() The cuttlefish hurriedly got up and wanted to go to the Palace of Cultivating the Heart to meet the emperor, but was stopped by Ruyi.

"Master, I'm afraid you won't be able to get out now, the queen has already punished you for grounding, if you run out rashly, it will be bad if you are discovered." Ruyi persuaded.

The cuttlefish looked at Ruyi in a daze, and only came back to her senses after a while, sat back in frustration, she said calmly, "That's right, if such a big thing happened, it's a blessing that I didn't blame me immediately, and the grounding should also be deserved." ”

Confinement is the most common form of punishment for concubines, usually for as little as half a month or as long as three months, depending on the circumstances.

The cuttlefish sighed, she understood the queen's decision, and naturally she would not complain, but she had to be limited by the current situation, and she had to stay in Xianfu Palace, not the emperor.

If she can't go to the Heart Nourishing Palace, how can she complain to the emperor?

Ruyi comforted, "Don't worry, there is always a way, according to the rules, you can't go out at the moment, and others can't come to see you, but the emperor has you in his heart, and he will never sit idly by, just wait in our palace, and the emperor will definitely come." ”

The emperor will take the initiative to rescue the master, this is Ruyi firmly believes, but she has seen the emperor's favor for the master, and she has already had a sense of proportion in her heart.

"I can only wait for him, I have no other way, I can't go anywhere except this Xianfu Palace, it's really passive. Fortunately, with you and Xiao Yuezi by my side, I can go on. The cuttlefish said helplessly, his eyebrows full of gloom.

At this moment, a brisk step suddenly sounded, and it passed through the window and soon came in.

It's Haruka!

She jumped in happily, with a smile in the corner of her eyes, and said skillfully, "Master, and me, I will also accompany you." ”

I couldn't see Chunxiang's figure for a long time, and Cuttlefish and Ruyi thought that she had left with everyone, and it was inevitable that they would feel sad, but when they suddenly saw her again, they naturally felt happy, and they had a kind of joy that was lost and regained.

Ruyi pretended to blame and said angrily, "Where did you go without a sound, it made me sad, and I thought you were also a conscienceless, and with them gone, if you come back a little later, I will throw away all your clothes to relieve my anger." ”

Haruka grinned when she heard this, her eyes narrowed together, showing her coquettishness, but she didn't say where she went, but responded with a smile.

Seeing her childish appearance, the cuttlefish was a little relieved, and said softly, "It's good for you to come back, it is already a blessing that I have cultivated for several lifetimes to have you by my side." If Ruyi and the others leave her, she really doesn't know how to survive this lonely life.

"Master, don't say that, it should be our blessing to be with you." Chunxiang said sweetly, she still had a smile on her face, she looked sincere and well-behaved, but she was not the same as she looked, in fact, she had already set off a huge wave in her heart.

Earlier, Chunxiang had returned to Jingren Palace, and she had thought that the cuttlefish would be convicted and that she could return to Concubine Xi. But Concubine Xi was thoughtful and ordered her to continue serving the cuttlefish in case of emergency, and rejected her request to come back.

To this day, Chunxiang also wants to plan for her own way out, she doesn't want to suffer with a fallen master, if it weren't for Concubine Xi's order, she would never stay in Xianfu Palace for a moment longer.

Chunxiang said secretly, only by helping Niangniang quickly bring down this fake master, can I return to Jingren Palace, and I don't have to live a sad life here.

Seeing that Chunxiang Ruyi was by his side, the cuttlefish withdrew his slightly relieved gaze, lowered his head, and fell into deep thought. Now the situation in Xianfu Palace is like this, the trees are scattered, and those who can go are gone, leaving only two maids and Xiao Yuezi, who cooks, who are still loyal. Suicide is the most taboo in the palace, and Xiaochuan's side must not have sent him away with dignity, at most, he will find a secret place to bury him, and he will do it hastily.

Thinking of Xiao Chuan, the cuttlefish's chest couldn't stop aching, he spent a lot of time to be a eunuch, it was not easy, but now he is still dying so unexplained, he doesn't even have a decent place to be buried, this life is not ordinary suffering.

The cuttlefish wiped the moist corners of his eyes and ordered, "Ruyi, you go and prepare some paper money, let's go and burn some for Xiaochuan." "It was the last thing she could do for Ogawa.

Ruyi didn't want to say more, lest the master be even more sad, she nodded slightly, and then went out to prepare without a sound. Haruka came over and grabbed the cuttlefish's arm and helped her out of bed.

Although she had been grounded, the cuttlefish could still move around at will in the Xianfu Palace, so she found an open space in the backyard and sat down, talking to herself while burning paper money.

"Xiao Chuanzi, these are all burned for you, you have to take care of yourself over there, don't worry about me. I thought that you gave me back the silver at the beginning, and I thought at that time, why are you so stupid, how can you give me all the hard-earned money. But you're good, I didn't have time to run to scold you for being stupid, you left, you didn't even say hello, do you still treat me as a friend? ”

After saying a few angry words, the cuttlefish sniffled and continued, "Xiao Chuanzi, you won't commit suicide lightly, but someone has harmed you, what happened, you tell me quickly!" If you can hear me, can you give me a dream at night, so that I can understand the reason for this, and I may seek justice for you? ”

"I miss you, Xiaochuan, you're gone, I can only walk by myself in the future, I'm a little afraid, I don't know how many bad people are hidden in this palace, they hurt the master, and they hurt you, maybe one day I will be killed." No, I can't die, I want to find out the cause of your death, find out the murderer, and we can't let us be killed for nothing. ”

There were tears in the cuttlefish's eyes, but his gaze became more and more determined.

Ruyi and Haruka stood far behind, and they could only hear faint words, not knowing what the cuttlefish had said.

"Sister Ruyi, what do you say is wrong with the master, there is no one else here, who is she talking to, it won't be crazy."

"Don't talk nonsense, the master is just sad, just say two words to complain, don't talk nonsense. Also, during this time, you have to be careful in front of your master, and don't say anything that makes her unhappy. ”

………………

For the next three days, the cuttlefish was stuffy in the house, except for sleeping and crying, occasionally chatting with Ruyi, or pulling two mouthfuls of tasteless food, it was all she could do.

There was no other news from the queen's side, and the more nothing happened, the more uneasy the cuttlefish became.

And the emperor she thought about for a long time never came to Xianfu Palace, and even called a sentence, and never asked anyone to take it.
