The raindrops under the eaves are like lines, and the bluestone brick floor has been washed clean as new.

"You're walking too slowly, who are you not drenched?" Song Chunyue laughed.

The three of them huddled under the same umbrella, their steps were hurried, and their embroidered shoes were already soaked after a few steps.

The rain blew straight to the human face with the wind, which was clear and cold, but it made people feel much more comfortable for no reason.

Thinking of the young man with an ordinary face and a smile on his face that looked like the morning sun in early spring, the appearance of a hurried glance when he fell into the water instantly became clear, and the descriptions of the two slowly overlapped and overlapped in his mind, and finally became a complete portrait.

The cool breeze penetrated along the neckline, making people unconsciously step up again, the woman looked at the hazy rain curtain in front of her, and subconsciously tightened her Qianqian fingers hanging in her sleeve slightly.

……

It was very early in the gloomy sky, and the lamp in the room that had been lit up early trembled slightly with the cold wind that came in through some gap.

Xie was lying on the chaise longue, covered with an embroidered blanket of lake green flowers and birds, and the personal maid was kneeling in front of the couch, sobbing while treating the wound on Xie's forehead.

"The prince is too unreasonable...... How can this be taken out of anger on you, madame? In order to help the eldest prince cover up, Mrs. had wronged herself and her cousin a lot. No one wants such a thing to happen, but in the end, this kind of mistake is to let the lady bear the ......" The maid's choked tone was full of grievances and injustice.

After they returned from Yunzhan Courtyard today, it didn't take long for the news of the cousin's death to arrive.

Immediately after, he waited for Jin Yuming, who was covered in coldness.

He made a move on Hsieh. Ignoring the obstruction of a room of people.

Xie's face and body were full of bumps and scratches.

Jin Yuming seemed to be crazy, he couldn't listen to anyone's persuasion, and in the end, even the two young daughters rushed to cry and begged him to let his mother go, but they were all affected.

The two girls were frightened and cried, and were taken back by the nurse at the behest of Xie.

Jin Yuming exhausted all the anger in his heart before he stopped.

From beginning to end, Xie Shi never begged for mercy, because she knew that this man who had shared the bed with her for so many years had never been seen through by her. Now it's no different from a madman.

And over the years, she has been controlled by others everywhere in the Jin family. But he has never been humiliated like this.

The reason why Jin Yuming was angry with her was to teach her that she didn't control Xie Jiarou well, and let her do such a heartbreaking thing.

In a frenzy......

I don't know who is crazy.

Xie's eyes were full of sarcasm, but the decision in his heart was extremely clear again.

The maid was still whispering grievances for her.

"What a grievance lady......"

Xie Shi tugged at the corners of his mouth disappreciatively.

What is wronged, not wronged.

Only those who still see the other person as something to rely on and can rely on. will feel aggrieved by the injustice he gave.

But Jin Yu Ming is to her. It's long gone.

Or so to speak. Never.

"Ma'am."

A black shadow flashed in silently from outside, under a rain-soaked night clothes, but the tone of a little girl was clear.

"As Madame commands. It's all done. She lowered her voice and said, "The slave and maid buried the cousin in the cemetery in the north of Merlin outside the city. ”

"Is it noticed?" Xie Shi didn't speak, but the maid who knelt there to rub the medicine asked cautiously.

Today, when the prince learned of the death of his cousin, he actually wanted to whip her body and chop it up and throw it to the dogs.

It's outrageous.

"Although my sister is relieved, no one notices that the corpse was secretly transferred by me." After saying that, he looked at Xie.

Xie Shi nodded slowly, signaling that she could retreat.

The woman in black left the room silently.

As soon as she walked on her front foot, the maid who was wiping the medicine took a dry towel and wiped the traces of rain from the place where she had been standing.

The room was quiet, only the wind outside the window was the noise.

Xie Shi looked at the flickering flames under the gauze lampshade depicting the lady, and a silver light flashed in the corners of his eyes.

Such an extreme ending is obviously the last thing she wants to see, but at this moment, she has to admit that this seems to be the best ending.

To Xie Jiarou, and even to her.

I don't have to face it anymore, just think about it, and feel miserable in the future.

That's a good thing.

But she still felt guilty.

This kind of guilt is destined to be irreducible in this life.

……

In the next few days, the weather inside and outside the capital was cloudy, and between late autumn and early winter, there was only a thin line left in the blink of an eye.

"If you don't feel well, don't hold on, and come back to rest after explaining the situation to the queen." Before Jiang Ying went out, Zhuang explained like this, and while speaking, he helped her tighten the Zhuang red cloak with white fox fur on her body.

"Madame, don't worry, the slave will take good care of the girl." Yun Li said with a smile on the side.

Zhuang nodded, looked at the gray and dark sky outside with a hint of cold rain, and said, "Go quickly, it's not good to miss the time to enter the palace." ”

Jiang Ying then asked Yunli to take the prepared gift and go out.

Zhuang looked at her back and walked out step by step, and suddenly his eyes were red for no reason.

"I said, what are you doing here? The child just went out and came back after a dinner party, and he was guilty of letting you wipe your tears? Liang Ping sighed helplessly, pulled her back to the chair, wiped her tears for her, saw that she was still sobbing, shook his head and smiled: "I haven't seen you cry so much." ”

"You don't know what kind of feeling I feel in my heart...... Zhuang Shi pursed his lips for a moment before he was able to continue speaking: "Sister Ying'er has been a hard-working child since she was a child, and she has experienced many dangers over the years...... But this time, you say...... Seeing her spirit getting worse and worse day by day, it was like a knife cutting at my heart all the time...... There's really nothing I can do......"

Let's talk about it. threw himself into Liang Ping's arms and couldn't help crying loudly.

"I know how hard you endure......" Liang Ping couldn't hide his sadness when he saw her like this, but he could only comfort softly: "But if you are like this, how can you let the child have the confidence to wait?" Don't worry, with that kid here, even if it's hard-to-find medicinal herbs, you will definitely be able to find it. ”

"Hmmm......"

……

When Jiang Ying changed into a sedan chair in front of the palace gate, the sky was almost dark, and the lanterns were hanging high, which made this palace that could not be called majestic. It shows a kind of extreme beauty.

Or at night. All people can see is something bright and gorgeous on the outside.

All the unbearability and filth are hidden in the endless darkness.

The rain was still falling, and Jiang Ying got off the sedan chair at the gate of Weiyang Palace. Yun Li had already taken the first step and raised the oil-paper umbrella in her hand above her head.

"The feast is in the inner sanctum." The Weiyang Palace is full of glory. Bright as day. Xin'er crossed the threshold and handed the palace lantern in her hand to Gong E, who was guarding the door, and said with a smile while leading Jiang Ying to the inner hall.

Jiang Ying was very surprised when she heard this. couldn't help asking: "The queen mother held a birthday banquet this time, I don't know how many people came to celebrate her birthday?" ”

If the feast is set up in the inner sanctum, how many tables can be set?

Xin'er glanced at her with a smile and said, "The girl will find out later." ”

Jiang Ying was puzzled, and followed her towards the inner hall.

Through a screen and beaded curtains, the sound of women's laughter could be faintly heard in the inner hall, but it did not seem to be mixed.

After Xin'er went in to say goodbye first, the laughter in the room stopped, and she heard the woman's voice like a morning breeze: "Ah Ying is here, come in quickly, you don't have to stick to these false courtesies-"

Jiang Ying had a smile on her face, and then took Yunli into the inner hall.

The banquet has been set up in the hall, but the dishes have not yet been served, but the dishes, cups and chopsticks have been arranged.

But what made Jiang Ying stunned was that in the inner hall, which was as empty as usual, there was only this banquet now, and judging by the situation, it seemed that there were only three seats.

Uh, shouldn't it be, just two people, right?

"Let's take a seat soon, there are no outsiders today, it's all a common meal." Concubine Chen said with a smile.

Concubine Chen is also there.

At this time, Jiang Ying realized that this was not to invite two people, but only to invite her!

You must know that when she came, she refreshed the rules taught by Mama Dong, for fear of being rude in front of so many noble ladies and ladies-

Jiang Ying forcibly suppressed the inexplicable embarrassment in her heart and stepped forward to salute, but the queen got up from the couch and quickly supported her who was about to bow down, with a smile between her eyebrows, "You kid is really stubborn, I have told you so many times not to be formal, but you still have to stick to these rules and refuse to let go." ”

As he spoke, he frowned suddenly, and the wrist holding Jiang Ying's forearm used some force slightly, and asked, "Why haven't you seen it for so long, and it seems that you have lost a lot of weight?" ”

Concubine Chen also said on the side: "It's not, look at this thin one, he has no energy, but is he sick?" ”

Jiang Ying only said: "I did have a minor illness a few days ago, but now that I have recovered, Queen Lao and Concubine Chen are worried." ”

"Then why don't you let people pass on a message? Recently, the weather has been getting colder and colder day by day, and you shouldn't have gone out again if you are not in good health...... I don't think I'm sorry to go. The queen said with a worried face.

is a rare beauty in the world, and such a look of self-blame at the moment made Jiang Ying dizzy for a while, and she only felt that she had made a great mistake, so she hurriedly said: "It was after making sure that there was no obstacle, I dared to go out, and I was really cured." He smiled again and said, "Thank you for your concern." ”

I've been telling too many lies about my real physical condition lately, but now it's easy to come and there's no pressure at all.

There was even a moment when even Jiang Ying felt that she was just having a simple illness.

There is no higher level of lying than this, and even oneself can be deceived in the past, let alone others.

The queen really didn't ask more, but repeatedly explained that she must pay attention to her body, while pulling her slowly in the direction of the dining table.

Because she couldn't see, Jiang Ying couldn't rest assured in the end, and in the end, she helped the queen to sit at the dinner table.

Concubine Chen looked at her cautious appearance, and a smile appeared on her face from time to time.

Seeing this, Xin'er explained and began to pass the food, and while waiting, Jiang Ying asked Yunli to come forward and offer a gift.

"It's coming, it's just a light meal, why did you bring a gift?" After the queen asked Xin'er to accept it, she smiled lightly.

"It's not a valuable thing, it's just a piece of ink, the first few times I came to see the queen's mother's ink, I thought that the mother is a person who loves calligraphy, so I dared to vote for the mother's favor."

The queen was slightly stunned when she heard this, and Fang smiled slightly and said, "It's rare that you have such exquisite thoughts...... I like this gift very much. ”

"Look at my sister's partiality, the things sent by Miss Kong haven't even been dismantled, so she said that she was very satisfied." Concubine Chen joked with a smile on the side.

"With this intention, whatever you send is naturally good." When the queen said this, she asked Jiang Ying, "I haven't asked you before, but do you also like to write?" If you like it, I have a collection of a few famous calligraphy here, all of which are things that you can't see outside. But it's only an ornament here, and I can't see or touch it, so why don't you see if you're interested in it later, and take it back to practice—"

Jiang Ying really didn't dare to agree cheekily, so she laughed embarrassedly twice, and politely refused: "Niangniang is in love." But the folk girl is really not good at calligraphy, and she has never been able to use the handwriting. ”

This is already an implicit statement.

She had long since given up treatment, so it was better not to tarnish the celebrities.

The queen was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help laughing: "You gave me a special trip to give me a piece of ink, and I will also be a person who is good at calligraphy." ”

Jiang Ying hurriedly shook her head.

"I was thinking that I should give some practical gifts, and I saw that the queen liked to practice calligraphy, so I had the idea of sending ink. I don't know if it's good or bad, but I still asked someone who knows how to help Changyan find this piece of ancient ink. She explained embarrassedly.

Concubine Chen's eyes blinked, and she asked jokingly, "I don't know who this person is who helped Miss Kong grow her eyes?" It can't be the second son of the Jin family, right? ”

Jiang Ying smiled again, did not deny it, only said a little uncomfortably: "He knows more." ”

The smile on Concubine Chen's face condensed slightly, but she didn't expect that her nonsense words would be corrected, and after only a moment, the smile on her face became thicker, she looked at the queen, and said meaningfully: "The things that Miss Kong and Jin Gongzi picked together, it must be the best——"

The queen's face pale slightly when she heard this, and the ten fingers on her knees trembled slightly.
