Xiao Huaishuo failed to carry Xu Si.

When the maid brought the tonic soup in, Ruyi asked again, and Xiao Huaishuo had already left.

Xu Si also ignored it, but Ruyi could see it somewhat, and Xu Si was faintly relieved. She was so angry that Ruyi didn't dare to ask her why she was angry. He only talked about some side things to be funny, and served her to drink the tonics.

Ruyi planned to stay and serve the sick, and was looking for a gap to tell Ji Xue about the affairs of the lower mansion and Zhuang Qiniang, Xu Si suddenly said, "Your mansion is complicated, go back first and arrange it before you come over." After thinking about it, he added, "I guess you came in a hurry, I'm afraid you left a lot of things behind." I just happened to take a break, too. ”

Ruyi didn't know what to say, so he said, "...... Then I'll go back as soon as I go, and you must remember to leave the door for me. ”

Xu Si was amused by her and said, "Then you have to come back earlier." ”

After Ruyi left, Xu Sicai called someone in and said, "Let the emperor come and see me." ”

Ruyi came out of Xu Sidian and had a lot of worries all the way.

After passing through a palace gate, the carriage suddenly stopped. There was a sound of negotiation outside, and after a while, the guard stepped forward and said, "It's the messenger of the Son of Heaven - the Son of Heaven asks you to stay and speak." ”

Sooner or later, we have to face it.

Ruyi silently got out of the carriage and ordered the messenger to lead the way.

Bypassing a verandah, there is a quiet courtyard with towering ancient trees and mossy mountains. Xiao Huaishuo waited on the pavilion in the courtyard. Ruyi stepped on the stone steps to go around the pavilion, and she felt the cold water vapor coming to her face, and she couldn't help but gather her clothes.

This is a place to escape the heat in the middle of summer, and in the late autumn when the white dew and frost are condensed, it only makes people feel lonely and unpleasant. Thinking that Xiao Huaishuo came out of Xu Si, he had been waiting here, and his clothes were already a little wet and heavy. He didn't seem to feel the cold, and when he turned around when he heard the sound, he saw Ruyi's face haggard, and there was a moment of fluctuation in his eyes. First, he said, "Let's go down." ”

Not all truths lend themselves to exposure to the sun.

Once some things are punctured, it is no longer possible to get along as closely as they used to be.

The two of them came out of the pavilion, and they didn't know how to speak for a while—at least Ruyi didn't know what identity to face Xiao Huaishuo.

From the bottom of her heart, this person is her younger brother, and she probably won't be able to change this perception for the rest of her life. But since he single-handedly pushed her to find out the truth...... I'm afraid that he is reluctant to be her younger brother.

Xiao Huaishuo spoke first, "Is A-Niang okay?" ”

Ruyi said, "It's okay." I've taken the medicine and I'm off. At the mention of Xu Si, the awkward and alienated atmosphere between the two sisters and brothers was unconsciously eased, and Ruyi asked again, "What did you do to make A-Niang so angry?" ”

Xiao Huaishuo seemed surprised why she asked this, and seemed to have expected it. He smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "...... A-Niang is really eccentric. ”

Ruyi didn't understand why he sighed like this, so Xiao Huaishuo looked directly into her eyes again and said, "It's for your life experience, A-Niang already knows everything." ”

Ruyi looked at him, and at that moment she had countless words to question Xiao Huaishuo, but she didn't know where to start, only thousands of thoughts were entangled in her heart, and tears rolled down her eyes in a daze. Later, he was finally able to speak, but only with an unfair obsession in his heart," ...... Why do you want to sue sù A-Niang, don't you understand......"

When she suddenly learned the truth, she also had a moment of resentment for why Xiao Huaishuo didn't bury the truth completely, instead of leading her to find out - but it was just a moment of weakness and wavering. She knew that Xiao Huaishuo had done nothing wrong. This is something she must face and make for herself, and no one should bear or avoid this pain for her. From the time she decided to find Zhuang Qiniang's child, she had chosen this result in the dark.

But Xu Si is different. The child was dead, at the hands of the man she had loved, and she had been with him for more than ten years. All she could get from this was endless pain and remorse. Ruyi's encounter is not as good as her in case, and she has suffered so much. What about Xu Si?

She didn't understand, she couldn't figure out why Xiao Huaishuo wanted Xu Si to know.

Xiao Huaishuo said, "I'm going to ask you." ”

"Me?"

Xiao Huaishuo said, "Who should know about these things, and who shouldn't know about them, don't you have a bottom in your heart?" If you don't want A-Niang to know so much, you shouldn't have used the people that A-Niang gave you to check from the beginning. ”

Ruyi understood his accusation almost immediately. She was in a trance for a moment, and then she thought, it turned out that this was the case, and it turned out that it was also her fault. Both Zhuang Qiniang and Xu Si suffered for her negligence. She always cares about one thing and the other, why can't she be calmer and handle things more thoroughly and more leaky.

She was speechless, just turned around and wanted to go back to Xu Si's side—she was still wondering why Xu Si wanted to take her back, it turned out to be like this.

She knew everything, but when Ruyi decided to hide it from her, she pretended to know nothing.

Ruyi thought that no one could help her bear the pain, but it turned out that Xu Si had already shared it for her - it was the one who should have suffered the most, and he shared it for her quietly.

Xiao Huaishuo probably knew that what he said was serious, and when he saw where Ruyi was standing in a daze, he said again, "A few days ago, you were in a state of disarray, and A-Niang knew that you were tracking down something, so she sent someone to ask ......."

Ruyi turned around and was about to leave, Xiao Huaishuo hurriedly raised his hand and grabbed her arm, "Where are you going?" ”

Ruyi said, "Go back to A-Niang." She thought, at least go back to accompany Xu Si to finish copying the Buddhist scriptures.

Xiao Huaishuo thought for a while, and his voice slowed slightly, "What are you going to do now?" After a while, wait for A-Niang to come back and then talk to her slowly. ”

Ruyi finally stopped, she forced herself to calm down, and explained to Xiao Huaishuo as carefully as possible, "I won't say anything, don't say anything either, this matter will be ...... first."

Xiao Huaishuo's gaze cooled a little with her words, and he seemed to be mocking, "...... Pretend it didn't happen? ”

Ruyi only nodded calmly and said, "Yes." ”

Xiao Huaishuo said, "You don't plan to let A-Niang know that you already know?" ”

Ruyi didn't answer, Xiao Huaishuo laughed first. Although he was smiling, the black eyes under the long eyelashes were full of disappointment and mockery, "Do you have to whitewash the peace so tortuously?" ”

Ruyi said, "...... It's not the same to say it and not to say it. ”

Xiao Huaishuo said, "Yes......" For a moment, there seemed to be loneliness and sadness flowing through his eyes. But before Ruyi could catch it, he lowered his eyes and said, "I understand." He then advised, "You accompany A-Niang well, don't go back to Changganli these days." ”

Ruyi nodded, but he still didn't let go of Ruyi's arm.

Young and old, knowing and not knowing, the perception of physical contact is different.

Ruyi pushed his wrist, and his arm trembled subconsciously. Ruyi was stunned for a moment and said, "Your wrist ......"

Xiao Huaishuo stroked his cuffs to cover them, and his eyes couldn't help but be covered with a layer of water, and only after a moment did he say, "...... A-Niang was in a hurry and hit the inkstone. I didn't dare to hide. And he said, "...... Now that you have examined that tooth, you should know why A-Niang is angry. ”

If you understand, you don't ask any more. He bowed his head and bowed, then turned away in silence.

Out of the Spring Grass Pavilion, Ji Xue was waiting outside. Seeing Ruyi come out in despair, he didn't dare to ask anything, so he just followed her silently.

After standing under the sun for a while, Ruyi came back to his senses, and entrusted the matter in the rudder and Zhuang Qiniang to Ji Xue, saying that he would not go back for a few days.

The snow should fall one by one. Then he swept his eyes and saw that there was no one nearby, so he said again, "There is already news of the fifth let." ”

Ruyi didn't care much anymore, and only asked flatly, "Where?" ”

Ji Xue said, "This is not clear - but the person was arrested by the East Palace." ”

Ruyi was stunned for a moment, thinking, this result is not very surprising...... After all, the five generations of light went to the princess's mansion, and since Xiao Huaishuo knew, he naturally wouldn't let him mess around outside. And since Xiao Huaishuo has arrested someone, he should already know who instigated him to make trouble at this moment.

At this point, it's time for this matter to come to an end.

On the way back to the north hall, she did not take the carriage again. It's a person who walks back slowly.

When he returned to Xu Si's hall, Xiao Huaishuo was already listening to Xu Si's training.

He didn't say anything.

Xu Siyi didn't leave him for dinner, but suddenly mentioned his marriage and said, "Although I am not in a hurry, but the courtiers are urging him very much, so I might as well consider the candidates first." ”

Xiao Huaishuo glanced up at Ruyi, and then lowered his eyes again. After a moment of audible silence, he said, "But it's up to A-Niang to decide." ”
