"The slave obeys." One of the palace maids entered the house in response, and after a while, Aunt Yan, who was also wearing a veil, walked out and said, "Say hello to Song Guiren and Zheng Meiren." ”

"Let's be flat." Song Guiren instructed, "How is my sister today?" Is it getting better? ”

"Niangniang is still feverish, and her spirit is not very good." Aunt Yan frowned and said, "Since the last time I came back from the Qianning Palace, Niangniang has been sick, although there are not many sober hours, but I also know that nobles and beauties come to ask for peace every day, and I specially asked the slave maid to bring words, saying that the two Niangniang were bothered, and when the Niangniang was refreshed, she would definitely go to thank her in person." “

"They are all sisters, how can they be so polite." Song Guiren smiled, glanced at the row of guards in the palace again, and changed his words, "It's just that this has been going on for several days, and the imperial doctor hasn't diagnosed what the disease is. Unexpectedly, even the emperor was alarmed this time and sent so many people to guard it. “

Aunt Yan thought for a while and said, "The slave maid thinks that the emperor is also worried that this time the mother is suffering from the epidemic, so just in case, he sent these people to keep an eye on it." Now the entry and exit of the entire Chonghua Palace is closely watched, so Niangniang does not have to worry about the disease spreading to other places. “

"Regardless of whether it's an epidemic or not, this palace now just hopes that my sister will get better soon." Song Guiren sighed, his face was full of worry, if someone who didn't know saw her expression, he would definitely sigh a deep sisterhood.

"Thank you for your concern, the slave will convey it to the mother." Aunt Yan bowed her head and said.

"Tell my sister to take care of it, and this palace will come to greet me tomorrow." Song Guiren said, and before Aunt Yan finished her salute, she turned around and left Chonghua Palace with Zheng Meiren.

Yu Ruoxu hid behind the pillar and did not move, but she was a little uneasy in her heart. There are at least more than ten people guarding the gate of Chonghua Palace, lined up in a mighty row, surrounding the palace gate. She was a little puzzled, Liang Jieyu was sick in bed, naturally she didn't have the strength to move around, and the little emperor still sent so many people to guard here, this posture was not like being afraid of the epidemic, but like watching prisoners.

She saw the figures of Song Guiren and Zheng Meiren disappearing into the flowers, so she straightened up, straightened her skirt, and walked to the palace gate, before she could speak, a tall palace maid immediately stopped her, "Who are you?" What is the matter with coming to Chonghua Palace? ”

Yu Ruoxu took out the jade pendant, "I am the second lady of Taifu Yu Zhongjun's family, and the prince heard that his mother was sick, so he asked me to visit in the palace." ”

The palace maid picked up the jade pendant and looked at it, and then stuffed it back into her hand, "The emperor has decreed that Jieyu Niangniang is afraid of contracting the epidemic, and she will not see outsiders." ”

"Then can you bother to summon Aunt Yan, who is serving by Niangniang's side, and say that the second lady of the Yu family is entrusted by the prince of the world, and she has a few words that she wants to bring to Niangniang."

"If Miss Yu has anything to say, just tell the slave directly. The slave will convey it for the young lady. The palace maid's tone was a little tough. Yu Ruo slandered, when she faced Song Guiren just now, she didn't have this attitude.

"This ......" Before Yu Ruoxu finished speaking, the palace maid spoke, "Isn't there something unspeakable about Miss?" “

Yu Ruoxu raised her eyes, and saw that there was a slight scrutiny in her eyes, and she felt that something was wrong, so she raised her voice a little and said, "That's not true." is to ask the mother to take care of her body, especially heart disease, and learn to solve it yourself. ”

"The slave has written it down." The palace maid nodded and said, "It's cold, if Miss has nothing else to do, please go back." ”

Yu Ruoxu glanced at her coldly, turned around and walked down the steps.

I didn't expect the maids around the little emperor to be so domineering, and there was nothing wrong with looking at the etiquette on the surface, but she didn't take her seriously at all, and when she heard that she was going to send a message to Liang Jieyu, she had a wary look, as if she was guarding against her or something.

She looked up at the dark clouds in the sky and sighed.

In this palace, it is really the status and rank that are the most useful.

When passing by the Imperial Garden, Yu Ruoxu noticed that all the lotus flowers in the pond had been pulled out, and a thin layer of ice had formed on the water surface, faintly revealing a little cyan. The sporadic snowflakes falling on it added to the gloomy feeling.

"Ouch." Not far away, there was a faint female voice, as if someone had fallen. Yu Ruoxu turned around and saw a little palace maid in inferior palace clothes kneeling on the edge of the pool, rubbing her ankles and crying. There was also an overturned wooden barrel at his feet, and the warm water was sprinkled on the ground, and there was a slight white mist.

Yu Ruoxu suddenly couldn't bear it, and hurriedly walked over, "Are you okay?" ”

"The slave maid has a broken foot, it hurts." The little palace maid rubbed her eyes and looked up at her, "Are you ......"

"I see that you didn't fall lightly, so let's get up first." Yu Ruoxu reached out and grabbed her shoulder, trying to help her up. The little palace maid hurriedly waved her hand, "I can't stand up like this, can you take my hand?" ”

Yu Ruoxu was stunned for a moment, and stretched out her left hand to grab her, "Is this so?" ”

"Uh-huh, thank you!" The little palace maid made a slight effort, and stood up by herself with the strength of her left hand, but she still limped, "It's that I'm too stupid to even hold a basin of water......"

"You damn girl, why are you still lazy here?!" A sharp voice came, and the little palace maid trembled, only to see an aunt who looked like a first-class palace maid walking from the direction of Chonghua Palace, "I asked you to make a basin of hot water, you haven't come back for so long, I think you owe it, right?!" “

"Slaves don't dare! The slave and maid were not lazy, but the ground was too slippery, and the slave and maid accidentally fell and broke her foot! The little palace maid hurriedly let go of Yu Ruoxu's hand and explained to the aunt urgently.

Yu Ruoxu came back to her senses, "It turned out to be Aunt Yuan beside Jieyu." “

Aunt Yuan naturally recognized Yu Ruoxu, "Why is Miss Yu here today?" It's really unfortunate, our Jieyu Niangniang happened to be sick, the doctor said that it might be an epidemic, so he didn't dare to let the young lady go in to visit, if it wasn't for the slave maid to see that this girl always didn't come back, I thought I had to come out to see it in person, otherwise I wouldn't be able to get out of the palace gate! ”

Yu Ruoxu only felt that her heart was beating like a drum, but her face was still faint, "How is Jieyu Niangniang's body now?" ”

It seems that the people in Chonghua Palace just now should have heard the words she said in a raised voice.

"Niangniang has been hot, and her spirit is not very good, and her whole person is miserable, and her appetite is not very good." Aunt Yuan's face was a little anxious, and she didn't want to say more, but she just smiled and said, "Niangniang is still waiting for the slave and maid to go back to serve, please forgive the slave and maid for not staying here for a long time." ”

"Then I won't delay my aunt." Yu Ruoxu nodded, and the left hand hidden in the cloak was clenched into a fist, "This little girl has broken her foot, and I hope my aunt won't be too harsh." ”

"The slave obeys." Aunt Yuan agreed, and reached out and dragged the little palace maid, "Why don't you leave quickly?" ”

The little palace maid picked up the wooden barrel and didn't look at her again, just limped behind Aunt Yuan and walked towards Chonghua Palace.

Yu Ruoxu stood in the snow, the note in her left hand like a flame, burning her heart.

On the way back to Yu's Mansion, Yu Ruoxu kept silent with a stiff face. Xiu'er sighed on the side, and said that every time she entered the palace, it would be no good thing. Yu Ruoxu's left hand was already a little hot, and countless thoughts had already turned in her mind, this little palace maid looked like Liang Jieyu's person, could it be that Liang Jieyu wanted to tell her something?

Recalling the row of palace people guarding outside the gate of Chonghua Palace, Yu Ruoxu frowned slightly, what happened to Liang Jieyu? And what kind of secret needs to be passed on to her in such a way?

When the carriage arrived at Yu's mansion, Yu Ruoxu hurriedly returned to the room, and didn't even have time to change her clothes, but just told Xiu'er not to disturb anyone, so she closed the door, lit the light, and opened the note in her hand, which was already a little wrinkled.

The note was small and tinged yellow, as if it had been torn out of some booklet. There are only two words on it, and they are hurriedly written in vermilion rouge.

Be careful.

There is another dot behind these two words, like the beginning of the third word, but before I could finish writing, I was forced to stop.

Yu Ruoxu felt a little frightened, what was Liang Jieyu talking about? Who is being careful?

Thousands of thoughts suddenly welled up in her heart, she picked up the yellowed note, and looked at the light carefully several times, but felt that the touch of the paper was very special, and the general rice paper was not the same, rouge is the best palace balsam, all palace mothers are using, there is nothing strange.

She couldn't help but twist the corner of the paper strip with her hand, the paper was slightly thicker, a little hard to the touch, and there were some uneven print marks where her fingertips touched. She felt that the traces on the paper were inexplicably familiar, as if she had seen them somewhere, but she could not remember them.

What does Liang Jieyu want to sue her?

Yu Ruoxu really couldn't figure it out, and after a while, she carefully clipped the note into the book and put it at the bottom of the bookshelf. But my heart is depressed, and I always feel that something big will happen.

"Miss, the master is back." Xiu'er's voice came, "The master said to let Miss go directly to the study, is it convenient for you to go over now?" “

"I'll be fine right away." Yu Ruoxu responded, and suddenly remembered the gold mine account book sent by the housekeeper this morning, and thought about showing it to Yu Zhongjun together. She turned around and lifted the blanket on the floor, opened the hidden compartment, reached for the account book inside, and looked at a small box next to the account book.

As if she remembered something, she hurriedly took out the small box, and when she opened the lid, even her fingers trembled slightly.

The box contained the inscription that Liang Jin had given her before.

After visiting Zhou Yuanzhao's mansion that day, Liang Jin sent someone to send the inscription of the eldest princess of Anyang collected by the Lin family to her.

She once held a flower note with Yu Ruoqing's whereabouts in one hand and Lin's tablet in the other, and compared it carefully countless times. So much so that later, not only the pen and ink handwriting on the flower notes and tablets, but also the texture and texture of the paper, she could feel it clearly.

Yu Ruoxu picked up a tablet and gently rubbed it with her fingertips a few times, and her heart was a little more determined.

The uneven print marks are exactly the same as the note.

The paper used in this tablet is the calligraphy paper customized by the Dingyuan Marquis' Mansion, which is exclusively for the use of the people in the Hou's Mansion. Yu Ruoxu also joked with Yu Zhongjun because of the matter of the tablet paper, saying that he had only heard of the royal royal items in the world, but he didn't expect that the Marquis of Dingyuan also had this kind of special treatment from the Hou Mansion.

At that time, Yu Zhongjun smiled bitterly and said, "The Dingyuan Marquis Mansion has been like this for so many years, and you don't know it." ”

It stands to reason that Liang Jieyu is in the deep palace, and the paper used should be made by the emperor. Besides, this note is already a little yellow, and it looks a little old, so it shouldn't be Liang Jieyu's usual thing.

Hou Mansion special paper, careful, vermilion rouge......

"Miss?" Xiu'er saw that she hadn't come out, so she whispered, "Is Miss okay?" ”

Yu Ruoxu came back to her senses, "I'm looking for something, come out immediately!" “

She shook her head, she was really unpredictable in her heart, so she simply stuffed the stele into the box first, picked up the gold mine account book on the side, and prepared to discuss with Yu Zhongjun.

As soon as she picked up the account book, she felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly flipped through all the account books piled up in the dark compartment, and her heart was horrified.

One of the books is missing!
