It was already dusk, but most of the huge palace had not yet been visited.

"Lords, it's time for dinner." The attendant said respectfully.

"I see, let's go back. After dinner tonight, I can go back to the garden with my brother. ”

"Okay."

"Oops! My ankle hurts. ”

"What's wrong? Let me see. Seeing Yun'er's face suddenly shrink in pain, Mi Frame hurriedly leaned over and hugged her, and soothed softly.

"Shizi, Miss Xu has walked a lot today, and some of the old ......injuries are involved," Yue Hui, who had been following the two of them, hurriedly stepped forward to explain when she saw this.

"It's no big deal, Brother Mitsuga." Yun'er gestured with her eyes to stop Yuehui from speaking, while hurriedly explaining to Mi Frame.

"Old wounds? When did it hurt? Ignoring Yun'er's obstruction, Mi Frame lifted the hem of Yun'er's long skirt, and the white silk socks on her ankles were a little red.

"It's just that I met a group of assassins from the Chen Kingdom on the way back from Xia Guo, and I was accidentally injured while escaping, and it's really okay."

Mi Frame got up and looked at Yun'er with pity in her eyes. "How can it be okay? Obviously I was injured, but I didn't say it, but I wanted to take me for such a long time. It's a wound right now, and it hurts, right? How can you keep me from worrying? ”

"Brother Miji, I was wrong. Don't blame me, okay? Yun'er also wants to spend more time with her brother. ”

Before Yun'er could react, she was already picked up by Mi Frame. Yun'er looked at Mi Frame's cold side face and lowered her head shyly.

"If I knew that you were injured, I would talk to you in the house, and it would be better for you to suffer like this."

"Brother Mi Frame......

"That's it, you pee like this, and you never want to talk about small injuries and pains. But you're a girl, and you're getting older, so you should always take care of yourself. ”

"However, I still have you, Brother Mijiao, and it is enough for you to take care of Yun'er."

Listening to Yun'er's soft voice, Mi Jian became even more distressed, and the warm hand on Yun'er's shoulder became tighter, and his tone was no longer eager.

"But what will you do when we can't be together in the coming days? Yun'er, don't do this in the future. ”

"Hmm. Okay, though, I'm going to put the river lanterns in a few days. At that time, my brother is not allowed to cheat. ”

"Don't cheat, you have to take care of your body, and when your injuries are healed, we will go."

The attendants behind him rarely saw Yun'er's attitude like her daughter's family, and they couldn't help but laugh secretly.

Mi Jian carried Yun'er back to the side hall of Luanfeng Palace, and before he entered the door, Lu Xuan's voice came from behind him, "Yun'er, what's wrong?" Why did you let Mi Frame come back all the way, and this is going to be lost before you pass the door? ”

Mi Frame and Yun Er were a little stunned, in a hurry, Yun Er broke free from Mi Frame by herself, jumped to the ground, but touched the wound, couldn't help but sigh, and suddenly bared her teeth and grinned, Seeing this, Mi Frame on the side hurriedly went to help, but was quickly stopped by Fang Hua's hand who came in a hurry, and could only stand aside.

"Yun'er, is this injured? When was this? Lu Xuan's brows tightened.

"Back to Your Highness, Miss was injured by the assassin of the Tatsu Kingdom on the way back." Yueyi heard the sound, rushed out of the palace, and knelt at Lu Xuan's feet respectfully.

"Fanghua, why don't you report such a thing?"

"This, this, the slave and maid don't know at all! Yueyi didn't tell the slave, and the slave ......"

"Lord Fanghua, the slave swears to the sky, the slave and maid clearly told you about this matter, you hastily sent someone to prescribe medicine and left under the pretext of being busy with affairs, and did not appease you after returning to the palace." Yueyi paused and raised her head sideways. "Why should a slave lie about such a thing? The young lady was wronged, and according to her temperament, she was reluctant to say it. But this can't be reprimanded for this in vain, right? ”

"You little hoof, you are not ashamed! Dare to ......do this in front of His Royal Highness" Fanghua was a little annoyed, she hurriedly came to Yueyi, and was about to argue when she was stopped by Lu Xuan.

"Fanghua, Gu Suri is not like this when I see you. This seems to be really annoyed and angry, your affairs are complicated, and it is normal to forget some things occasionally, but it is not appropriate to forget Yun'er's affairs. ”

Lu Xuan said it to Fanghua, but looked at Yun'er with a calm face.

"However, Yun'er still has to remember, how can Fanghua say that she is also a person from Luanfeng Palace, you understood this Li'er seven years ago, right?"

"Of course, Auntie." Yun'er is that obedient look again, this look has been seen countless times in the past, and it makes people's hearts ache uncontrollably.

"Now that you understand, pack up your things and go back to the garden after you have eaten with Mi Frame. These days, Gu has to prepare for the expedition, and Fanghua is afraid that there will be someone who will not take care of it. Your injury, don't you care, right? ”

"Don't worry, my aunt has always taught Yun'er to have a man's perseverance, Yun'er should keep it in mind and never forget it."

"That's great." After Lu Xuan finished speaking, she looked at Mi Frame, who had been supporting Yun'er by the side, and a strange smile flashed in her eyes when she saw Mi Frame's hand holding Yun'er.

"Mi frame, ten days will be your birthday, and then you will enter the palace again. Before the war, in order to hide people's eyes, your father still needs to continue to cultivate in the Chen Kingdom. When this battle is over, the orphan society will make other arrangements to ensure the safety of your father, and it will not treat your father and son badly. ”

After Lu Xuan finished speaking, he raised his hand to signal Fanghua who was kneeling, Fanghua hurriedly got up and took his clothes towards Mi Frame and Yun'er, and helped Lu Xuan to leave slowly.

"Miss, how are you?" Yueyi saw them walking away, and got up to help Yun'er, who was trembling slightly, regardless of the soreness in her knees.

"Alright, is dinner ready?" Yun'er tried to take a step, and then gasped.

Mi frame can't see it, and then hug the rhyme again. "Don't be reckless, let me rest assured, how can I rest assured?"

"Shizi, Miss, Miss also has a hard time." Yueyi couldn't help but lower her voice and said.

Mi Frame glanced down at Yun'er, but Yun'er still had the same expression, just put the hand on his shoulder and patted it gently.

"Don't say it, I'm hungry."

The dinner was extremely dull, and the dishes were far less delicious than the few side dishes cooked by the queen herself.

Until she got into the carriage, Yun'er was still faint, and she wanted to speak several times, but Yun'er's cold expression was suffocated.

The carriage staggered back to the garden, Yun'er struggled to walk back by herself, but the blood that Yin had soaked through the silk stockings, and she could only be carried back to Qiyun Pavilion by Mi Frame.

"Brother Mi Frame, send it here, I have Yueyi and others to serve here. Yueyi, hurry up and send Brother Mi Frame back to Qiuliang Courtyard. ”

"Yes. Shizi should go back and rest early. There are slaves and maids here to take care of you, and you are still not at ease? Yueyi didn't give Mi Frame the slightest chance to ask questions, and pushed him out of the door.

"Shizi, Fanghua's people are staring at it."

Mi Frame looked at Yueyi's nervous eyes, and suddenly understood a little.

"In that case, I take my leave. Take good care of your young lady. Mi Frame patted Yueyi's shoulder and turned to leave.

After Mi Frame left, Yueyi waited for Yun'er to take medicine. The silk socks were covered with blood, and there was some adhesion to the wound, and the gauze that was originally wrapped had already merged with the sock glue at this moment.

Yun'er frowned, panting heavily, big drops of sweat pouring out of her forehead, her hands clutching the hem of her skirt tightly, but she rarely let out a soft moan.

"Miss, if you feel bad, cry. This medicine burns people tightly, and when you apply it, you are afraid that it will be even harder. ”

Yueyi gently brushed the sweat beads from Yun'er's face with a handkerchief, and Wen Yan said with relief.

"I, I'm fine, Yueyi, you move faster, I'm very tired today."

Yun'er's voice trembled, and the moment the medicine was applied, her whole body subconsciously shrunk into a ball, and her clothes were soaked with cold sweat.

After tossing for a long time, Yun'er could sleep, Yueyi extinguished the flickering candle flame, and the house was silent.

Outside Qiyun Pavilion, a figure squatted for a long time, and finally got up and left.

In the palace, Lu Xuan finished handling the day's government affairs and changed his clothes and bathed under Fanghua's service.

The candlelight in the bathroom flickered, warm and luxurious.

Lu Xuan was half-lying in the bath, and Fanghua slowly massaged her bare back with essential oils.

"Today's events will be suppressed. Tell me about you, after following Lonely for so many years, you can still be put on a bad trick by a little girl. Lu Xuan closed his eyes and his voice was lazy.

"Slave, slave and maid are also for you." Fanghua said aggrievedly.

"Lone is knowing that you are for Lonely, so I will remind you and protect you. However, Yun'er is really not simple, at a young age, she is really bold. You say, she believes in Gu more, or Xu Yan? ”

"The slave maid thinks that when she looks at it today, she should trust Xu Yan more."

"No, you're wrong. She doesn't believe in anyone, and the only thing she believes in is the restoration of the country. So, you don't need to worry about her going to fly with Mi Frame. Since she knew that this assassination had nothing to do with Chenguo, she still had to design it out to show Gu in front of her face to test Gu. This girl is lonely and not raised in vain. ”

"So, Your Highness is saying that let her and Lin Shizi go, but you ...... last night"

"It's not that they are permissive, it's that they are not destined to last long. Fanghua, the water is cold, the boy who is sleeping tonight is ready, right? ”

"It's all ready. Your Highness, get up quickly. ”

Lu Xuan opened his eyes, and a smile mixed with lust appeared on his face.

In the middle of the night, Yueyi heard Yun'er's soft call, hurriedly opened her eyes, and asked in a daze, "Miss, what do you want?" ”

"Water."

"Oh, slave and maid, go now." When Yue Yi heard this, she wiped her face with her hand, and she was a lot more sober. She got up quietly and poured warm longan soup from the small table in front of the bed to Yun'er.

Yun'er took advantage of the moonlight, reached out to take it, raised her head and finished drinking, handed over the soup bowl with one hand, and took the handkerchief handed by Yueyi with the other. Wiped his mouth slightly.

After some tossing, Yueyi's sleepiness was dispelled by seven or eight points, and she propped up a few embroidered pillows and helped Yun'er to lean on them.

"The assassination that day has been severed from Chenguo. Nowadays, everyone must be wondering who it is? My aunt obviously won't take the initiative to harm me, and Mrs. Xu Yan has no position on her side. However, my aunt's reaction today was apparently informed. ”

"Miss, the slave maid thinks that even if the princess didn't do this in the eyes of the world now, she can't escape it."

"Why?"

"Miss, you were brought up by the princess, and some things are difficult to tell. But in this matter, the slave and maid, an outsider, can see it more clearly. The princess has raised you, but over the years, you have learned far more than ordinary girls have learned. ”

"I don't know any of this. I have been burdened with the hatred of Ningguo since I was born, and although my aunt has been favored over the years, it is difficult for me to get rid of these hatreds after all. If she truly regarded me as her own, she would have shielded me from all pain, but she never did. ”

Yun'er said, looking at Yueyi, with a strong melancholy spreading in her eyes.

"In front of my aunt, I can only be a well-behaved and ingratiating woman. Let her control me at all times, so that she can be good to Xia Guo. ”

"Miss, you, you are still young, you still have the opportunity to be with the son, you don't need to carry this."

Yueyi was sad for a while, and didn't know how to comfort Yun'er.

"Even if I marry him, I am also a member of the Xia Kingdom, and I will do my best for the recovery of my Ning Kingdom after all. My aunt and His Majesty pee and told me that it was my responsibility. Yueyi, you know, I wanted to forget countless times, but it wasn't until I had to be assassinated that I realized that I couldn't stay out of it. ”

"The slave understands."

"Brother Mi Frame should be worried tonight, wait for you to go to his room and explain this matter." Yun'er moved her ankle slightly. "This medicine is really good, it won't hurt anymore."

"Miss, then you go to sleep, the slave will go later."

"Hmm."

Yueyi carefully placed Yun'er back on the couch, watched Yun'er sleep peacefully, put on her cloak, and quietly walked out of the courtyard from the back door to Qiuliang Courtyard.
