Yingluo and another maid, Qiong Yao, waited outside the door waiting for the summons, and suddenly heard a clanging sound in the house, as if the sky was falling apart, Qiong Yao was startled and wanted to turn around and push the door to see what was going on, but Yingluo saw the opportunity very quickly, grabbed Qiong Yao's arm, held down her half-open mouth, and shook her head urgently.

Seeing this, Qiong Yao pressed the inquiry that was about to exit into her throat, Yingluo pulled her back two steps to avoid touching the door beam and making a noise, and turned around and lowered her eyes as if she had never heard half of the sound in the door.

Qiong Yao didn't understand Yingluo's meaning, but Yingluo was a close servant to Helan Fu, her every move must have a reason, Qiong Yao is not a girl with a hanging bun, and she also knows that many things are not her own, so she has to accept her full of doubts, and continue to guard on both sides of the porch with Yingluo.

It took a long time for the loud noise in the room to stop, and Yingluo breathed a sigh of relief in her chest, but she didn't wait for this breath to spit out her lips, but the sound of Helan Fu's laughter suddenly came from the room that was silent for a while.

This time, even Yingluo was full of surprise. Who in this Nantang harem doesn't know that the Lan Jieyu she serves rarely has a smile, and it is three points more difficult to see her smile than the Bodhisattva Buddha in the Buddha hall and temple, let alone laugh so rudely. Now that she can hear the laughter in the room, Yingluo's heart is cold from the cavity to the outside of her body, and she only feels a chill around her body.

The two maids looked at each other, Qiong Yao stayed in again for fear of an accident, and was grabbed by Yingluo in front of the door. Yingluo thought for a moment and gestured to her to go around and look around to don't let unrelated people approach, while she put her ear to the crack in the door and listened carefully to the movement in the room.

Yingluo was assigned to serve by Helan Fu after she entered the palace, although she was not very close to Helan Fu, but compared to other maids, she always knew more about Helan Fu. It is not the first time that the house has been smashed, especially after His Majesty went to bed, Helan Fu never let people serve him, and occasionally made a fuss like this after driving people out of the door. The first time I heard the strange voice, Yingluo was also frightened, but fortunately, at that time, Helan Fu's position was still low, and there were not many maids who served closely, Yingluo cleaned up after the incident, and her mouth was closed tightly like an old clam Hanzhu, and this matter never leaked out. After many times, Yingluo was also accustomed to it, and Helan Fu later reined in a lot and never lost her temper again, Yingluo also said that she gradually saw it, and never thought that today's old state would become even worse.

The laughter gradually stopped, but Yingluo didn't dare to slack off, and her ears were even tighter, for fear of missing something that shouldn't happen. Fortunately, there was no sound of heavy objects falling to the ground in the house, and Yingluo recited Amitabha Buddha in her heart, hoping that Helan Fu would open the door as soon as possible, so that her intestines, liver, stomach and lungs could return to their original positions with confidence.

It was probably the Buddha who really heard Yingluo's prayer today, and the wooden door where Yingluo's ears were attached suddenly opened inward. Suddenly, Yingluo almost rolled into the door when she was unstable, and it was easy to hold on to the strap before she stood firmly, and when she looked up, she saw Helan Fu standing in the door, looking at her coldly.

Hearing that the root of the wall was caught, Yingluo hurriedly took a few steps back and knelt on the ground with Qiong Yao, the two of them trembled, not daring to say anything more.

After waiting for a long time, the voice like a smoothie sounded coldly: "I went to serve the disease for a few days, has Concubine Jing ever come?" ”

Hearing the question, Qiong Yao dared to raise her head on the stone slab a little, and replied respectfully: "Back to Niangniang, Concubine Jing has never come." ”

"No one in her palace has ever been there?"

"Concubine Jing has not sent anyone here recently."

Yingluo and Qiong Yao seemed to hear a sneer in a trance, and after a while, Fang heard Helan Fu say: "Prepare the car and go to Linghuan Palace." ”

Yingluo heard the order to go to Linghuan Palace, and immediately knew that Helan Fu had no intention of punishing, so she dared to stand up. Qiong Yao also stood up, bowed back and stepped back to order the car to be prepared, but after walking for less than two steps, she heard Helan Fu call her name.

Qiong Yaofu knelt down again, uneasy in her heart, she didn't want He Lanfu to walk past her, but said coldly: "I'll go get some medicine later, don't let me leave a scar on my face." ”

Qiong Yao was stunned, her fingers stroked her forehead, she was afraid that He Lanfu would know that she heard the abnormal movement, and she would be severely punished. It's just that before she could say thank you, Helan Fu had already traveled far with Yingluo.

Not long after Helan Fu came back, the saddle horse of the chariot had not yet been unloaded, so he waited for Helan Fu to walk to the palace gate, and the chariot was already ready and waiting.

Helan Fu went straight to Li Siqi, who had fallen into a coma and collapsed on the ground, and was helped by Yingluo to get into the car.

Yingluo had a chance to peek at it, Helan Fu bathed and changed clothes, the makeup on his face had been washed, revealing his original bewitching face, his expression was cold and indifferent, no different from usual, how could there be half a trace of laughter and anger? It's just that for some reason, Yingluo felt that Helan Fu's expression at the moment was a little colder than usual, and it was indescribably cold and frightening.

Without saying anything all the way, the car drove to Linghuan Palace, Helan Fu asked the rest of the people to wait outside the door, and only let Yingluo accompany him.

Today's Linghuan Palace is not as good as in the past, it is really a lot of things. There is no one in front of the door, the copper door is half open and half hidden, and the crown of an acacia tree against the wall is thick and half spread outside the wall, and the autumn leaves fall with the wind, and the corners of the wall are covered with fragments, and the indescribable loneliness is desolate.

Helan Fu looked at the fallen leaves, his eyebrows were slightly furrowed and unfolded, and he led Yingluo straight into the courtyard. Halfway through, I saw a yellow door, two maids shrunk under a porch and laughed, the three of them obviously didn't notice Helan Fu's arrival, they were talking and laughing with their hands fanning the wind, and the tray was dusty on the edge of the porch, and their eyebrows were full of scorn and laziness.

Helan Fu snorted coldly and walked to the porch, and the three of them heard the sound and turned their heads to the side, and then saw Helan Fu, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and saluted, with a panicked face. Helan Fu didn't pay attention to the three of them, walked through the porch, turned left and right, walked for a while to a delicate building, and finally saw Xia Ruoqing's personal maid Lian Rong sitting in the garden in front of the building in a daze.

The corners of Helan Fu's lips were pursed, the chill on his face was even worse, and he said in a deep voice: "You don't serve your master with you, and you also learn from those minions to hide from the air, right?" ”

Rong Rong was stunned for a moment, and when he came back to his senses and saw that it was He Lanfu, he hurriedly saluted and replied, "Lan Jieyu'an." It was the mother who wanted to take a break, and she was afraid that the slave maid was making trouble with her, and she didn't let the slave and maid wait on the side. The slave waited outside the door for the summons. ”

"Nonsense, you are far away in this small garden, if Qingqing calls you, how can you hear it!"

"Back to Lan Jieyu, the slave and maid really don't dare to talk nonsense, it is indeed the mother who ordered the slave and maid to stay in this garden. Niangniang has been sleeping on a pillow these days, and she will wake up at the slightest sound, so that no one is allowed to come close to her bedroom within ten feet when Niangniang is sleeping. ”

Helan Fu squinted at her face for a long time before waving her hand to get her up and asked, "Since when?" ”

"It's been more than twenty years, and the people from the imperial hospital didn't see the reason, just let the mother rest and recuperate."

"Hmm." Helan Fu was noncommittal, looked at Xiaolou and said, "How long has Qingqing been sleeping?" I'm going to see her. ”

As soon as Helan Fu took a step, Bang Rong stopped in front of her, bowed down and said in a panic: "Lan Jieyu, Niangniang told her not to make trouble when she was resting. The mother couldn't sleep at night, and everyone lost a lot of weight. Jieyu, you and Niangniang are the best, it is rare for Niangniang to rest more today, please Jieyu be merciful and let Niangniang sleep more. It's better to ask Jieyu to move to Linglong Xuan and wait for a while, the slave and maid estimate that it is time to wake up after touching the mother and resting for a while, and then the slave and maid will ...... again."

Helan Fu didn't say a word, just a sneer. After saying that, his voice gradually faded, and he hung his head and didn't dare to say more.

Helan Fu pointed at Yingluo and said, "You are waiting in this garden with her, and you are not allowed to come in without being summoned." ”

After finishing speaking, he didn't wait for words to be spoken, and went straight towards the small building.

The wooden door was just lightly covered, and it opened with a push of his bare hands, and an unusually strong fragrance immediately came to his nose. Helan Fu couldn't help but cover his nose with his sleeves, and the wrinkles between his eyebrows deepened.

The familiar went up the ladder, opened the curtain on the second floor, and the fragrance at the end of the nose became more and more intense, straight as if it was tangible, and taught Helan Fu to gasp a few times before going up to see the situation inside the curtain.

The bright buildings of the past are all pitch black, and the window lattices seem to be pasted with thick paper in the interior, isolating the bright sunlight from the outside, only a faint candlelight beating on the left hand side, separated by a layer of tulle, which is even more faint and will not be extinguished.

Helan Fu squinted and saw that there seemed to be a figure sitting on the side of the candle flame, motionless, unable to distinguish between the darkness and the shadow, and he didn't know whether it was a real person or a virtual shadow.

With a strong pressure on his chest, Helan Fu even clenched his teeth, and did not make a sound, but opened the curtain and walked quietly towards the figure.

Crossing the two layers of gauze curtains, through the candle flame Helan Fu finally saw clearly, there was indeed a person sitting on the side of the candle, only wearing the inner obscene clothes, a green silk scattered to the ground, motionless, a knee-high three-legged incense burner on the side fell to the ground, most of the unburned incense powder was scattered all over the ground, and the rich and choking fragrance in the building came from here.

At this moment, Helan Fu couldn't help it anymore, and shouted in a deep voice: "Xia Ruoqing! What are you doing?! ”

The delicate body trembled suddenly, and the head of the mantis moved slightly, bringing a head to the ground like waves. Xia Ruoqing slowly turned her head, and after a while, she seemed to wake up to the fact that someone was approaching, and she was stunned for a moment before she said in a trembling voice: "Helan ...... Sister......? ”

What Helan Fu looked at was an inch-long dagger held by Xia Ruoqing in his left hand. It was just covered by Xia Ruoqing's long hair, but now that Xia Ruoqing turned around, the candle flame reflected the cold light on it, and there was still a drop of bright red left on the blade, which rolled to the ground along the blood groove of the blade, and was instantly covered by the ashes all over the ground.

Without saying much, Helan Fu rubbed his body and snatched the dagger away, and when he got closer, he found that Xia Ruoqing's right hand sleeve and wrist were leached with a trace of blood, and when he reached out, a bloody wound on the back of his wrist was pulled from top to bottom, and he pulled more than three inches.

Helan Fu was so shocked that his face changed, and he tore out the hem of Xia Ruoqing's obscene clothes with a strip and hurriedly wrapped it around his arm to prevent blood flow.

After the injured arm was tied, Helan Fu dared to settle down to look at the wound, but fortunately, although the wound was long, it was not very deep, but the flesh wound did not hurt the blood. Helan Fu's heart was anxious and painful, as if she was hurting herself, her whole body couldn't stop trembling, and she gritted her teeth and asked, "Xia Ruoqing!" What exactly are you doing! ”
