It was getting dark.

After Xia Ruan came out of Taohuawu, his eyes were a little confused.

"...... You wait...... Chun Tao hurriedly chased out of the hall and handed the paper lantern in his hand to Xia Ruan, "It's a little dark, Niangniang must be careful." The slave and maid are to be sinful, so they can't give more to the mother. ”

Chun Tao smiled very sincerely, but the knife marks on her face were also eye-catching.

Even in such a faint light, you can still see clearly.

Xia Ruan took the paper lantern from Chun Tao's hand: "Chun Tao, I'm not a mother...... Today I will thank you for the lantern you gave me. ”

"I'm sorry." Chun Tao hurriedly stepped back a little, and looked at Xia Ruan with a panicked expression, "The slave knows that she is wrong, and she doesn't know how to call her superior?" ”

Xia Ruan smiled and shook his head: "You'll know later." ”

Chun Tao raised her head, with a hint of pleading in her eyes: "Then dare to ask, will you still come to visit my nobles?" ”

Under the moonlight, Xia Ruan's face was a little pale and a little tired.

The surroundings are very quiet, and you can still hear the chirping of autumn cicadas.

"If she's there, I'll come." Xia Ruan said this sentence very lightly. But Chun Tao still heard clearly, and the lady in front of her told her that she would come again.

Chun Tao smiled and stepped back a little and waved at Xia Ruan.

Xia Ruan turned around and picked up the lantern and walked towards the Imperial Garden, her words could be regarded as deceiving Chun Tao. Because she knew that Xia Qinghe would not live long...... Now Xia Qinghe is just an abandoned chess piece in Cinnabar's hand, how could Cinnabar do his best to save Xia Qinghe. For this. Xia Qinghe is naturally clear, so at the last moment, Xia Qinghe will want to see her.

Xia Qinghe is not so good, she will tell herself this, nothing more than hoping that she can help her take revenge.

However, when a person is about to die, all words must be true.

Xia Ruan never thought of taking all of Xia Qinghe's words to heart, after all, Xia Qinghe would say this, and he also wanted to take revenge on Cinnabar. So half of Xia Qinghe's words are true, and the other half is also false.

One person really hates the words of another. Then the other person does everything. All are suspicious in the heart of this person.

It's just that Xia Qinghe said a lot, and Xia Ruan still hasn't figured out whose child Cinnabar is. The only news that Xia Ruan found useful was that Cinnabar had a good force in Nixi, which seemed to have been cultivated for a long time.

Former. She didn't know any of that. Cinnabar is hidden too deeply.

Judging by the age of cinnabar. These people must not have been cultivated by Cinnabar himself, but must have come from the hands of Cinnabar's mother.

Moreover, what surprised Xia Ruan the most was that. Cinnabar actually killed her mother.

Why does Cinnabar do this? Could it be that this person is so tyrannical by nature?

Or? There are other reasons.

When he was about to walk to Chenyou Palace, Xia Ruan looked up at everything in the darkness around him, and remembered that this palace made of red bricks and gold tiles was a place that many people dreamed of wanting to come in. But when people really come in, but they want to go out, for them, how many people are really living for themselves?

Concubine An, for the sake of the hundreds of people in the An family, had to continue to pretend to be virtuous and virtuous.

Concubine Xun, even if Emperor Jianguang doesn't like her anymore, she still tries her best to survive every day, just so that the four princes will have something to rely on in the future.

And many, many concubines—

Everyone has their own unspeakable sufferings.

No one dared to pause and look back at the previous moment, because if they were not careful, they would be doomed, and there would be no chance of survival.

"Madame—." Du Ruo greeted him from afar, the corners of his eyes were slightly red, "The slave has been waiting for you for a long time, and you are finally back." ”

Xia Ruan approached with a smile and comforted Du Ruo: "I'm fine, what about Concubine An?" ”

"An Guifei Niangniang went to the Queen Mother's Cining Palace to invite the Queen Mother, and the Niangniang said that if the lady is tired when she comes back, she will rest early, and we will have breakfast together tomorrow." Du Ruo hurriedly held Xia Ruan, and then took the paper lantern from Xia Ruan's hand, "The slave maid is also tired when she looks at her wife, why don't you use some porridge and rest earlier?" ”

Xia Ruan waved his hand and took a slow breath.

There are some things that she doesn't want to wait for a moment.

The days in this palace made her feel like a year.

Maybe it's someone who has a memory in his heart, that's why he misses that person so much at this time and wants to return to that person's side.

Now she wants to go back to the Marquis of Chang'an, and she doesn't want to live in this palace full of gold dust for one more day, even if it is not for a moment.

Xia Ruan said softly: "I'm not tired, you go and tell Mama Zhu that I'll wait for Niangniang to come back in the room." If the mother is not tired, I will wait for the mother to come back and go to say hello to the mother. ”

"But madam, you ...... You have to pay more attention to your body. Du Ruo looked at Xia Ruan's somewhat pale expression, and said worriedly, "It's not too late to talk about things tomorrow." ”

Madame's body is thin, and sometimes she is still holding on, Du Ruo is really a little worried.

Xia Ruan smiled faintly: "Du Ruo, are you used to living in this palace?" ”

"Slave maid, slave maid thinks it's good anywhere." Du Ruo is a person who is not picky about places, so he doesn't feel like he goes anywhere, "There is nothing to be used to and not used to, after all, this is a place where many people want to come." ”

Xia Ruan and Du Ruo's steps were light, and the two walked towards the Chongyue Pavilion where Xia Ruan lived.

Xia Ruan glanced at the waning moon in the sky: "People have joys and sorrows, and the moon is cloudy and sunny." What's the best thing in the world? I think it's because they didn't get it, so they all think it's the best. In fact, when you really get it, when you really have it, you will know that all this is just a flash in the pan, and everything is fake. ”

Du Ruo sighed softly, and then didn't speak.

A lot of things, needless to say, are too clear.

Concubine An always raised her head arrogantly in front of people and smiled calmly.

Today, Du Ruo watched Concubine An Guifei sitting alone on the soft chair in the courtyard, and then didn't know what she was thinking, and finally showed a lonely look in her eyes.

Such a look. It shouldn't have appeared in a person as high as Concubine An.

After Xia Ruan returned to the Chongyue Pavilion, Duran prepared hot water and asked Xia Ruan to wash his hot face.

After waiting for a while, Du Ruo lit up the palace lamp in the room a little, and then slowly walked back to Xia Ruan's side: "Madam, today the imperial doctor will ask the slave maid to give you a word, and the imperial doctor will say that the great favor is not grateful." ”

"But I took the bill." Xia Ruan took the bird's nest handed over by Duran, and was a little puzzled, "Did the Imperial Doctor say anything else?" ”

Du Ruo nodded: "Yes, I accepted it." The others didn't say anything. It's just that when he said that he was empty, he would come to the Chang'an Marquis Mansion to greet his wife. It's just that Madame, although the imperial doctor has excellent medical skills, he is a imperial doctor after all, and he has no emperor's will. It is categorically impossible to support outsiders. Madam...... Why should you waste it on him? ”

Xia Ruan lowered his eyes and looked at the bird's nest in his hand. Then I took a bite slowly. She felt that the taste of bird's nest was a little strange, so she spit it out again.

Seeing Xia Ruan like this, Du Lan hurriedly took the bird's nest from Xia Ruan's hand: "Madam." Is this bird's nest wrong? The slave and maid watched for themselves, and no one laid anything in it. ”

Xia Ruan shook his head, just turned sideways and looked at Du Ruo: "The Imperial Doctor is a person from Luocheng, but if there is really a person with such good medical skills in Luocheng, why doesn't General Song Xiao stay by his side?" The Song family is a family of generals, and they have to run around on the battlefield all year round, and if there is such a famous doctor by their side, then their lives are also guaranteed. So, I've been thinking about ...... The origin of this general physician may not be so simple. But it doesn't matter what it is, the four princes helped the Hou Ye welcome their relatives, and now I can be regarded as repaying a favor. ”

The five thousand taels of silver she gave to the imperial physician will definitely be spent on Concubine Xun.

How many eunuchs there are, and the concubines and the four princes know better than anyone else.

In this world, it has always been easy to add icing on the cake, but it is difficult to send charcoal in the snow.

After Concubine Xun and the four princes found out, they would definitely remember these kindnesses in the future.

Xia Ruan knew that when she died in her previous life, the concubine of the fourth prince who had just ascended the throne was poisoned and murdered. The suspicion of the fourth prince is getting worse and worse, even if it is Xiao Jiu, life is not so satisfactory.

The fourth prince always felt that there were people around him who wanted to harm him.

In this life, if she wants to spend her old age peacefully with Xiao Jiu, some things still have to start from now.

Concubine Xun felt sorry for the four princes, and she was willing to live a humiliating life to survive. However, the fourth prince also felt sorry for Concubine Turbidity, otherwise he would not have knelt down for Concubine Turbidity to the eldest prince in the first place.

The fourth prince is a high-minded and arrogant man.

As long as Concubine Xun is saved, the suspicion of the four princes may be smaller......

She didn't know how to talk to Du Ruo and Du Lan about these things, so she casually perfunctory.

Fortunately, Du Ruo and Du Lan are not troubled people, and they know what to ask and what not to ask, so they don't bring up the topic just now.

Duran gave Xia Ruan a cup of Pu'er, Xia Ruan's favorite drink, and took some pastries from Concubine An.

But Xia Ruan still has no appetite, he always feels that his body is very weak, and he has no appetite when he sees this.

"Madame, you can use some of it." Du Ruo frowned and looked at Xia Ruan's expression, "The food in this palace is not to your liking, but you have to think about your body." ”

Xia Ruan didn't know when he hated things that were too greasy, and he always felt disgusting.

Looking at Du Ruo and Du Lan's worried looks, she smiled helplessly: "I'll use it later, I'll sit down for a while." ”

Today, many people thought that Xia Ruan was staying in the house, but they didn't think that Xia Ruan had already gone out and met Ning Guiren.

Du Ruo and Du Lan knew a little bit, but they didn't break it at this time.

After all, sometimes people have to pretend to be dumb.

But at this time, Mama Zhu's voice came from outside: "Mrs. Chang'anhou, are you resting?" Concubine An Gui Niangniang has come to see you. (To be continued......)

PS: Thanks to L.HAO for the two peach blossom fans.

I'm really heartbroken,

I wrote 910,000 words, and for the first time, I received a 3-point evaluation vote.

All of a sudden, the whole person was stupid, and the glass heart shattered to the ground.

I originally thought that the double and third watches I worked hard for, and the relatives would see my efforts.

Outcome......

Who's going to comfort my glass heart?

T.T

Since writing this book, I haven't gone out for a walk after work.

Going to work, coding words, and sleeping have become a daily routine.

(Forgive me for complaining about my glass heart today, I'm really depressed)
