Tilting looked at Xiu'e, who was standing in place and was weak, her heart was mixed, and she was about to reach out to help, but Xiu'e slowly knelt down.

"The slave and maid fainted with his wife, and the tired prince and Mrs. Wen came overnight, and the slave and maid were guilty." As she spoke, she bowed her head a little.

Li Min hurriedly said: "You are not in good health, hurry up and talk about it another day." ”

As soon as the words fell, another person hurriedly came in from outside the door, it was Qiao'er.

She glanced at Li Min in a little panic, and after greeting the prince, she hurriedly raised her hand to help Xiu'e, "You ran out by yourself without saying a word, your body is still weak, what if something happens." ”

Seeing Tilt Bang and Lily of the Valley leave, she left Xiu'e's blood-filled room. Unexpectedly, not long after, the two maids hurriedly came to report, saying that Xiu'e was taken out by Yuliu, and they really couldn't stop it. She didn't have a good heart, but even if she hurried and hurried, it was too late.

She used all the strength in her hand to take Xiu'e away, completely ignoring that she was holding Xiu'e's injured arm, and in the blink of an eye, blood oozed from the white cloth.

Jun Ruojin said coldly: "Since she has something to say, let her finish." ”

Li Min smiled embarrassedly, and then stopped Qiao'er.

Qiao'er let go of her hand, angry and anxious in her heart. She gritted her teeth secretly, she only hoped that Xiu'e would know more about current affairs, otherwise no one would think about it.

Xiu'e's face was pale with pain, cold sweat broke out on her forehead, and she couldn't speak for a long time.

Meng Xiwen watched coldly for a long time, and said to Xiu'e: "Your wife just said something about you, don't worry, if you have any grievances in your heart, just say it directly, as long as you tell the truth, naturally the prince will be the master with me to make decisions for you." ”

Meng Xiwen's words slashed into Li Min's heart like a soft knife, and she smiled on her face, but the corners of her mouth were stiff, and her eyes became more and more cold and hard.

Xiu'e had never seen her such a cold gaze, she trembled all over, and hurriedly said, "Thank you Mrs. Wen, the slave maid doesn't have any grievances." ”

Meng Xiwenxiu raised her eyebrows and leaned back softly, "Really?" Then I want to hear it, what do you want to say when you came here with a sick body? ”

If it weren't for her will, how could Yuliu bring her over.

Xiu'e raised her eyes stiffly and said, "The slave maid came here to show the matter of the sunset." ”

Breathing for a moment, his gaze fell quietly on her face. It's one thing to guess, it's another to listen to her in person. So, what exactly is the truth?

Maybe it was because the tilting gaze was too hot, Xiu'e noticed it and followed it. But as soon as the two of them touched their sights, Xiu'e dodged again.

Tilted and stunned.

For a while, a few meaningless glances fell on Xiu'e, the corners of her lips trembled slightly, and she began to become cramped and uneasy, "The slave knows that there are different opinions about this matter, but the fact is that the slave and the maid themselves accidentally slipped into the water, and it is none of anyone's business." It's all the slave's fault, the slave doesn't have any skills, not only can't help the lady, but also only causes trouble. The slave and the maid really have no face to live, but even suicide is impossible, and it is useless to be a slave and maid. ”

He looked at her in silence, and his heart was inexplicably painful. Not long ago, she simply thought that Xiu'e was afraid because she didn't find her purse, and she was afraid of being punished, but when she heard Xiu'e's guilt and guilt overflowing words, she suddenly realized that Xiu'e's humility had long been so deep in her bone marrow that she thought that her existence was a burden.

Seeing Xiu'e in tears, short of breath, and trembling in her body, she couldn't care about anything else, so she hurriedly lowered her body and hugged her, trying to give her a little strength.

But such a Xiu'e, no one will believe her words.

Fang woke up from her slumber and couldn't wait to come, her explanation was just to cover up.

Who forced her to do this?

"Was it really just an accident? If it's just an accident, why do you bother to explain it, and for whom? Xiu'e, you have to think clearly before answering, just don't say it, but if you lie, you are deliberately deceiving the prince, but it is a big crime. Mrs. Wen turned a blind eye to Xiu'e's abnormality and spoke in an aggressive tone.

Xiu'e panicked for a moment, but she gritted her teeth and kowtowed repeatedly, "The slave maid's words are true. There were cold stone bricks underneath her, and she didn't feel the pain, and she pressed extremely hard.

The dull voice hit the eardrum hard, and when it fell, it was clear that Xiu'e's forehead was red and swollen, which was particularly shocking on her pale face.

Seeing that Meng Xiwen was going to say something more, she turned her eyes to look at Jun Ruojin, who had been silent, hoping that he could stop it and continue, she couldn't imagine what would happen.

But he turned a blind eye to her pleading gaze.

"Wang ......," she wanted to speak, to get his attention.

"Mu pours out." Meng Xiwen's eyes narrowed in displeasure when she saw her maintaining her posture, warning her not to get in the way.

Just hearing this name, Xiu'e was shocked and shook her head desperately, "No, it's not tilting, it's not tilting." Dumping came back to help me find Madame's purse, it really can't be her. ”

Leaning arm froze and slowly retracted.

Everyone's eyes also withdrew from Xiu'e and slid to her face.

'Not dumping', 'deliberate', these words are worth scrutinizing.

As if realizing that she had said something wrong, Xiu'e knocked her head more urgently, repeating the words "really me was careless" in her mouth.

But no one paid attention to what she said and what she did, and everyone's eyes only looked at the slightly distracted expression and the silence of the prince when he looked at the two of them.

"I'm sorry." Suddenly, he heard these three words.

If the light one hadn't been staring at Xiu'e all the time, he would have completely ignored the three words of lightness.

Before Xiu'e completely fainted, Jun Ruojin finally called Yin Hong in and sent her back.

After Xiu'e left, the room fell into an eerie silence.

Li Min was speechless, Meng Xiwen looked at the tilt for a while, and then looked at the prince again, his expression changed.

Jun Ruojin stood up at this time, "The return to Beijing is imminent, if there is anything you need here, you can tell Dongxue, and she will find someone to arrange." It's getting late, let's all rest. ”

Things have developed to this point, how can Meng Xiwen be willing to go over in a daze like this, she stood up as she stood up, "Lord Wang, this matter is settled?" Don't you have anything to say? ”

Still immersed in those three words, Jun Ruojin glanced at her lightly, and said to Li Min and Meng Xiwen: "Originally, the king should not interfere in the affairs of the various courts, and should leave it to you to deal with by yourself, but this king needs to remind you that although the palace is different from the top and bottom, it never allows contemptuous things to happen. ”

After listening to his words, he was stunned, and Li Min and Meng Xiwen both looked difficult to look at.

The four words of strict hierarchy reminded Li Min of her background again, which was an eternal thorn in her heart, making her feel inferior forever.

Although Meng Xiwen has always known that her reputation is outside, the prince has never asked, and she is even more fearless because of his favor. Now he is so solemn because of his subordinates, although he said it vaguely, it makes her feel less than good.

He is so protective of Mu Qian? Or do you want to protect her for Jiang Yan?

Meng Xiwen's heart was still bitten, not painful but unbearable. Seeing the prince's solemn warning, she tried her best to suppress her feelings, and wisely stopped mentioning anything that displeased him, and only smiled and said, "Lord, the concubine is with you." ”

Li Minqiang cheered himself up, but after all, he couldn't be as comfortable as Meng Xiwen, and stood up to send off the prince.

In the blink of an eye, the people in the room were scattered, and after Li Min saw them leave, his face was completely depressed, and he sat back on the chair with hatred.

"Lord Wang, you've been tired for a day, why don't you go to the concubine tonight, so as not to go back and forth." Meng Xiwen came to Jun Ruojin's side, grabbed his arm, and spoke softly.

"No, there's still something to be done, I'll see you another day." Jun Ruo let her get close, but he refused directly.

Meng Xiwen reluctantly wanted to persuade again, but remembering what happened just now, he didn't say anything more.

Walking to Xiyan Courtyard, Meng Xiwen saw Jun Ruojin and the three of them leave. She stood by the side of the road for a long time, until the darkness of the night completely obscured his long figure.

"Madame, go back." Her unusual appearance made Lily of the Valley a little worried.

Meng Xiwen retracted his gaze, turned his head in the direction of Yuqing Yuan, and smiled coldly. Even she could see that there was something wrong with Li Min and the others, let alone the prince.

What can be seen?

Qi Yu Mountain seemed to have suddenly quieted down, and the endless mountains in the distance left only a vague outline in the night, and there was a piece of black pressure everywhere, which was overwhelming.

She slowly adjusted her breathing, counting the monotonous footsteps ahead, dull and regular.

When Jun Ruojin stopped, she raised her head, only to realize that she had followed him all the way to Fuqu Pavilion's bedroom.

He was standing on the steps and looking down at her, "Haven't woken up yet?" ”

poured out the chaos in his heart, and countless thoughts came up at once, but when the words came to his mouth, he couldn't ask a word. looked up at him in a daze for a long time, and finally had to say, "The prince has a good rest, and the slave and maid retire." ”

She listened to his footsteps drift away.

The empty bowl on the stone table in the courtyard reminded her of her birthday, and she stood there for a while, picking up the dishes and chopsticks and walking towards the kitchen tiredly.

"Dump," Jin Yan came out of nowhere, her voice very loud in the night, "where have you been?" Make it easy for me to find. ”

Tilting let out a long exhale, and his voice was a little strange, "What do you want me to do, can you still lose it." ”

Jin Yan peeked in the direction she came from, "Where can I be, I'm not worried about you." Why don't you call me when you're hungry, I can help you. ”

Tilting Wan didn't want to pay attention to her inquiry, and he didn't have the heart to accompany her, so his voice faded, "Go back quickly, I'm going to go to sleep after I finish packing." ”

Jin Yan pursed her lips where she couldn't see, and pursed her lips and snickered, with an expected expression.

*****

The afternoon sun is just right, and Tingfeng Pavilion welcomes two distinguished guests.

Meng Xiwen walked back slowly from the attic window and sat down, and couldn't help but praise: "It's still Yan'er who has taste, it's like we are all huddled together, but we lose our quietness." Yan'er lives alone and quietly, and the flowers in this yard are beautiful, so it's no wonder that people like it, even I can't help but go two more times. ”

Li Min was pulled out to relax, but his feelings were not high, knowing that he was just a number, so he didn't open his mouth much. Jiang Yan sat lazily basking in the sun, and opened her eyes when she heard her voice, "Quiet is quiet, but it is inevitably boring, it is rare for you to see it." ”

Meng Xiwen looked around, and when he saw the mottled and faded old kite, he couldn't help but take a few more looks, "Stay, why don't you transfer the people from Yingchun Garden to serve." We didn't even have a greeting person all the way over, didn't I say it, you don't know who this Wind Pavilion is casually barging into. ”

Her unintentional words surprised Jiang Yan, and when she saw that she just had no intention of talking, she closed her eyes again.

Yuliu and Yun'er happened to bring a lot of refreshments upstairs, and Li Min took a piece of crystal cake, "This cake is refreshing, but I didn't know Yun'er's craftsmanship was so good." ”

Yun'er said with a smile: "Thank you Mrs. Min for your praise, don't dare to be a slave." I picked out Jiang Yan's favorite snacks and put them on a plate and put them in her hand.

Li Min felt something and sighed: "The people around Yan'er are all smart, unlike me, there is no one who can discuss things. Although Xiu'e failed to commit suicide, with her temperament, I am afraid it will be even more difficult to reuse in the future. ”

Jiang Yan and Yun'er were shocked, "How come?" When was this? ”

Meng Xiwen smiled at her, "You don't know such a big thing, I really don't know where your mind is." It's a good thing to say that you are not allergic, the people around you are really smart. Yuqing Yuan, who took the girl to go with the prince last night, you don't have to worry, she was taken care of well, we have all seen it. ”

Knowing about Xiu'e, Jiang Yan couldn't help sighing, patted Li Min's hand for comfort, and did not respond to Meng Xiwen's words.

Meng Xiwen gritted her teeth with hatred, she knew that Jiang Yan did it on purpose.

The sunlight shone through the window on several people, the picture was hazy and soft, Li Min only watched the two of them, watching them come and go. With Meng Xiwen's background, she doesn't have to take Jiang Yan too seriously, not to mention that the prince is not eager to treat Jiang Yan. I don't know why she is always targeted everywhere, and those who can be calculated lose first, but it is not as free and easy as Jiang Yan.

Jiang Yan is not stunning, and her temperament is so quiet that she is almost cold, but the last night banquet made Li Min discover her sharp edges and corners that are not obvious. Right now, she is reclining in the chair, with no edge, her face is glowing with soft colors, and the tranquility is particularly prominent, which makes people look sideways.

"I don't know if I'm wrong," Li Min suddenly smiled lightly: "Yan'er seems to have gained some weight." ”
