When it was time to freshen up at night, Yu Ruoxu felt that Xiu'er's movements were much gentler than before, so she joked, "What's wrong?" Are you afraid that you will break me? “

Xiu'er's eyes were a little red, and she held her hand, "The slave maid heard that the young lady was injured, and she was so scared that half of her life was about to die...... With such a deep scar, there must have been a lot of blood at the time, right? ”

Yu Ruoxu looked down at the scars on his hands, suddenly recalled the snowy night of the assassin's assassination, and said vaguely, "It's all in the past." “

"Where is the past?" Xiu'er muttered, "Miss doesn't know how many injuries she has suffered for the princess, last time the lady hurt her shoulder, this time she hurt her hand, look at the slave, the prince is the nemesis of Miss's life, you should stay away from the prince in the future!" “

"Xiu'er." Yu Ruoxu said in a deep voice, "What did I tell you before?" ”

Xiu'er was frightened by her sudden sharp tone, and muttered, "Don't talk about others casually." ”

"You know how dare you say these things to my face?"

"The slave doesn't dare." Xiu'er hurriedly admitted her mistake and stood in front of her with her head down, looking pitiful.

"Since I was a child, how many times have you told me that you don't dare?" Yu Ruoxu sighed, "The prince is not an outsider, I have a great relationship with him, and the injury is only an accidental thing, what is not restrained, it is all nonsense." ”

Xiu'er hung her head, "The slave understands." Then he whispered something, Yu Ruoxuzhi couldn't help frowning when he heard the word "protect the short", "What are you talking about?" ”

"Nope!" Xiu'er hurriedly shook her head, and then asked, "Miss, there is one more thing that the slave maid wants to ask...... Why didn't Pei Changyuan come back with you? ”

"Did you send him to do something else?"

Yu Ruoxu's body suddenly froze, and she couldn't speak for a long time.

Seeing that she was silent, Xiu'er suddenly had an ominous premonition, "Miss......"

He ...... Stay on the prairie and never come back. Yu Ruoxu's eyes showed a sad look. The head hanging on the flagpole, the grave pile on the grassland, and the small grave bag, if it weren't for these marks, she thought that a qiē in Liaodong was just a dream.

When she woke up from a dream, she was still a pampered young lady of the Yu family, and she depended on her father in the capital.

Xiu'er covered her mouth, "Miss, how could you ......?"

"He risked his life to save me, but he didn't expect to be caught by the Xianbei people." Yu Ruoxu explained simply, "At the beginning, because of Senior Brother Zirong's matter, the Pei family was implicated and their house was raided in vain, and now in order to save me, he has even lost his life......"

It's all guilt when I think about it.

"Don't think too much about it, Miss." Xiu'er comforted, "The slave maid thinks that if he is given another chance to choose, he will also go out of his way to save Miss." “

Yu Ruoxu closed his eyes and muttered, "You don't know how painful he was before he died." “

"What?"

"It's fine." Yu Ruoxu reluctantly pulled out a smile, "I'm a little tired, help me put out the lights." ”

The next day, Yu Ruoxu got up early to wash, then got into the carriage and went to Miyagi leisurely.

Re-embarking on the familiar road, she suddenly felt like a world away. The last time I came here, it was because I heard that Liang Jieyu was suffering from the epidemic, so I hurriedly rushed to Chonghua Palace with Liang Jin's jade pendant. In the dark, this seems to be the beginning of a qiē.

In a daze, Shouning Palace appeared in front of him.

Yu Ruoxu followed behind Aunt Huang step by step, and before she entered the door, she heard a familiar sweet laugh, "Since the Hou Ye and the prince are here, the concubine will not disturb the reunion of my sister and family." ”

"Where is that?" Liang Jieyu's voice came, "The queen mother and father seem to have important matters to discuss, and the concubines are inconvenient to disturb, so they are now retiring." ”

"Who said you were allowed to go?"

Yu Ruoxu sighed in her heart, the little emperor was actually there?

"Today, the queen mother invited the Marquis of Dingyuan and the prince to come over, just to celebrate the victory in Liaodong alone." The little emperor's faint voice floated in, "I haven't seen the prince for a long time, and I want to listen to you carefully about what interesting things in Liaodong." ”

Yu Ruoxu's brows furrowed, Liang Jin and Yang Zhen led the border soldiers to fight to the death, which was actually an "interesting thing" in the eyes of the little emperor? !

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Liang Jin paused, and there was a faint anger and disappointment in his tone, "The war continues, and the people and soldiers on the border are deeply affected, and there is really nothing interesting to tell the emperor." ”

The little emperor seemed to be interested, "I heard that the Xianbei man is tall and fierce, with dark blue eyes and a face like a yaksha, are these all true?" ”

"Tall stature, dark blue eyes are due to blood, Xianbei people are naturally brave and aggressive, now Tuoba Gui is only temporarily retreating to the grassland, if you don't strengthen the border defense and increase the cavalry force, I'm afraid it will ...... later."

"It's boring." The little emperor lazily interrupted Liang Jin's words, "Didn't you say these things before?" ”

"But the emperor ......"

"Shizi." Marquis Dingyuan, who had been silent, suddenly opened his mouth, "Today is a private banquet, let alone talk about these things in the court." ”

Liang Jin pursed his lips and reluctantly retracted his words.

"Queen Mother, Your Majesty, Miss Yu is here." Aunt Huang lifted the curtain and went in, Yu Ruoxu bowed her head and made a big salute respectfully, "Please say hello to the Queen Mother, the Emperor, Jieyu, the nobles and the Hou Ye." ”

"Calm down." The Queen Mother smiled faintly, "Your body is just right, so don't pay attention to these false courtesies." “

"Empress Dowager Xie." Yu Ruoxu stood up, and according to the rules, she made a half-salute to Liang Jin, "The folk girl has seen the prince." “

"Don't be polite." Liang Jin said.

"It's been a long time since I've seen Miss Yu." The Queen Mother's voice was still as calm as water, but she didn't know how many calculations were hidden inside, "Miss Yu doesn't look very good, is the wind cold a lot?" “

"Thank you for your compassion." Yu Ruoxu replied, "It's much better." ”

"That's good." The Queen Mother smiled, "A few days ago, the princess came to the palace to talk for a while, saying that Yu Aiqing was worried about your illness, and she was very worried all day long, and she didn't want to eat, but now that she finally saw it, Yu Aiqing and the princess were also relieved." ”

"The unfilial piety of the people's daughters worries the father and the princess." Yu Ruoxu felt strange in her heart, so dignified, what did she do when she mentioned her family's affairs?

She didn't believe that the Queen Mother didn't know anything about her going to Liaodong, and now she was just pretending to be confused.

"Miss Yu, I'm afraid she's not sick." The little emperor suddenly spoke, his voice was full of meanness, "How did I hear that Miss Yu went to Liaodong and became a prisoner of the Xianbei people?" “

Yu Ruoxu raised her head, the little emperor had a sneering expression, and the queen mother's expression did not fluctuate at all.

She couldn't help but chuckle, this mother and son, one sang with a red face and the other with a white face, and when they pressed her, their steps were surprisingly consistent.
