The cuttlefish grabbed Ruyi's arm and lifted its sleeve upwards, revealing more skin.

I saw that the parts above her arms were full of ugly and prominent scars, as if she had been greatly tortured, and looked quite terrifying.

There are more than a dozen scars on the fair and delicate girl's skin, and the reason for this must not be simple.

Faced with the cuttlefish's questioning, Ruyi was reluctant to confess, her eyes were a little evasive, and she replied lightly, "As the master can see, this is the scar left by some small injuries, nothing unusual." ”

"A small injury? Can you tell me what kind of injuries caused you to be like this, and when, where, and under what circumstances did you get hurt? The cuttlefish immediately asked rhetorically, with an unquestionable meaning in her tone, obviously she attached great importance to this matter, and showed the attitude of breaking the casserole and asking the end.

The women in the palace, from the noble concubines to the palace maids who do miscellaneous work, are all strictly selected. Before entering the palace, layers of inspections are inevitable, whether it is abnormal physique or ugly appearance, or there are many unsightly scars on the skin, there is no qualification to enter the palace.

Therefore, Ruyi's so-called minor injury must have been caused in the palace.

The cuttlefish looked stern, with a faint hint of anger, and she said with a straight face, "You still hurry up and tell all the ins and outs of this, don't make up lies to bluff me." ”

Ruyi bit her lower lip, her breathing was extremely unsteady, and it took a while before she said a word, "Even if the slave maid says it, you may not be able to believe me." ”

She seems to have an unspeakable pain that prevents her from telling the truth at will.

Disappointed and sad rose in the heart of the cuttlefish, she has always treated Ruyi very well, like a sister, but she didn't notice it at all, and she didn't expect Ruyi to be carrying such a big secret. All of a sudden, the guilt that the cuttlefish had for hiding his identity disappeared.

"Just say, I have my own judgment, and if you tell the truth, of course I will believe it." The cuttlefish gave one last trust, affirmatively.

The cuttlefish was worried that Ruyi would betray her trust, and even more worried that Ruyi was not a good person and approached her with bad intentions.

Ruyi had tears in her eyes, sobbed slightly, and expressed her long-hidden pain, "The slave didn't mean to hide it, but there are some words that are more secure to hold in your heart, but since you want to know, the slave and maid will say it." The injuries on my body are not only what you see, but also on my back and legs. ”

The cuttlefish couldn't help but gasp, and couldn't imagine how much Ruyi had suffered.

"I remember you once asked the slave maid why she was just a rough maid in Jingren Palace in the past." Ruyi smiled bitterly, recalling all the things that had happened in the past, with a bitter face, "At that time, the slave maid had just entered the palace, and she was sent to Jingren Palace to serve Concubine Xi. The slave maid thought that this was a fat difference, but I didn't expect that the good times would not last long, and one day Concubine Xi suddenly sent me to deliver medicine to Concubine Qi, and this medicine also put poisons that hurt people's minds. Concubine Xi thought that the slave maid didn't know the details of the medicine, but I was an errand runner who didn't have a long brain, but in fact, the slave and maid knew everything. ”

Looking back on the past, Ruyi couldn't help but gasp in pain and continued, "The slave didn't want to hurt people, so she pretended to accidentally spill the medicine, but this attracted the wrath of Concubine Xi, she punished me to the Shen Penal Division, so that I was tortured and tortured until I was scarred, and I was willing to release me after a full month, and after that, although the slave and maid saved their lives, they could only be a miscellaneous palace maid who worked hard. ”

The cuttlefish didn't expect this kind of answer, and she looked at Ruyi with a little surprise, feeling puzzled. Concubine Xi looks pretty good, how could she want to harm Concubine Qi with medicine, could it be that there is something wrong between the two of them? Because a bowl of soup and medicine will punish the palace maid strictly, this heart is too vicious, will Concubine Xi really be so ruthless?

But seeing Ruyi's trembling and frightened look, the cuttlefish dispelled any suspicions, if Ruyi hadn't experienced pain, no matter how good his acting skills were, he couldn't pretend to be it.

Maybe there was a misunderstanding in the middle, the cuttlefish secretly guessed that she was willing to believe Ruyi, but she couldn't make a bad judgment about Concubine Xi's character.

"You have been rescued by Yi Hui, which is equivalent to receiving the kindness of Concubine Xi, the slave didn't dare to say this before, just for fear that you would not believe it. However, the slave and maid dare to swear to the heavens, everything just said is true, and the slave and maid have never had a bad heart for you. Ruyi's delicate face was stained with tears, and he looked pitiful.

The cuttlefish nodded distressedly, and regretted her questioning Ruyi just now, and the time she got along was enough to make her see people's hearts clearly, Ruyi's kindness and loyalty were definitely incomparable to others.

How could Ruyi harm her heart, Fang Cai's suspicion was really confused for a while!

The cuttlefish felt guilty and comforted softly, "I believe in you, no matter what happens, I will believe your words, and now that you have arrived in Changchun Palace, you will no longer suffer that kind of grievance, you can relax." As for the future, you are still the kind and capable Ruyi you were before, and you still take care of the affairs of the palace for me, and there is no change. ”

Ruyi received trust and some relief, her face was much better, and she smiled gratefully at the cuttlefish. It's just that the smiling face in this case is not much better than crying, but it makes the cuttlefish feel more sad and sad.

The cuttlefish chose to believe in Ruyi, this decision is naturally correct, Ruyi has a pure temperament and good character, which is worthy of believing.

Ruyi's words are all true, she has indeed been mistreated and tortured, and she almost lost her life in the Shen Penal Division for a bowl of harmful decoction.

Concubine Xi is so ruthless and cunning, the cuttlefish is temporarily blinded by appearances, and she can't see Concubine Xi's true face at all, she can't see it at all............

"Master, happy events are coming, happy events are coming."

Just when the cuttlefish Ruyi and the two were sad, a burst of babbling shouts suddenly sounded outside the window, as if to say that something happy had happened.

As soon as she heard this fussy voice, she knew that it was Aoba, she was simple-minded, and she always said whatever she wanted, and she didn't know how to shy away from it.

The cuttlefish reluctantly walked out of the Chengxi Palace, and after a closer look, it was Zhang Hai and Zhang's father-in-law! Could it be that the emperor announced that she was sleeping again!

But she has obviously reported her illness to the emperor in person, and the green-headed brand has been taken down, so which one is this now.

The cuttlefish looked at Zhang Hai who was smiling at the gate of the palace, and reluctantly squeezed out a few smiles on her face, her face looked normal, but she had already begun to vomit bitterness in her heart: the annoying Grandpa Zhang, the annoying Grandpa Zhang, every time I see him, he looks like this flattery, what kind of happy event is this, it's just nothing to look for......
