Chapter 018: It's up to you
"Qiaohui ......" Li Ruxuan was full of doubts and looked at Qiaohui in confusion.
"It's all you, it's all you!" Qiaohui was like crazy, her eyes were red, and she shouted loudly while smashing the items within reach at Li Ruxuan.
Dry firewood, wooden sticks, and even some fine rubble and stones, one by one, fell on Li Ruxuan's body, leaving large and small scars, bruises.
Li Ruxuan was in pain, but she endured it and didn't make a sound. She knew that Qiaohui was standing on the verge of despair at this time, and she must have hated her very much in her heart, and her indiscretions affected her.
It's just that if you weren't greedy, you wouldn't have come this far. Qiaohui's pitiful appearance of begging for something at that time still flashes in Li Ruxuan's mind and lingers.
Finally, Qiaohui was tired and stopped crying and scolding, but kept her tears in her eyes and glared at her hatefully.
Li Ruxuan rubbed her aching arms and back, which were smashed because of dodging, stood up quietly from the spot, and said calmly: "Qiaohui, don't worry, I will bear this matter with all my might, and I will not drag you down." ”
Qiao Hui's eyes widened, watching Li Ruxuan dust off the dirt on her body little by little, and pursed her lips tightly.
"Tomorrow, I will confess to Aunt Cui that this matter is my fault alone, and it has nothing to do with you Qiaohui." At this point, Li Ruxuan doesn't want to, and she doesn't want to implicate innocent people, although Qiaohui's personality is not good, but she is also the closest one to her in this Huanyi Bureau.
What's more, it's her business, and it has nothing to do with others.
Qiaohui stayed there, tears falling down her face again, but she didn't say anything more, just hugged her shoulders tightly, and squatted in the corner where the rats had just appeared.
What will tomorrow look like?
Will you never see the sunset again?
In this world, she also has a pair of poor but simple parents, although they have lived together for a short time, they can feel their strong affection for this daughter.
It's a pity that the creation makes people, and it can't be done under the knees of Chenghuan and do the due filial piety.
It's a pity that in just one life, I have to bury this deep palace wall.
Li Ruxuan was speechless, looking at the crescent moon that rose into the air, her face expressionless.
Seeing that Qiaohui had fallen asleep peacefully, and even made a slight snoring sound, Li Ruxuan felt more and more awake and couldn't fall asleep no matter what.
Outside the window is the moon and stars, and it is about to enter summer, and all kinds of insects have run out, chanting high and low, like a melody, ding ding dong.
It seems that I have been in the palace for a long time, but I have never been so leisurely! Li Ruxuan sighed.
Indeed, since entering the palace, every day has been some heavy physical labor, even if there is a trace of leisure, I want to rest, but I ignore this quiet night.
It's a pity that although the night is intoxicating, there is no wine to ask Mingyue's leisure and elegance, and some are worried about tomorrow's fate.
In this way, in infinite emotion, sorrow and a little unwillingness, Li Ruxuan closed her slightly heavy eyelids and fell asleep hazy.
"Bang!"
There was a loud sound, and the heavy firewood door seemed to be opened, followed by the blinding candlelight.
"Who!" Li Ruxuan subconsciously shouted and rubbed her eyes that were stung by the sudden bright light. Through his fingers, he could barely see two figures standing in front of him, but he couldn't see clearly.
"Who will come to see you at such a late hour?" The speaker's tone was soft, but with a deep sigh.
It is Cui Zhangshi, although the number of meetings with Cui Zhangshi is only a handful, but Cui Zhangshi is a native of Yangzhou, and he speaks softly and softly, and his tone is slightly raised, which is very easy to distinguish.
Slightly accustomed to the storage of paper lanterns, Li Ruxuan removed the palm that was shielding, saw Cui Zhangshi and Qingguo standing in front of her, and hurriedly bent over and saluted: "I've seen Aunt Cui." ”
"Get up." Cui Zhangshi said lightly, glancing at Qiaohui in the corner next to her, she didn't seem to be awakened, she was still asleep.
"Qiaohui, she's too tired......" Li Ruxuan was afraid that Cui would be angry because of this, so she hurriedly defended herself.
"It's okay, I just entered the palace at a young age, and I experienced such a thing, I'm afraid I'm scared." Cui Zhangshi waved his hand, obviously not taking this matter to heart.
"Thank you, Auntie." Li Ruxuan is grateful, today in the Huanyi Bureau, Cui Zhangshi also seems to want to end the matter hastily, and is unwilling to do too much investigation, no matter what the reason, in the end, he favors her.
"You don't have to rush to say thank you." Cui Zhangshi hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said: "There are many people today, I don't want to ask, and there is no one else now, about the incense powder, I want to listen to the truth." ”
Sure enough, it was still for this matter, Li Ruxuan pursed her lips and remained silent.
"I'm not afraid to be honest with you, although the Huanyi Bureau has a low status, it is also one of the eight major divisions in the palace, and the slightest mistake will involve the palace fight." Cui Zhangshi sighed, and then said: "Therefore, I will never allow any unknown people or things to appear in the Huanyi Bureau. ”
Li Ruxuan's lips pursed tighter and tighter, almost white.
Seeing that she still didn't speak, Cui Zhangshi was a little disappointed, and decided that she had a ghost in her heart, thinking that she was an honest person, and now she actually did something unclean, it was inevitable that she was a little chilled.
The heart is cold, but the matter has come to this point, and there is no other way.
Cui Zhangshi stabilized his mind and said: "Originally, I thought about it and passed it, and it was just vague, but Hongshang's words were right, even if it was unnecessary, it was much better than the shame of the Huanyi Bureau!" ”
The words were ruthless and the tone was heavy, and Li Ruxuan had a cold war, and tears quickly gathered in her eyes, but she tried her best not to let it fall.
"Auntie......" Li Ruxuan knelt down in front of Cui Zhangshi with a pout, and said, "Slave begs you for something......"
"If it's a plea, there's no need to ......" Cui Zhangshi's face turned cold and didn't give her a chance.
"Slaves and maids do not intercede for themselves." Li Ruxuan raised her head, forced back her tears, and replied calmly: "What the slave wants to say is that this matter has nothing to do with Xiangqiao, it is all done by me alone, I want to be beaten and punished, I want to live or die, I Li Ruxuan is alone." I beg my aunt to forgive Xiangqiao! As he spoke, he knocked his head three times, and his forehead immediately turned purple.
Her purpose is to maintain the reputation of the Huanyi Bureau, as for the number of people involved, it has nothing to do with it, plus Li Ruxuan's sincere words, thinking of her deep affection, Cui Zhangshi also nodded and said: "I will rely on you for this matter!" ”
"Aunt Xie!" Li Ruxuan fell to the ground again.
