At the end of March, spring finally began to show some warmth, and the willow trees planted by the pond pulled out their delicate willow branches in the late spring scenery, swaying gently in the bright spring sun.

As for other bouquets that should bloom in spring, they have also bloomed, lilacs, rhododendrons, begonias, hibiscus, peach blossoms, walking in the Yongwang Mansion, you can smell the quiet or strong fragrance of flowers everywhere.

The two cherry blossom trees in the courtyard of Jingsi Ju are also in bloom, the flowers are in clusters, fragrant and soft, from time to time you can see pink and white petals falling from the treetops, spreading a splendid and prosperous place, and the swing between the cherry blossom trees has become the favorite place of Lingxi and Yilan, often one swings and one pushes behind, and when swinging to the highest place, the foot can even kick the cherry blossoms on the tree. The two of them are close in age, and they often talk together, and their relationship has always been quite good, and Lingxi's temperament is gentle and quiet, not as calculating as her mother, it is Ling Ruo who has a lot of pity for Lingxi, and specially made a swing for two people to sit together for them to play.

"Taller! Higher! Hehe! On this day, Yilan and Lingxi sat on the swing together, Shui Xiu and Shui Yue pushed one by one, the swing swayed, and the long skirt crossed a graceful arc in mid-air, fluttering like a fairy, as if they were going to return with the wind.

From time to time, Ilan asked Shui Xiu to push harder, and every time she swung to the top, she stretched out her jade feet in soft-soled embroidered shoes to kick the cherry blossoms in the treetops, and the deep or shallow petals fell like rain, and the laughter like silver bells flew in the wind.

Ling Ruo sat in the courtyard while reading a book and drinking tea, looking up at them from time to time laughing and laughing, and after the tea was only half a cup left, he casually handed it to the side and said, "Moyu, go and refill some tea." ”

"Moyu?" Ling Ruo waited for a long time and didn't see Mo Yu take it, his heart was strange, but he looked at it with compassion but saw Mo Yu standing there in a daze, his expression was stunned, and his thoughts didn't know where he had gone.

Ling Ruo shook her head when she saw this, and after the teacup was put down, she called her a few more times, and Mo Yu woke up like a dream and said, "Master, you are called a slave?" ”

"Are you thinking about the thirteenth elder brother again?" Ling Ruo looked at her distressedly, this girl obviously liked it tightly in her heart, but over the years, she was stunned and didn't let Yinxiang know half a word.

Mo Yu sighed faintly, "The thirteenth elder brother has a free and uninhibited temperament, and he can't be restrained the most, and now he is confined in the mansion and cannot be free, so he must be very uncomfortable; The last time the slave maid saw the thirteenth elder brother in the Zongren Mansion, he lost a lot of weight and became haggard. ”

"Don't worry too much, the thirteenth elder brother is the emperor's son, and he will be released in a while, not to mention that this time there are thirteen Fujin with him, it will be fine." Ling Ruozheng was comforting Moyu, and suddenly heard Lingxi calling Amma, and hurriedly followed the sound, and saw Yinzhen standing in the courtyard.

"Fourth Master!" Ling Ruo greeted him and saluted, and as soon as he got up, he found that Yin Zhen's face was gloomy, as if he had something on his mind.

"You guys go play by yourself, I'll talk to your Aunt Ling about something." After saying a word to Lingxi and the others, Yinzhen took Ling Ruo to the main hall and sat down.

In the main hall, there were freshly folded magnolia flowers, with a pleasant fragrance, Ling Ruo took the white jade tea cup handed by Moyu and offered it to Yinzhen with his own hands, "Fourth master, but what's wrong?" ”

Yin Zhen slowly skimmed the foam floating on the tea water with a lid but didn't drink it, and after a long time, he said in a deep voice: "The old thirteenth Chang Fujin has gone......"

Ling Ruo was shocked and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" How can you say that it is gone? What about the kids? "Zhao Jia's and Tong Jia's were pregnant at about the same time, and they should be seven months pregnant at this moment.

"It's all gone." Yin Zhen shook his head gloomily, put the untouched tea cup on the table and said: "Since Yinxiang was grounded, most of the servants in the house have gone, and only a few have left, so some work is inevitable to be done by himself. Originally, he would not have died, but the Thirteenth Elder Brother's Mansion was banned, and no one was allowed to enter without a royal order, so naturally there was no way to invite a doctor. ”

"So it doesn't matter?" Ling Ruo asked in disbelief, although Yinxiang was deposed and banned, he was still the emperor's son after all.

"I heard that the thirteenth man was so anxious that he was going to beat someone, so those people agreed to enter the palace to report, and then invite the imperial doctor to come." Yin Zhen said in a deep voice.

"Human lives are at stake, they don't know how much time they have to delay this time, how can they be in time?" Ling Ruo was also born prematurely at the age of seven months, and it was thanks to Guerjia's family that she invited a doctor to save her life.

"Yes, by the time they returned to Huang Ama and brought the imperial doctor back, it was already too late, not to mention that the child was gone, and it was still very popular, and it didn't take long for Zhaojia to go; According to those who have gone in, the mattress has been soaked with blood, and all eyes can see are a dazzling red. ”

Ling Ruo was speechless, and said after a long time: "How is the thirteenth master?" ”

"What can he do?" Yin Zhen sighed, looked up at the gold-painted pattern on the top and said, "No matter how painful it is, Zhaojia's family and the child will not be able to come back." ”

Although Yinzhen does not have an unforgettable love for Zhaojia's family, after all, they are husband and wife, how can they bear watching their women and children from birth to death!

"Does the emperor know about this matter? Did he say that the thirteenth elder brother would be released? ”

"No, Huang Ama only said that the Zhaojia clan would be buried with the prince's blessing ceremony, and nothing else was said." Yin Zhen rubbed his brows and said, "I also went to ask Huang Ama, but his old man didn't answer. I have a feeling that the thirteenth brother is going to be grounded for a long time this time. ”

"Fourth Master!" Mo Yu, who had been listening silently for a long time, suddenly walked in front of Yinzhen, knelt down and kowtowed, and sobbed: "The slave maid wants to go to the Thirteenth Elder Brother's Mansion and ask the fourth master to be fulfilled." ”

Yin Zhen looked at Mo Yu who was crying in surprise, and after listening to Ling Ruo's explanation, Yin Zhen realized that Mo Yu had silently liked Yin Xiang for so many years, and now she was going to the Thirteen Elder Brothers' Mansion to accompany Yin Xiang, which could be regarded as affectionate and righteous.

Thinking of this, Yin Zhen's face looked a little better, and he looked at Mo Yu's petite body and said: "Huang Ama asked me to select a few capable people in the Internal Affairs Mansion to send to the Thirteen Elder Brothers' Mansion to do things in the past few days, and it is not impossible to place you in it, but Moyu, you have to think clearly, once you enter there, it will not be easy to come out again." To put it mildly, it is possible that you will be trapped in it for the rest of your life, and all you can look up at will always be that small piece of sky. ”

Mo Yu raised his head with a shy but firm smile on his face, "As long as I can accompany the Thirteenth Elder Brother, even if the slave loses all of it and falls into the dark hell forever, I am willing to do so, not to mention that I can have the opportunity to look up at the sky." Ask the fourth master to give the slave and maid this blessing, and the slave and maid will be grateful for your great kindness and virtue in this life! ”

Yin Zhen was slightly moved, and said to Ling Ruo: "Moyu is your girl, whether you go or stay, it's up to you to decide." ”
