The heart shrank suddenly.

thought it wouldn't hurt, but after all, I overestimated myself.

But in the hearts of mortals, where is it still hot and alive, where is there anything that does not hurt?

Su Ziran licked her dry lips, the decent smile on her face was still intact, even if she knew that the green bamboo screen blocked the distance between her and him, even if she knew that he couldn't see her expression at the moment, or disdainful of it, she still didn't want to show the slightest cowardice and weakness in front of him.

"Thank you for mentioning it, Zi Dye knows what to do."

As soon as the words fell, she raised her head, opened the closed door, and left straight, forgetting to even take her coat.

The moment he closed the door, something seemed to collapse in the bottom of his heart, shattering silently, and he couldn't even feel the cold temperature outside.

At first, it was a step-by-step process, then it went faster and faster, and in the end it was almost a run.

The snow is getting heavier and heavier.

The distance between Moxuan Pavilion and Qingfeng Ju was not very long, but when she finally rushed back to her house, she was still covered with silver snow.

Eyebrows, eyelashes, melting snowflakes condensed into droplets, dripping on the cheeks, giving birth to a little cold air.

Lifting the futon, even the bed was cold, and his body shrank slightly, and finally took off his coat and lay down in his clothes.

The sky was dark, the stars were falling, the clouds were pressing down on the moon, and the thick fog made the bleak sky look even more undetectable.

Su Ziran lay groggily for an afternoon, and stayed until night, awakened by the huge pain and depression in her chest.

The strong feeling of suffocation made her breathing unsteady, and her hands and feet, which had been covered all afternoon, and finally warmed up, were suddenly cold, and she couldn't see her fingers in the bedroom, she lifted the futon, groped her way to the round table, and held the teapot in her trembling little hands, and poured a few sips directly into her mouth.

Her body shook, and the cold temperature made her sober up a little in an instant, but the pain in her chest became more and more intense.

Holding on to the torn pain, he walked a few more steps, came to the bookcase, and when he touched the silver candle, he finally sighed as if relieved.

The darkness is really uncomfortable, and at the same time, there is a sense of uncontrollable crisis, which is uncomfortable.

With a gentle blow on the fire fold, the room suddenly had a bit of light that was better than nothing.

Putting on the candlestick, the hot temperature melted a drop of candle tears in an instant, it was not very painful, but it burned to the bottom of my heart, and the hand holding the fire fold shrank suddenly.

Su Ziran frowned, put down the fire fold, brushed away the condensed candle tears on the back of her right hand, and turned around and walked to the closet.

At the door, Xin Zi's voice came: "The princess is awake?" When it was time for dinner, the slave maid saw that the princess was asleep and did not dare to disturb her. Now dinner is still hot for the princess, but do you want the slave to serve the princess for dinner? ”

"No need, you can step down." Su Ziran commanded while dressing.

The person outside the house paused slightly, and then asked, "The voice of the princess...... Slave and maid are brave, is the princess sick? ”

Indeed, hoarse and depressed, it is very much like being sick.

Su Ziran smiled bitterly: "It's nothing, it's just that I just woke up, and my throat is a little uncomfortable." You don't have to worry, go back and rest, I'll just sleep for a while. ”

The footsteps disappeared, and the girl's worried voice came again: "The princess hasn't eaten for a day, it's better to ......"

"Xinzi." She interrupted in a deep voice.

I wanted to say, don't care about what you shouldn't care, but when the words came to my mouth, I thought that this was one of the few people who would still care about her, and the words of reprimand were not spoken.

sighed, softened his voice and said, "You go and rest, I'm really fine." ”

Xin Zi still seemed to be a little hesitant, half loud, and just when Su Ziran couldn't help frowning, the footsteps at the door finally slowly left.

There was a "squeak", and the door was pushed open.

On the high walls of red tiles, white shadows fluttered, clothes and hair flew, and the footsteps were hurried, stepping on the snow. In the darkness, it is like a fairy in the dust, reflecting the distant sky.

Out of the Rui Wang's Mansion, Su Ziran could no longer bear the cold winter in the snow, stumbled down on the street, and walked in the direction of the Memory Chinese Medicine Hall.

She thought that she must have been poisoned, otherwise she would not be uncomfortable like this.

I just don't know when it was poisoned.

These days, she has barely stepped out of the door of Qingfeng Residence, and the only few times she has gone to Moxuan Pavilion, in front of that man, will she be poisoned?

When exactly......

On an extremely cold night, thousands of homes are lit up, the streets are sparsely populated, the north wind is howling, the snow is falling, and the long strings of footprints are soon drowned by the wind and snow.

Suddenly, the thin white shadow paused, shook a few times, and fell straight down.

The moment before she fell unconscious, a scene flashed in front of her eyes - the corners of the woman's mouth arced and sorrowful, her crumbling body seemed to be blown down by the wind, and the man's eyebrows were slightly together, rushing to her like a god, and firmly catching her, for fear that she would be hurt in the slightest.

Su Ziran smiled.

Consciousness gradually becomes chaotic until it dissipates.

Rui Wang's Mansion.

In the study, the man sat straight behind the bookcase, his face was like a crown of jade, handsome and beautiful, but the angular contours of his face clearly revealed a cold coercion.

The flickering candle flame made his dark ink pupils deeper and more elusive, his eyes were full of thick mist, and the curvature of his mouth that seemed to be smiling but not smiling looked a little crazy.

In front of her stood a shivering little maid, her eyes flashing, and her head drooping lower and lower.

The man hadn't said a word since she had been called into the study before she had a cup of tea, and she couldn't discern any emotion from that calm face, and the fear in her heart deepened as time went on.

Finally, she still didn't calm down, and repeated the question she asked as soon as she came in, but she didn't get an answer, but her tongue couldn't stop knotting: "The prince Xuan's slave and maid came to the study, is there a ...... Any commands? ”

There must be something, and it's a very important thing.

The prince does not allow others to enter the study casually on weekdays, even if it is the maid of Moxuan Pavilion, only the two who are cleaned every day can come in, so the prince announced that she came here tonight, on the one hand, it may be to avoid the girl in the main house, and on the other hand, it may be to make her realize the seriousness of the matter.

"Huan'er, how many years have you been in the palace?"

As soon as she opened her mouth, it was such a question, and the girl who was called Huan'er shrunk her neck inexplicably, and replied, "Go back to the prince......"

"It's been ten years." Before he could finish speaking, he was softly interrupted by a man.

It turned out that the prince didn't intend to ask for her answer at all.

"Yes!" Nono nodded.

The man said again: "The king doesn't care about other places in the palace, but the people in Moxuan Pavilion are all safe and self-serving, and they have never even been punished. ”

Huan'er knelt down with a "plop" and said urgently: "Lord, although the slave and maid don't know where they did wrong, if the prince wants to punish the slave and maid, the slave and maid will be willing to accept it, and there will be no complaints!" ”

The man hooked his lips meaninglessly, but the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes.

"Do you know what this king hates the most?"

She was stunned.

His eyes flickered, and he shook his head slightly.

"Betrayal." The man's voice turned cold, and he said quietly: "If you are unfaithful once, you won't use it a hundred times." This king still says the same thing, the king of other courtyards doesn't care, but the people of Moxuan Pavilion, if they can't even do this, how can they stay by this king's side? ”

"Lord Wang, there are no slaves!" Huan'er was stunned, and shook her head again and again: "The slave and maid definitely did not betray the prince, beg the prince to believe in the slave!" ”

There was silence in the silent room for a while, only the sound of the man's slender knuckles tapping on the table sounded, and it seemed to knock on Yu'er's heart.

After a long time, the man finally stopped: "Dump girl's medicine today, should you send it?" ”

Huan'er nodded: "Yes." ”

"Fried by your own hands?"

"Yes."

The man's eyebrows condensed, his phoenix eyes narrowed sharply, and he said in a deep voice: "You also ordered the poison?" ”

"Poison?" Huan'er's breath stagnated, her eyes widened in disbelief, and she even forgot her expression and movements, and took a hard breath before she said in a trembling voice: "No...... Rajah...... It's not a slave, it's not a slave's business...... It's really not about slaves! How is it possible for a slave to ...... How dare you do such a thing......"

"The medicine was fried by your own hands, and later it was only by your hands, if it wasn't you, who else would it be?"

Huan'er's figure flickered, and her face was like gold paper in an instant.

Suddenly, as if she remembered something, she sobbed and said, "Lord Wang, the medicine is not only in the hands of the slave and maid, but also the princess!" At that time, the slave and maid were about to bring the medicine in, and they happened to meet the princess at the door, and the princess took the medicine and said that it would be good for her to come. Speaking of which, maybe ......"

"Shut up!" The man drank in a deep voice, his face was extremely ugly, and the sharp gaze in his cold eyes shot towards the woman on the ground unabashedly, "The princess is also a subordinate of yours who can be framed casually?" ”

"Slave no!" Huan'er wept, her face was pale, and her lips were biting tightly, "The slave and maid really didn't poison it, even if it was dead, the slave didn't dare to hit the princess and the girl!" ”

One is the mistress of the palace in the pampering, and the other is the newcomer brought back by the prince, if she offends either of them, she will lose her head, how can she be so stupid?

Before the man could speak, there was a "squeak", and the door of the study was suddenly pushed open.

The man frowned, stunned.

In the dark night and snow, the woman's figure was thin, and she only wore a fox fur on the outside of her bedclothes.

Her eyes flashed at the man's furrowed brows, she pursed her lips, walked slowly to the door, and turned to close the door.

"Master ......" she looked at the man behind the bookcase fixedly, with a hint of inexplicable grievances and choking in her tone.

"If your body is not good, why do you always run around?"

"Master, I have something to tell you."

The man stood up with the corner of his robe, paused for a moment, and slowly walked to her side: "I'll talk about something when I go back." ”

"No, it's too late to go back." The woman shook her head stubbornly, and her eyes fell on the kneeling on the ground, "I don't plan to get to the bottom of this poisoning, so I don't have to impose the charge on a maid in order to give me an explanation." ”
