Lian Zhi'er looked at him straight, but his eyes were clear and flawless, "Okay." ”

The surprise on Ruan Lu's face was endless ecstasy, and even his voice changed, "Are you really willing to go back to the capital with me?" ”

Lian Zhi'er laughed, "Could it be that His Royal Highness the Prince of the World's ears are broken?" ”

Whoever dares to talk to Ruan Lu like this, there is only her in the world, but there is no way for him to hold her.

He reached out and hugged her in his arms, pressed his chin tightly against the top of her head, smelled the smell of osmanthus oil in her hair, and said slowly, "Do you know, I am a person who has done all the bad things, I never dare to ask for your forgiveness, I would rather pay all the price, I only hope that the things that have hurt you have never happened." ”

Her face was pressed against his chest, but he didn't see a sarcastic and mocking smile on her face, and her dark pupils were full of bloodthirsty killing.

——————

After Lian Zhi'er's injuries were completely healed, Ruan Lu moved her to his courtyard, and outsiders saw that she and Shan Qiao were still his slaves.

But Qingqi completely flew up the branch and turned into a phoenix, every day Ruan Lu spoiled her in every way, and the things that rewarded her were piled up all over the house.

After the grandmother was connected, she promoted a woman named Xia Rong, because the men of her family worked here on errands, and she was also a kind and honest person, and she was also very generous to those exiled women.

Qingqi made more and more trouble in the house, and was even harsher with those who served, smashing things every day when he was annoyed.

But after all, she is Ruan Lu's concubine, and everyone doesn't dare to complain, especially Xia Rong's face is sad every day, just afraid that she will not serve this living ancestor well.

Lian Zhi'er and Shan Qiao came over with food. When I passed by the courtyard, I saw Xia Rong walking over with a dirty face, with a blood mark on her forehead, and she was still holding a broken silk in her hand.

When she saw the two of them, she hurriedly gathered her messy sideburns, "It's all because I don't like it, I forgot to send someone over to deliver food to His Royal Highness the Prince, and I bothered the two girls to get it in person." ”

Shan Qiao has never spoken much, and he is cold and indifferent to everyone.

"It was supposed to be our errand." Lian Zhi'er smiled and asked, "Why are all the good things cut?" ”

"Mrs. Qing doesn't like it, she only says that I fool her with bad things." Xia Rong's face was full of anxiety.

"Spring is coming. The brocade in Shu should also be taken out and sold, as long as Mama is willing to take more silver to find it, there will naturally be it. Shan Qiao only said coldly, "That master will definitely like it." ”

"Thank you, girl, for saying that I forgot." Xia Rong smiled and patted her thigh.

The three of them were talking, but they saw a figure suddenly come out of the house, and before they could stand, a teapot smashed at Xia Rong, and the teapot shattered on Xia Rong's calf, and she screamed "oops" in pain and knelt on the ground.

Lian Zhi'er and Shan Qiao were also affected, and the two of them were hit by broken porcelain, and from time to time, a piece of broken porcelain flew close to her cheek, almost ruining her face.

She hurts, but it hurts.

Because she saw hatred on the faces of the women who rushed over.

And the person who threw the thing was Qingqi, but she saw the fire in her eyes, "Old thing, didn't you go to find silk?" Hiding here and being lazy. ”

Xia Rong endured the pain and had a smile on her face, "Yes." I'll go. ”

Qingqi's gaze fell on Lian Zhi'er's body, and suddenly revealed a trace of hatred, but he turned to hide.

Then she turned and went into the house.

Shan Qiao tugged at the corners of his lips, "Keeping her will cause a catastrophe sooner or later, and some things have to be given up sooner or later." ”

Lian Zhi'er understood what she meant, but she didn't say a word from beginning to end.

Only then did he set the meal, but when he saw that Ruan Lu had already returned, his eyebrows were furrowed, as if he had something to worry about, and the fatigue in Lian Zhi'er's eyes gradually dissipated.

Because the river melted, the embankment fell in several places, and many people drowned, so it is no wonder that his face was so ugly.

"Sit down and eat."

Lian Zhi'er looked at the rough old woman waiting outside, and slowly shook her head.

Ruan Lu only glanced around, but he didn't see Qingqi, and there was a little more annoyance in his dark eyes, "What about her?" ”

As soon as her words fell, she saw Su Ke, who was serving in the Qingqi room, walking in, with a little fear in her eyes.

"Your Royal Highness, Mrs. Qing said that she was not feeling well today and would not come to eat."

Ruan Lu smiled, "This son of the world went to see what kind of illness she was." ”

After he finished speaking, he stood up, and only ran to the east wing room before entering the house, but saw Qingqi sitting on the soft couch by the window, and there was a little sick look on his red face.

Hearing the footsteps, she didn't even raise her head, but said in a cold voice, "Has His Royal Highness the Prince said anything?!" ”

"His Royal Highness has come to see you." Ruan Lu tugged at the corners of his lips, his eyes were bright, "Are you happy?" ”

Qingqi sat up in surprise and looked at him with a little trepidation, "His Royal Highness." ”

Ruan Lu's smile became more and more gloomy, "It seems that you are becoming more and more ignorant, if you don't eat, this son will guarantee that you can't afford to be sick, if there is something good to die......"

She sat on the ground dejectedly, "Your Royal Highness, you tell the concubine, why do you treat the concubine like this, obviously you hate the concubine so much, but you treat me tenderly and sweetly in front of people." ”

Ruan Lu looked at him condescendingly, with a cold look in his gloomy eyes, "Because you are still useful." ”

After saying that, he slowly reached out, slowly helped her up, put his arms around her slender waist, and walked out of the house.

When he came down the steps, he still smiled gently, "Be careful, don't fall." ”

Everyone else was extremely envious when they saw it, His Royal Highness really liked this concubine.

However, when they entered Ruan Lu's house, everyone only retreated, leaving only Lian Zhi'er to serve in the house.

But soon Lian Zhi'er sat next to Ruan Lu, while Qingqi was waiting aside, she bit her lip and looked at the two people who were eating, the hatred in her eyes became more and more intense.

At night, Qingqi stayed outside again.

After lingering, Lian Zhi'er closed his eyes. It seems to be asleep.

Ruan Lu saw that her arms were very cold, so he took the brocade quilt and covered her for her, but suddenly thought of something and said, "How about I take you around the city tomorrow?" ”

Lian Zhi'er slowly opened her eyes, "Okay." ”

Seeing her so weak, Ruan Lu couldn't help but feel very distressed, and only said, "When you return to the capital, you have to raise it well, and the Ruan family is still waiting for you to have an heir." ”

Lian Zhi'er's cheeks were crimson, "Whoever loves to give birth will give birth." ”

Ruan Lu laughed.

Qingqi outside heard the faint laughter in the house, and his whole body was trembling, so he put on his clothes and walked outside the house.

Obviously, the cold winter has passed, but she still can't help but shiver, and her teeth "gurgle".

She stood in the backyard for a long time before she heard footsteps behind her, and slowly turned her head, but saw a black shadow, but she had already recognized it, it was Fushuang.

"Why is Madame here? Has His Royal Highness the Prince slept? Fushuang's voice was a little hoarse, even a little painful.

"Ma'am? Hahaha......" She suddenly laughed, knowing that her eyes were full of tears, she said slowly, "I'm just a joke, he hasn't touched me for half a minute these days, and it's the county lord who sleeps on your family's couch." ”

Fushuang was stunned for a moment, looking at Qingqi with pity.

"You know why, don't you?" Her gaze instantly became grim, "Fushuang." You tell me. ”

Fushuang couldn't bear to hide it from her anymore, so he had to say, "The eldest princess has always hated concubines, and I'm afraid that she will send someone to check your identity, and at that time, ......"

It turned out that she actually brought the top jar for others.

"Fushuang, you like me, right, I know your thoughts." Qingqi suddenly smiled coquettishly, with a bit of cunning, and then went up and kissed Fushuang's cold lips.

————

Because in the spring, there are more people entering the city than in the past, or selling spring bamboo shoots, fish and shrimp, all over the streets and alleys.

Ruan Lu walked to the street with Qingqi, and Lian Zhi'er followed behind, but the three of them still attracted the attention of countless people.

Lian Zhi'er didn't know what Ruan Lu wanted to buy, so she just walked around indiscriminately, and walked straight to a jewelry store, Ruan Lu said, "I have some things to do, you can just pick them, if you like something, just take it." ”

When he said this, his eyes fell on Lian Zhi'er's face, with a bit of doting.

After saying that, he left in a hurry, as if there was really something waiting for him to deal with.

Qingqi has been cowardly, only walked over to pick up silk, the guy saw her brocade clothes, it must be the young lady of the big family, busy and courteous, a bunch of people around her desperately introduced.

Lian Zhi'er was bored. Just looked at it casually, and when his eyes fell on the silver jewelry, his gaze suddenly changed.

When she walked over and picked up the gold collar with the totem, even her voice changed, "Where did you come from?" ”

One of the guys couldn't get up to Qingqi, so he hurriedly walked to Lian Zhi'er's eyes, "This is a new collar made by Beiliang, and it has just arrived, if you wait for the next batch, I'm afraid it will be next month." ”

It's been a long time since I've heard anything about Bei Liang, and her voice has become hoarse, "You guys went to Bei Liang?" ”

The peddler smiled secretly, lowered his voice and said, "Where can I use it, naturally there are people from Beiliang who sent it over, that person is from the Beiliang Royal Court, you look at this pattern, but it is only used by Wang Sun." ”

"How is Bei Liang now?" Lian Zhi'er asked slowly, unable to hide the tremor in her voice.

"Now Beiliang is just the control of orphans and widows. Although there is the younger brother of the former King of Beiliang in charge of the army, the people in the royal court are scattered, and there is no glory in the past. ”

Lian Zhi'er's heart was like a knife, "Are the princess and the little prince okay?" ”

"I heard that the princess is suffering from a stubborn disease, but she is not clear, but I am afraid that time is running out." Lian Zhi'er only felt that the sky was spinning for a while, and his eyes were also white, as if he couldn't see anything.

And at this moment, she saw the pen and ink on the table, "Can you let me write a letter, wait for the person from Beiliang to come, and ask him to bring it to Princess Beiliang?" ”

The man's gaze fell on Lian Zhi'er's face in surprise, but he saw Lian Zhi'er reach out and take off the chain on his wrist, "Thank you." ”

The guy looked at the pearl on the bracelet, which was bigger than a fingernail, and he was also a person who had seen the world, so he naturally knew that this thing was worth a thousand gold, so he became greedy for a while and asked Lian Zhi'er to write a letter.

This thing was bought by Ruan Lu for her, and she just happened to have it with her today.

Lian Zhi'er bought some more to clean up, and when Ruan Lu came back, he rarely took it over with interest and took a look, and only sighed, "The things here are just some obscene goods, how can they be worthy of you, just play with them in the future, if you wear them, you will lose the face of the son of this world." ”

Ruan Lu suddenly lifted her sleeves again, but saw that there was nothing on her thin white arm, so she frowned. "What about the bracelet? Why don't you wear it? ”

Lian Zhi'er's face was still calm, "It's too precious, if you lose it, won't you feel distressed, I can't bear it." ”

Ruan Lu smiled, "You stupid girl, not all the things in the Eldest Princess's Mansion will be yours in the future, you are so stingy, you must also be a good housekeeper, it seems that you have found the right person." ”

————

After returning in the evening. Lian Zhi'er's feet were red and swollen again, which was an old wound from the past.

After she bathed and changed her clothes, she saw Ruan Lu sitting on the couch, her face was light, and the clothes on her body were still neatly dressed, as if she was thinking about something, but Lian Zhi'er suddenly felt that something was wrong.

She stepped forward slowly, trying to reach out and take off the heavy burqa for him, but his cold hand grabbed her wrist tightly.

His knuckles were very hard, and in an instant her wrists were bright red. Even her face turned pale.

Ruan Lu slowly lifted her sleeve with his other hand, "Go and bring that bracelet with you." ”

Lian Zhi'er held her breath, and her voice was very low, "It's so late, wait for tomorrow, I will definitely take it tomorrow." ”

"Go get it and bring it." His voice grew cold.

Lian Zhi'er gritted her teeth and said slowly, "I lost it somehow some time ago, and I don't know how to tell His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

His gaze became cold in an instant, and he grabbed her chin, "Lost?" It just so happens that this son has found it back for you, can you see if it's your one? ”

With that, he pulled out an unopened letter from his sleeve, along with the bracelet.

She threw herself on her knees, almost trembling, and couldn't say a word of justification for a long time, just a pitiful appearance, but she couldn't get rid of Ruan Lu's anger.

"Is that all you want to leave? actually asked people to bring letters to Beiliang? There was pain in his voice, "If this letter arrives in Beiliang, we will never see each other in this life, are you lying to me if you say that you want to go to the capital with me?" ”

Lian Zhi'er suddenly understood, raised his eyes, and looked straight at his angry face, "It was all designed by His Royal Highness the Prince of the World at the beginning, just waiting for me to drill into the trap, right?" You already knew that the shop had collusion with the people of Beiliang. ”

"Yes, but weren't you fooled?" He sneered.

Lian Zhi'er wiped the tears from her face, her eyes fell on the unopened envelope, and she said slowly, "Since His Royal Highness the Prince has done this, why don't you open the letter and take a look?" ”

With tears in her eyes, she looked only at him.

The reason why Ruan Lu didn't open the letter was because she was afraid, afraid that every word on it would cut her heart like a scimitar.

Obviously he had treated her so well, why did she still want to leave?

Lian Zhi'er walked over slowly, but tore open the letter and handed it to Ruan Lu, "His Royal Highness the Prince has seen it, if you think I deserve to die, just reward me with a white silk or a glass of wine." That's it. ”

After saying that, she walked away slowly, her weak back was a little pitiful, and Ruan Lu's heart softened in an instant.

Ruan Lu's eyes still looked at the paper slowly, but he saw that the pen was resolute, and it looked like a man's handwriting, which must have been written by the guy in the shop.

And when he saw the contents of the letter, his face was full of remorse for a moment.

She just asked the guy to write a letter, never mentioning that she was still alive, only saying that the county lord of Beiliang was dead, and someone had collected the bones for her, so that the princess should not worry about it anymore.

He wronged her.

Ruan Lu hurriedly rushed out of his house, walked to her door, and only plucked up the courage to knock on the door for a long time, "Lian Zhi'er, I wronged you, if you are annoyed, even if you kill me with a knife, it is all my fault." ”

It was the first time in his life that he had made amends to someone, and even he felt unbelievable when he said it.

Lian Zhi'er sat in the house. There was a little grievance in a pair of clear eyes, and the corners of her lips were slightly hooked, with endless mockery.

Ruan Lu was smart but was mistaken by cleverness, and she had already seen that the guy had told a lie.

Although those silver ornaments were in the style of the royal court, the workmanship was extremely rough, and those nobles would not have these things. Besides, Beiliang does not allow the people to use the royal totem, these things are naturally made by the people of the Central Plains privately, and then lie that they are from Beiliang.

And Ruan Lu brought her over, obviously with ill intentions, she was no longer like the stupid Lian Zhi'er before, who was tricked like that.

Lian Zhi'er looked at the figure outside the window, but she didn't move her feet at all.

Ruan Lu saw that the room had been quiet, and he only thought that she was uncomfortable in her heart, and only hated that she shouldn't have calculated her like this, so that there was a gap between the two people.

"I'll just wait here, don't be annoyed." There was a tremor in his voice.

Lian Zhi'er only sat on a chair, drinking cold tea, I don't know how many hours passed, it was dark and quiet outside, and there was no movement at all.

Lian Zhi'er walked over slowly and opened the door.

But under the cold moonlight, Ruan Lu was leaning against the plum tree in the courtyard, his dark eyes were extremely dazzling, "Angry?" ”

As long as Lian Zhi'er was annoyed, he turned around to close the door, but unexpectedly he came up a few steps, locked the door, and then hugged her in his arms.

"Let go, you let go." Lian Zhi'er began to cry.

"I will never doubt you again in the future, don't worry, no one in this world will dare to hurt you again, not even me." He hugged it so tightly, as if he was afraid that she would run away.
