid like? Is it a boy or a girl, does it look like Xiao Shao or follow her? Jiang Ruan's heart was a little complicated, it was a special feeling mixed with expectation and worry, and in the end, expectation finally triumphed over worry. She opened her mouth and said silently to the little life who didn't know if it existed: "You accompany your mother, and your mother will accompany you." ”

……。

Jiang Ruan's situation on this side naturally could not reach the ears of the anxious people in the center of the capital. In the past few days, everyone who has something to do with the Jinying Mansion has come up to offer condolences. In the General's Mansion, the Li family was already sick in bed, and Zhao Guang was also eager to turn the entire capital over, and several sons and young masters of the General's Mansion also used their own abilities to find people, but unfortunately they all returned in vain. It was Guan Lianghan, who was very arrogant, who also came to Jinying's Mansion for a few days, wanting to comfort Xiao Shao.

"Third child, don't be too sad." Guan Lianghan patted Xiao Shao's shoulder, he was a rough man, he didn't know how to persuade him, scratched his head, and only held back one sentence: "You see that my younger brother and sister are not easy to bully, but if you did the right thing with her, which one ended up in a good end?" Maybe this time it's also in her calculations, and the master behind it has been cheated and I don't know what's going on. ”

Guan Lianghan said it unintentionally, but Qi Feng on the side almost jumped in his heart when he heard it, if it weren't for the fact that this matter was very confidential, Jiang Ruan and Xiao Shao would not have been able to tell Guan Lianghan, and they almost thought that Guan Lianghan had also learned the truth. He glanced at Xiao Shao, who was silent, and sighed in his heart, how could he not understand Xiao Shao's thoughts. It is one thing for Zhilu Dao to believe in Jiang Ruan's ability, and it is another thing to do it. No matter how much you believe it, you still have to worry in your heart.

Mo Cong looked around and said strangely: "Why don't you see the fifth brother?" ”

"He's checking on the injuries of the third sister-in-law's two girls." Qi Feng said: "Those two maids were seriously injured and almost couldn't be saved. Xia Wu has been busy with this matter these days. ”

"It's ...... to be so vicious to the two maids." Mo Cong slammed his mouth, and the remaining sentence "I don't know what Lu Dao will do to the third sister-in-law" was swallowed after seeing Xiao Shao's face.

But at this end, Mo Congzheng looked at Dewdrop's injury again, checked her pulse, put her hand back in the quilt, comforted Dew Drop a few words, and then walked out of the door. As soon as he went out, he saw Jin Er waiting at the door outside, and when he saw Mo Cong coming out, he said anxiously: "How is her injury?" ”

"It's much better." Mo Cong said: "A few days ago, it was more serious, but fortunately, Miss Dewdrop has a stoic temperament, her body is also good, and the wound is recovering well. In the remaining days, as long as you apply and drink medicine on time, and take care of yourself, your body will only gradually get better. Just during this time, don't do any heavy work. ”

Jin Er said yes again and again, Mo Cong raised his feet and was about to leave, when he suddenly remembered something, and said: "By the way, you go in and apply medicine to her, today the two maids who gave her medicine went to the forsythia girl to do acupuncture, and they can't be busy for a while, you are a person who practices martial arts, and you can handle it well, since you are going to become a husband and wife with her, you don't have to care a lot." ”

Mo Cong lived in seclusion on weekdays, and he didn't pay much attention to things outside, so he really didn't know the dislike between Lu Dao Dew Drop and Jin Er because of Liao Meng. Second, people who are responsible for the art of Qihuang have always looked down on these very lightly, and they don't care much about skin kisses, as long as they are self-cleansing in their hearts.

After saying this, Mo Cong didn't feel anything wrong, and walked to Forsythia's house with the medicine box. Jinji was stunned for a long time before coming back to his senses.

Inside the house, Dew was lying with her back to the outside, and she was lying in bed these days, not worrying much about her injuries, but rather about Jiang Ruan's disappearance. She always remembered that if she hadn't been injured at that time, Jiang Ruan asked Tianzhu to come over to protect her, maybe Jiang Ruan would not have been taken away. Dewdrop's heart was full of self-blame, thinking that it would be better to die at that time, Jiang Ruan was taken away by those vicious people, what would be the consequences, Dew Drop didn't dare to think about it at all. Xiao Shao didn't blame her, but asked Xia Qing to heal her, the more this happened, the more guilty Lu Zhu felt in her heart, sometimes thinking that if Jiang Ruan really had any accidents, she would follow her, and it was also a fate between master and servant.

Thinking like this, I couldn't help but hear the sound of someone pushing the door behind me. Dew didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that it was time to apply the medicine, it must be a few little maids who came to apply the medicine, so she didn't look back.

Only when the footsteps reached the bedside, did Dew Drop speak: "It's hard for you today, you don't have to make any preparations, just apply the medicine directly." ”

But said that the footsteps paused, and Dew felt that the bed was sinking, and it should be a person sitting on the edge of the bed, and she changed her lying position, so that it was easier to take medicine. Immediately afterward, I felt a chill on my back, and my clothes were lifted. Dew Drop was a little uncomfortable with the coolness, and I felt that it was a little strange why this girl didn't speak today, could it be that something was wrong? I felt like a hand was touching my scar.

The hands were different from the soft hands of the dressing girl on weekdays, slender and slightly rough, like a cocoon brought out by years of martial arts, this was a pair of men's hands, the dew drops were startled, and suddenly turned back and glared at the person in front of him.

Jin Er sat in front of her, and when he saw her acting like this, he was a little anxious, so he hurriedly pressed her shoulder and whispered, "Don't move, be careful of the wound!" ”

"Why are you here?" Dew Drop was ashamed and angry, so ashamed that this person suddenly came silently, and looked at her body, angry ....... What is their relationship now?

"I'll give you the medicine." Jin Er picked up the ointment on the side and said softly: "Forsythia wants acupuncture, and the maid who applied the medicine has passed, and I will do it for me." Don't move, if you pull the wound, be careful of the pain. ”

It turned out that it was just a substitute for dressing, and Dew Drop couldn't tell if she was disappointed or what, she was a little annoyed with her own thoughts, so she didn't care about the injury on her back, and sat up and pushed Jinji out: "I don't want you to give me a dressing, you go out!" ”

However, the action was a little bigger, and it really involved the wound, and I only felt a heart-piercing pain, and the dew "hissed" and gasped, almost pouring. Jinji was startled, grabbed her arm and pressed her in his arms, although he moved extremely fast, he was extremely careful not to touch the wound of the dewdrops, and said in a somewhat distressed tone: "Be careful, the wound is not healed yet, don't hurt yourself." ”

Dewdrop's heart was sour, even when she was at her best with Jinji, this person liked to bully her to see her angry, when had she been so gentle, but now this gentleness looks more like irony. She sneered: "Jinji, what the hell do you mean, is it fun to bully me like this?" ”

Liao Meng's matter, Lu Zhu didn't pay attention to it at all, because it was just a means, and she was not an unreasonable person. People in the world pursue flawless feelings, but where are there so many flawless feelings? If you have to worry about everything, wouldn't life be very tiring. But she didn't take it to heart, but Jinji took it to heart, and he didn't express any intention of getting back to good luck. Dew Drop has always wanted to give him time, and most of the Jinyi guards are very strict with themselves, but before they can wait for that time, this happened.

"Dewdrops." Jin Er saw that her emotions suddenly became excited, and he couldn't care about anything else, pressed her in his arms, buried his hand on her chest with one hand, and said a little hurriedly: "I'm sorry, the dew drop is my fault, it's me who is too cowardly, I think I am not worthy of you, I don't know how to face you." I thought it would be good to wait a little longer, just a little longer, but I didn't expect that God never gives people time to wait. You're back that day dripping with blood, and I'm ...... I don't seem to be like myself anymore, I'm so afraid of losing you, I thought that day, if you weren't there, my life would not be good. His lips were pressed to Dewdrop's forehead, with an unfamiliar heat: "It's okay, you're still there, it doesn't matter what you do, if you're angry, I'll wait until the day you forgive me, Dewdrop, I'm sorry, don't be angry, okay." If you get angry, just hit me and scold me, don't hurt yourself. ”

Jin Er's words were clumsy and cautious, where is there still half a cent of rhetoric on weekdays, I am afraid that I have not had a stupid mouth when I was a teenager, and it is all displayed in front of the dew at this moment. Jin Er knew that if his colleagues saw his clumsy appearance, he was afraid that he would laugh for three years and five years, but he didn't care about it anymore. Because what he says at this moment is all his heart.

That day, watching the dew drops being carried back dripping with blood, Tianzhu only said that she was stabbed, and the blood flowed shocked him, and the serious look on Xia Qing's face also made Jin Erdeng's hands and feet feel cold. He stood outside the dewdrop's house, watching Xia Qing go in and work for several hours, he didn't think about anything in those hours, just thinking, if something happened to the dewdrop, what would he do?

People will meet countless people in their lives, among which there are not a few people who like them, and there are very few people who like them and they happen to like themselves. The word "growing old" is easy to say, but it is too difficult to do. And how many setbacks may be encountered in the world, why not cherish the present?

Jinji can't say how he feels at the moment, but he just feels that the dew is still there, and he is still alive and well, which may be the greatest luck and mercy that God has treated him. He suddenly felt that he was very stupid before, those so-called foreign objects and faces, those unjustified guilt and timidity, in fact, are not worth mentioning, what is more important than two people?

Dew closed her eyes, if it was usual, she must have been very moved to hear this, but now. She slowly pushed Jin Er's arms away, forcing the tears in her eyes back, she said, "What's the use of you talking about this now?" Now between us, it's impossible. ”

"For what?" Jinji looked at her eagerly: "If you are angry, it doesn't matter, I don't expect you to forgive me right now, I ......"

"It's none of your business." Lu Zhu settled down and said: "You are the young master of the Huang family, even if you follow your uncle, you are also a free body, but I am a maid who has not escaped slavery, and my identity does not match." Moreover....... She was a little sad: "I still have that terrible scar on my body. You can find a better girl, we are always unsuitable, and we are probably not destined in this life. ”

For women who have not left the cabinet, it is intolerable to have scars on their bodies. is a girl who has already left the cabinet, and there is a scar on her body, which is enough to be a reason to fall out of favor. Even a scar on the back is enough to be considered disfiguring. Who wants to see an ugly scar appear on their otherwise smooth skin? Besides, the dew drop knife is extremely deep, and after the wound heals, it will inevitably leave a scar, which is what Xia Qing said himself. The Jinling Holy Hand has said so, which means that there is no room for turning around at all.

Jin Er didn't expect that it was this matter that Dew Drop was obsessed with, he was stunned for a moment, as if he suddenly understood, and suddenly Ha Lu Ha Da smiled, Lu Zhu was slightly stunned, and looked at him with some annoyance. Jinji coughed before touching her hair: "Silly girl, I don't mind this." ”

Dew Drop shook her head: "Although you don't mind now, you will mind one day." I don't want you to regret it in the future, so that both of them have no face...... "Even if the girl is strong in appearance, when she is for the man she loves, she is always cowardly and not confident, I hope that I can be better, better, and can meet my sweetheart with the best and most beautiful appearance." That's just the right thing to do. Closeness and timidity, that's the truth.

"I won't regret it," Jinji put away the smile on his face, looked at the dew drops and said seriously, "I know that I don't seem to be a reliable person, I always make you angry, and I love to bully you." But Dewdrop, since I was a child, you are the first girl I liked, I don't know what to say, but when I look at you every day to get angry and bully you, I can feel that you will notice me and talk to me. "The playboy of the famous game Qinglou, one day met a girl who was disdainful of him, and what made people even more anxious was that he found that he still liked this girl, so naturally he could only use some naïve methods to attract her attention. He said: "But what I like is you, not your appearance." There will always be a day when the appearance will grow old, no matter how beautiful it is, it can't withstand the passage of time. Don't say that this scar is on your back, it is on your face, you are the most beautiful girl in my heart. As for what you said, we are really not very suitable now? Or will I also ask my master for a favor and take me as a servant of the king's house? ”

Dew Drop was very moved when she heard the front, but when she heard the last sentence, she couldn't help but be shocked. Immediately raised his head and looked at Jinji: "Are you crazy?" What caught his eye was Jinji's evil smile, and when he saw it, he understood that he was bluffing himself, and said angrily: "You lied to me again!" ”

"Be careful!" Jiner held her shoulder: "Don't pull the wound, I'll apply medicine to you, if you want to beat me, I'll come to fight later, and when the medicine is applied, I will come to your house every day to let you have a good time." ”

The man began to flamboyate again, only this time, Dew Drop did not raise the bar with him, but turned around silently, her face was still slightly red, and she muttered in a low voice: "Dengzi." "It's just that the words of refusal can no longer be spoken.

Jinji felt fear in his heart because he was afraid of losing her, why shouldn't she? At the moment of life and death, all the past is passed by the present, and those grievances and calculations are suddenly not so important. Because you know how to cherish because you have lost, and life is a thing worth cherishing. Those trivial things, just let it be.

……

In the palace, everyone sat with a solemn face about their own affairs, and even the most cheerful little eunuchs on weekdays secretly made a bitter face, and they didn't dare to come out of the atmosphere, for fear of touching the mold of one of the masters.

Since the emperor fell ill, things in the palace have not gone well, and there have been one after another, first Gonggong Li died, and now Princess Jinying has also disappeared. Although Princess Jinying is a member of the Xiao family, but before she got married, she was also on the royal jade butterfly to seal the county lord, and she was most happy with the Empress Dowager Yide, this time Jiang Ruan disappeared, and the people from the General's Mansion came to the palace every once in a while to discuss the matter with the Empress Dowager Yide, and the Empress Dowager Yide was also furious, and also sent people to track down Jiang Ruan's whereabouts, but unfortunately they all returned in vain. Thinking of this, the little eunuch had another headache.

After walking a few steps forward, I happened to see Gonggong Chen in front of him throwing dust and ordering a few eunuchs to do things, and when I saw him, I asked, "Where are you going?" ”

"The imperial dining room has boiled medicinal food for Xiuyi Niangniang." The little eunuch raised a smiling face, and was a little flattering to Chen Gong in front of him. Half a month ago, this Gonggong Chen was still a little eunuch who was the same as him, and he had no status in the palace. is stupid and clumsy, always making mistakes, if it weren't for the backer of Gonggong Li behind him, I don't know how many times Lu Dao died. As a result, Gonggong Li died, but this little Chen Zi took advantage of the situation to ascend to heaven, because of his filial piety to Gonggong Li, he was directly promoted to the chief manager by Dong Xiuyi, who is now in charge. The Empress Dowager Yide had no objection, saying that it was false not to be jealous, but the little eunuch also knew in his heart that now this person could not be offended, and he could only please him. Thinking about it, he sighed again in his heart, and said that once the son of heaven was a courtier, the emperor is now seriously ill, and Gonggong Li is dead again, and he has been replaced by Gonggong Chen, I don't know if Lu Dao will even change the prince of the Great Jin Dynasty .......

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Gonggong Chen's slightly shrill voice coming: "Go." ”

The little eunuch hurriedly wiped his sweat, carried his things and walked to Dong Xiuyi's bedroom. When I arrived in Dong Xiuyi's bedroom, I didn't see anyone, only a few palace maids. The little eunuch greeted him with a smile and asked, "Sister, Xiuyi Niangniang is not here?" ”

"The mother is gone." The palace maid saw the food basket in the little eunuch's hand and took it: "It's medicinal food, turn around and tell the mother that it is, you go back." ”

The little eunuch was a little apprehensive when he heard this, but he easily won this errand from others, and he also spent a silver hairpin on his own, in order to show his face in front of Dong Xiuyi. You must know that there is only this Dong Xiuyi in charge of the harem now, if he gets Dong Xiuyi's other eyes, maybe he will have a chance to climb up. But it's not possible right now. The little eunuch was disappointed in his heart, but he still smiled enthusiastically on his face, and said a few more words to the palace maid before leaving.

At this moment, Dong Ying'er is in a long corridor in the palace, and there is only one of her personal maids around. Now she is not what she used to be, because she has full authority to take care of the emperor's affairs, Mu Xirou doesn't care about things at all, if there is no Empress Dowager Yide in this harem, she can almost cover the sky with one hand. At the moment, she is gorgeously dressed and her makeup is exquisite, but her mind is not at all about stirring up the harem, and her purpose has not changed from beginning to end. She's here, just to wait for someone.

But after a while, I saw a person hurrying to the other end of the corridor, the person was in a hurry, and when he came to the front, Dong Ying'er smiled slightly, and then greeted him and said, "Long time no see, General Jiang." ”

The man paused, stopped, and glanced at her with some doubts, as if he was recalling who this person was, and this glance immediately pierced Dong Yinger's heart, it turned out that in this person's heart, he was nothing, and he had not left any traces?

She bit her lip, but Jiang Xinzhi seemed to remember, nodded and said, "Dong Xiuyi." ”

His tone was restrained and polite, but it pierced Dong Ying'er's heart even more. She looked at the man in front of her, the man she had been dreaming of for a long time. Compared with the beginning, he looks more mature and handsome, and the kind of elegance and fortitude are very good together, showing a different kind of charm. This is a very different kind of youth and tension from the emperor, the man who is old enough to be her father. Dong Ying'er found that even after such a long time, when she saw this man again, her heart like stagnant water would still beat for him.

"Do you remember me?" She smiled and said reservedly: "At the beginning, I was very good with Sister Ruan. ”

Jiang Xinzhi was a little puzzled, he was not a hairy boy who didn't know anything, so he naturally saw that Dong Ying'er looked at him a little strangely, and at this moment, Dong Ying'er said this, and he was a little disgusted for no reason. What kind of person Jiang Ruan is Jiang Xinzhi knows very well, although he looks at people on the surface, in fact, he will really treat people well if he treats people well. That Lin Zixiang and Zhao Jin are both friends of Jiang Ruan, and Jiang Ruan will also mention it, and sometimes he will help secretly mention some things, but Jiang Ruan has never mentioned this Dong Ying'er. Jiang Xinzhi has never doubted his sister's decision, so Dong Ying'er's statement immediately made him a little unhappy. Besides, he really has no impression of Dong Yinger. So Jiang Xinzhi heard this. , just said lightly: "Oh, it's a shallow memory." ”

Dong Ying'er felt a pain in her heart, how could Jiang Xinzhi say such things so lightly, such words are not just admitting that she can't remember what she said in her heart? Why did he embarrass himself like this? Dong Ying'er's surging and complicated feelings poured into her heart together, she knew that Jiang Xinzhi came to the palace today to discuss with the Empress Dowager Yide about Jiang Ruan's abduction, so she deliberately waited for him on this road. She wanted Jiang Xinzhi to see her and not ignore her like she did back then.

But if she is already a high-ranking mother, everyone in the palace is afraid and respectful, why is this man still ignoring her? For what? It's because ....... That woman?

Dong Ying'er forcibly suppressed the case in her heart, trying not to make her expression look distorted and hideous, she said, "I heard that General Jiang ...... Are you going to marry Miss Zhao? ”

------Off topic------

I'll write another chapter tomorrow, and I'll take a leave of absence to write the finale~ I'm so happy, lala~
