Early in the morning of the second day, Zhu Zhen didn't use Hua Shu to call himself to get up, Xu was the impact of yesterday's events on himself, Xu was abnormal in the biological clock, and it was three minutes earlier than in the past. Seeing that Aunt Hua Shu was still asleep in bed, thinking that she was worried about her daily work, the action of washing and dressing the bamboo basket was also much lighter. After cleaning up, seeing that Aunt Hua Shu still had no movement, although she should not be on duty today, but on weekdays, Aunt Hua Shu had already gotten up at this time, and today she was still lying on the bed, without any movement, Zhu Zhen's heart couldn't help but feel a little weird.

After thinking about it, Zhu Ji walked lightly to Aunt Hua Shu's bedside, and when she looked at her appearance, she had a bad premonition, and when she reached out, she really had a fever.

Thinking that he was used to getting up early, or feeling the coolness on the bamboo basket's hands, Hua Shu moved, and when he opened his eyes and saw the bamboo basket beside his bed, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, and asked, "What time is it?" ”

Zhu Zhen said softly: "It's time." My aunt had a fever, thinking that she was infected with a cold, and my aunt was resting today, so Zhu Zhen went to ask for a doctor. ”

Hearing this, Hua Shu poked out a hand from the quilt, touched his forehead, gasped heavily, closed his eyes, and said, "It's really hot." Then he opened his eyes and said to Zhu Zheng, "The imperial doctor doesn't need to look for it, I just want to sleep more." ”

Zhu Zhen didn't follow: "My aunt is already feverish, how can I get better quickly if I don't ask the imperial doctor to prescribe some medicine to eat?" ”

After a few more words of persuasion, Hua Shu followed the bamboo basket and lay down quietly. The bamboo basket twisted the veil, put it on Hua Shu's forehead, and put the warm water snacks on the side, and said, "If my aunt is thirsty and hungry, I will use some first." I went to find the Imperial Doctor and went back. ”

Seeing that Hua Shu should be he, he closed his eyes and calmed down, and Zhu Fang went out of the house and closed the door. After only a few steps, I saw Chunliu coming in from outside the courtyard. Chunliu saw that the bamboo basket was coming, and hurriedly walked a few steps, and blessed the bamboo basket with a blessing, and said, "Sister Bamboo Basket is good." ”

Zhu Zhen nodded slightly, worried about Hua Shu's illness, and was in a hurry to find the imperial doctor, and did not ask her what she was doing at her and Aunt Hua Shu's residence. Hurrying to leave, he suddenly remembered something, and said with Chunliu: "Are you on duty today?" ”

Chunliu said in a pretty voice: "If you go back to my sister, I shouldn't be worthy today." ”

"That's good, Aunt Hua Shu has a fever this morning, I'm in a hurry to find the imperial doctor, now my aunt has no one to take care of, you go and take care of the meeting, my sister will thank you again." The bamboo basket patted Chunliu on the shoulder.

Hearing this, Chunliu's eyes were a little surprised, but he also responded smartly: "Sister, go ahead, I'll take care of it." ”

Zhu Zhen nodded, and went to find the imperial doctor.

Sending the imperial doctor away, Chunliu wanted to take the medicine to the kitchen to decoct the medicine, but the bamboo basket took it and said, "You can take care of my aunt here, I am on duty today, send the medicine to the small kitchen, and then go to the study." After a while, I will ask someone to boil the medicine and send it over. ”

Harunliu answered. Zhu Zhen whispered a few more words to Hua Shu before leaving the courtyard. It happened that Yingluo was on duty today, and the bamboo basket held Yingluo, so he walked quickly all the way to the study with confidence. The front foot of the bamboo basket entered the study, and the back foot of the concubine entered, and the sweat on the forehead of the bamboo basket had not disappeared, so she hurriedly wiped it away, and said in her heart: It's dangerous.

Concubine Liang didn't seem to be in much interest today, and she didn't sit down for a while and went back to the house. Zhu Zhen was relieved not to go down to Hua Shu, and the little palace maid in the study instructed that he had something to look for, so he went back to his own room.

When she entered the house, Yingluo was also there, and when she saw Zhuzhen coming in, Yingluo said: "Aunt Chu heard that Aunt Hua Shu was sick, so she sent me to take care of her." ”

Zhu Zhen thanked him, and asked Hua Shu's condition again, and saw Chunliu Dao, the doctor only said that it was caused by fatigue, and it could be treated for two days, and now the fever has subsided, so he can put his mind at ease.

fed Hua Shu half a bowl of white porridge and served her to sleep, it was almost noon. Zhu Zhen asked Yingluo and Chunliu to eat first, and he took care of it first. After a while, the two of them had already turned back and replaced the bamboo basket. When he was about to leave the hospital, Chunliu chased after him and stopped the bamboo basket.

Zhu Zhen turned around and said, "But what's the matter?" ”

Chunliu hesitated slightly, took out an object wrapped in silk from his arms, opened it, and saw that it was a jade pendant made of ink jade, Chunliu said: "Originally, I came to look for Aunt Shu today, I wanted to give this jade pendant to my aunt, but I didn't want my aunt to be sick, so I didn't dare to disturb my aunt to rest." ”

"Then what are you ...... again," Zhu Zhen was puzzled.

Chunliu whispered about yesterday's events, and at the end, he was even more confused: "I don't know how the master is, holding this jade pendant to the candlestick and looking at it, obviously still smiling, and suddenly threw the jade pendant into my arms, and said, give it to the slave." But I see that this jade pendant is precious, how dare I accept it? But he didn't dare to disobey the master's wishes, so he thought about accepting it first, and asked his aunt what to do. ”

Zhu Zhen frowned slightly, and vaguely felt that this jade pendant must have special significance to the good concubine, although he rewarded it casually, and when he came back to the taste after a while, he was not sure how to regret it, so he took the jade pendant from Chunliu's hand, wrapped it and put it away, and said: "You go back to the house to serve, I will find an opportunity to talk to my aunt." After a pause, he withdrew a ring from his fingers, stuffed it into Chunliu's hand, and said, "It's not a valuable thing, let's wear it and play with it." Chunliu excused herself, and in the end asked Zhu Zhen to persuade her to accept it.

In the afternoon, the bamboo basket was fine, and seeing that Hua Shu's heat had subsided a lot, he asked Yingluo and Chunliu to go back separately. Zhu Zhen thought, probably lie down for another day, Hua Shu's illness will be cured, and it will not be too late to talk to her about Yu Pei at that time.

The candlelight gradually brightened, but the sky was not yet dark, Zhu Zhen saw that Hua Shu was asleep again, he had nothing to do, thinking of the jade pendant, he couldn't help but be curious, took it out and looked at it, but it was the same as the description of Chunliu. "Qin"? What does this mean? Zhu Zhen couldn't think about it, and flipped the jade pendant at will, and was stunned for a while-"Bandit Stone Bandit Seat", it turned out to be like this, so it was no wonder.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Suddenly there was a knock on the door. This night? Zhu Zhen frowned slightly, got up and opened the door, it turned out to be Ming Quan beside Babel. Ming Quan saw that Zhu Zhen opened the door, said hello, and said, "The eighth master invites the girl to the study." ”

I haven't met Babel for a long time, I thought it would be over, but I didn't want him to suddenly find him, although he didn't understand, but he knew that he couldn't delay, and Tongming said: "I'm tired of my father-in-law, and the slave and maid will go." Ming Quan saw that Zhu Zheng responded, turned around and left first. Zhu Zhen turned around and went back to the house, and saw that Aunt Hua Shu was still asleep, and the fever on her forehead had completely subsided. Filling up some warm snacks, Zhu Fang closed the door and went to the Yilan Pavilion.

In the study, the lights were bright, different from the tranquility of the past, there was some noise in the distance, and the bamboo basket was surprised to hear it, and there was still no pause in the step. The little eunuch outside the study saw the bamboo basket approaching, and without waiting for the bamboo basket to speak, he said a thousand words: "Hello sister, the master has ordered, my sister is here, and just go in." ”

Zhu Zhen nodded, but he was not in a hurry to enter, and asked in a low voice, "Who else is in the house?" ”

The little eunuch said: "There are still the ninth and tenth masters." ”

The bamboo basket didn't say anything more, lifted the curtain and walked in lightly. Bypassing the screen, the bamboo basket hurriedly glanced at it, in the house, Babeile sat in front of the bookcase, the ninth elder brother stood by the window near the door, and the other one he had never seen, I was afraid that it was the tenth elder brother, but he felt that the outline was rough, and he didn't look at it carefully. When Zhu Zhen entered the house, Brother Ten was sitting on a brocade stool, holding a tea bowl in one hand, and was talking and laughing loudly.

Zhu Zheng saluted the three of them. Seeing Zhu Zhen coming in, Eight Belle and Nine Elder Brother didn't react, but Ten Elder Brother saw it, stopped talking, and wanted to say something, but asked Nine Elder Brother to stop with a look. The tenth elder brother paused, and the atmosphere that had been a little quieter heated up again in the tenth elder brother's continued laughter. And Zhu Zhen's invitation seemed to be unseen, and she was only half-squatted aside.

"I don't know what happened to the fourteenth brother recently, he has become more and more addicted to the cloth warehouse, and every time he calls him to come to ask for peace to Concubine Liang, he refuses to come." Ten Brother Dao.

When Zhu Zhen first entered the palace, the little boy she met was only a little more than a month, and she couldn't remember what he looked like.

The tenth elder brother saw that the eighth elder brother was practicing his own calligraphy, and he looked self-satisfied, but when he saw the ninth elder brother by the window, he turned back, and hurriedly said to the ninth elder brother: "I caught him a few days ago, and after asking for a long time, I asked me to ask some clues." After a pause, the tenth elder brother said, "Guess what's the reason?" After finishing speaking, the tenth elder brother was already proud.

Babel's hand was still smooth, and the ninth elder brother moved to the square table, found a brocade stool and sat down, but he didn't say anything. Seeing this, the tenth elder brother couldn't help but be a little frustrated, but he didn't care, and said to himself: "But it's for the sake of angry words with a girl!" ”

The bamboo hoop legs were gradually sore, and when I heard the words, I forgot the soreness on my legs, my heart jumped, and my fingertips gradually cooled. Babel shook his head with a smile, it turned out that he was listening. Brother Jiu played with his wrench, but still didn't react.

Seeing that the two of them did not react in advance, the tenth elder brother couldn't help but be anxious, took a big sip of tea, and said, "Eighth brother, this girl ......" The tenth elder brother deliberately dragged out a long tone, and the eighth elder brother still did not move, and the tenth elder brother had to continue, "But it is in the Chuxiu Palace!" ”

Zhu Zhen sighed in his heart, if he was really true, he lowered his head and closed his eyes. Half-squatting like this, it is most likely to be sore, and it takes less than a cup of tea to stiffen, but at this time, where can the bamboo basket take care of this. The state of mind of "breaking the jar and breaking it" has not yet risen, and Zhu Ji's heart is excited, Babeile called himself over, is this for this? But looking at Babel's reaction, Babel doesn't seem to know about this, so what's the reason? If you don't call yourself like this, it's like you're punishing her, but what's the punishment? Zhu Zhen pondered his recent words and deeds, he had not dealt with Babel for a few days, except that day he rebuked himself for being bold. It's just that so much time has passed, but I didn't expect that Babel hadn't uncovered this stubble.

Zhu Zhenwu thought to himself, not noticing the afterglow that Babeile had cast on him after hearing the words of the tenth elder brother. Not only the bamboo basket, but even the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother didn't notice it, and the gaze was too fast.

"You go back." Suddenly, Babel threw such a sentence.

Hearing this, the tenth elder brother who was talking about it was stunned, and when he saw the ninth elder brother glancing at the bamboo basket, the tenth elder brother understood and wanted to say something, but he saw that Babel had no expression on his face, and couldn't help but stop talking.

The bamboo basket was deeply blessed again, and Fang slowly got up and retreated. Walking outside the house, Zhu Zheng hurriedly supported the wall, frowning deeply. The little eunuch hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Sister, what's uncomfortable?" ”

The bamboo basket waved his hand, thought for a moment, and said, "Can you help me to the front?" ”

The little eunuch was busy, and he helped the bamboo basket to go forward, until it was far away from the Yilan Pavilion, and the bamboo basket stopped his steps, thanked him, and let the little eunuch go back to serve. Just now in the house, she forcibly moved outside the house, there was already a tide on her back, and after rubbing it for a while, her legs softened, there was no stiffness, and the feeling of pins and needles also receded. Although it was still sour, but thinking that if a few masters in the house suddenly came out and ran into it, wouldn't it be troublesome, so it was better to go back to the house as soon as possible, so Zhu Ji hurriedly returned to the house.

No, Aunt Hua Shu woke up, saw Zhu Zhen coming in, smiled, and said softly: "I'm back." ”

Zhu Zhen replied in a low voice: "Hmm." After thinking about it, he said, "Why did my aunt get up?" ”

Hua Shu held the teacup and said, "Xu slept too much during the day, and when he woke up this time, he couldn't sleep." ”

Zhu Zhen didn't say anything more, went to change his clothes, and when he came back, Hua Shu was still sitting on the bed. Zhu Zhen hesitantly stepped forward, picked up a low stool and sat down beside Hua Shu's bed, and said, "What does my aunt think now?" But what's uncomfortable? ”

Hua Shu smiled and brushed the teacup and said, "Except for some weakness on my body, there is nothing uncomfortable anymore." ”

"Then, I have something I want to ask my aunt to decide." Zhu Zhen said softly.

"Tell me something." Hua Shu straightened up slightly.

Zhu Zhen took out the jade pendant wrapped in silk from his arms, unfolded it and showed it to Hua Shu, and told Hua Shu about the spring willow in detail. After the bamboo basket finished speaking, Hua Shu did not make a sound for a long time, and pondered it, but the bamboo basket did not bother.

After a long time, Hua Shu raised his head, accepted the jade pendant, and Zhu Shu breathed a sigh of relief, Hua Shu took this matter.

On the second day, Hua Shu went to duty early. The bamboo basket had already woken up at that time, but because he was not on duty, he was not in a hurry to get up, so he closed his eyes and pretended to sleep. After Hua Shu went out for a while, Zhu Fang got up.

Zhu Zhen didn't know how Hua Shu dealt with the jade pendant, and she didn't know how she said it to Concubine Liang, she didn't bother to think about those things, in short, she had nothing to do here.

Just thinking of Concubine Liang, Zhu Zhen still couldn't help sighing, who brought her into the Forbidden City, who gave her the promise of life, who let her be a weak woman to face the deception alone, and who made her what she is today? took a broken stone and carved a few sour sentences, and locked a woman's best years and the most beautiful thoughts, but the woman did not have a trace of resentment.

My heart is a stone, and I can't turn it. My heart is a bandit, and I can't be swept away.
