Jiarou has always liked this brother of a similar age, so although he rejected him, he still didn't walk away, but sang softly. Jiarou's voice is very immature, but there is a power that touches people's hearts inexplicably, which makes people want to listen to it all the time, and even Hongzhan is surprisingly silent.

The ballad was very short, and it was finished after a while, Jiarou shook Hongzhan's hand and said, "Sixth brother, is it good?" ”

Hongzhan was silent for a while, then suddenly picked up the sandbag on the table and hit Jiarou hard, and said, "Don't listen to what I said, you're so annoying, go away!" ”

His action made Jiarou immediately pouting and crying, ran into Ling Ruo's arms, and said loudly: "I hate the sixth brother, I hate it!" ”

Ling Ruo didn't expect Hongzhan to suddenly get into trouble, and comforted him distressedly: "Good, don't cry, your sixth brother didn't mean it, don't cry!" ”

Maybe it was Hongzhan's actions that hurt Jiarou's heart, she kept crying and refused to stop, in desperation, Ling Ruo could only let Shui Xiu carry Jiarou out, and the other palace people were also sent out by her.

When only she and Hongzhan were left in the inner hall, Hongzhan suddenly shouted: "You go out, I don't know anything, and I don't want to see you!" Ling Ruo's questioning like that at the beginning made his ear injury worse, leaving him with a deep and frightening impression, making him reluctant to have too much contact with Ling Ruo.

Ling Ruo said patiently: "Sixth Elder Brother, this palace is here today, not because I want you to do anything, but because I have something to discuss with you, can you listen to this palace first?" ”

"I don't listen, I don't listen to anything!" He covered his ears vigorously and shook his head vigorously, which showed how much he resisted Ling Ruo.

Although Ling Ruo was a little unhappy, he also knew that he was the most innocent and pathetic in the whole matter, so he didn't say anything, but waited for Hongzhan to calm down before he said, "This matter is related to your aunt, don't you want to hear it?" ”

"She's not my aunt! No! Hongzhan was once again excited to resist, even more than just now, but Ling Ruo saw that behind such resistance, there was endless sadness and sadness.

In addition to the Liu family, the Guerjia family, who has raised him for more than a year, must be the closest person to him, but it is this close person who has added punches and kicks to him, and even broke his eardrums alive, even if it has been several days since the incident, the shadow has been lingering, and even turned into a nightmare that haunts him every night.

And every time he woke up from a nightmare, he would cry very sadly, he didn't understand anything, just that one sentence, why did the Guerjia clan beat him crazy, that look, and even wanted to beat him to death.

He was afraid, really afraid, and sometimes he didn't even dare to sleep, he didn't dare to close his eyes, because he was afraid of having that nightmare again.

"Sixth elder brother, can you listen carefully to what Bengong has to say?" At this moment, Ling Ruo even pleaded a little, I don't know if Hongzhan heard it, in short, he gradually quieted down, and sat in the chair silently as before, like a lifeless doll.

Ling Ruo took a deep breath and said, "You have always remembered that Concubine Jin scolded you and injured you, so do you know why Concubine Jin beat you?" ”

Hongzhan raised his head suddenly, it was hard to imagine that there was such a big resentment in the eyes of a little child, and he only listened to him say word by word: "Because she doesn't want me to return to Eniang, she wants me to stay by her side all the time and be her son." ”

"Yes, Concubine Jin does want you to stay by her side, but think about it, it's not the first time that you have said that you want to return to Liu's side in more than a year, has Concubine Jin ever beaten you or scolded you?"

Hongzhan opened his mouth, wanting to say something to refute, but he searched all over his little head, and he couldn't think of it, even when he made more trouble before, Concubine Jin never scolded him.

Seeing that Hongzhan didn't speak, Ling Ruo said again: "So, what you said is not a reason at all, do you want to know the real reason why Concubine Jin beat you?" ”

Hongzhan looked at her and didn't speak, but there was already a sense of wavering in her eyes, but she was still hesitating, and Ling Ruo didn't urge, after all, she was too eager at this time, and it was likely to backfire.

After a full quarter of an hour, Hongzhan finally jumped out of his chair and said a simple word, "Okay." ”

Seeing him like this, Ling Ruo's nose was sour, Hongzhan was originally a very lively and lovely child, especially under the careful training and love of the Guerjia clan, but an accident made him become taciturn, and even communicating with others became a problem.

Ling Ruo asked Shui Xiu to carry Jiarou back to Chengqian Palace first, and she herself took Hongzhan to Xianfu Palace. When the familiar palace appeared in sight, Hongzhan suddenly stopped, his heart beat faster than ever, and he wanted to enter but did not dare to enter.

In those days in the Heart Cultivation Palace, he sometimes even thought that if he hadn't said those words that night, maybe nothing would have happened.

"Let's go, let's go inside." In the face of Ling Ruo's words, Hongzhan did not move, but said, "Why did you bring me here?" ”

"Didn't you want to find out why Concubine Jin beat you, but come and ask her, how do you know." After that, she deliberately said: "What's the matter, are you afraid?" ”

Hongzhan didn't speak, just walked in, but looking from behind, he could clearly see that the small body was trembling slightly, as if it would be overwhelmed by fear at any moment.

As soon as he walked into Xianfu Palace, Hongzhan saw Congxiang and a few of them running after Guerjia's family, Guarjia's hair was unkempt, his clothes were messy, and he didn't even tie the buttons, and what was even more excessive was that he didn't wear shoes on his feet, and he was running barefoot on the hot bluestone ground, without the appearance of a palace concubine at all.

"What's wrong with her?" Hongzhan asked Ling Ruo beside him, his eyes were full of doubts, even if he didn't understand it, he knew that there was something wrong with the Guerjia clan in front of him.

"After that night, she started to go crazy, she didn't have her normal thinking, she became a madman, to put it simply, she became a madman."

The doubt in Hongzhan's eyes deepened, "Why?" ”

At this time, Guerjia saw Hongzhan, his dazed and unfocused eyes lit up suddenly, rushed to Hongzhan, held him firmly in his arms without saying anything, and shouted: "Hongzhan, my child, you are finally back, I finally see you again, my child!" ”

Madmen cry and laugh, but they cry without tears, more often than not, it is a wail, but at this moment, there are big tears falling from Guarga's eyes.

Hongzhan was taken aback by her actions, and then began to struggle violently, he was afraid, afraid that it would be the same as that day, so although he was here, he still resisted the Guerjia clan very much.
