That night, the lights in Qinyang Palace were extinguished early, and Zhang Ruolan retreated, lying on the bed with an expressionless face.

Huanyu walked outside the hall with the lantern, and when she stepped down the last step, she couldn't help but glance back worriedly.

Since his master was executed and all his relatives were exiled, Zhou Qingwu has never come to see Zhang Ruolan again.

Not only that, but even the things were sent to the Qinyang Palace again.

For a while, the originally lively Qinyang Palace became as deserted as another cold palace.

Zhang Ruolan never saw any smile on her face anymore.

Huanyu sighed, and when he turned around, he happened to see Qing Shui also walking over with a lantern, so the two of them simply went back with the lantern together.

Qing Shui whispered to Huanyu as he walked, "Sister Huanyu, have you heard?" Chun Wanyi seems to be about to be promoted again. ”

Huanyu was slightly stunned, and asked softly: "The title that was given not long ago, and Wanyi, who was promoted again, want to be promoted again?" ”

Qing Shui nodded, "Yes! I also listened to Xiao Luzi. Yesterday, I went to pick up something for my mother, and I happened to meet Xiao Luzi, listening to what Xiao Luzi said inadvertently, Your Majesty really loves Chun Wanyi! ”

This sounds a little sad, Zhang Ruolan usually treats them well, and almost never punishes them, so during the period when Zhang Ruolan fell out of favor, some of them couldn't help but be a little indignant for Zhang Ruolan.

It's just that this indignation only dares in my heart, after all, this person who called Zhang Ruolan fell out of favor is no one else, but today's His Majesty, Zhou Qingwu.

Who would dare to show dissatisfaction? Unless your head doesn't want it anymore.

Huanyu turned his head to look at Qing Shui and said, "You can't say this when you go out, so that people will hear it and reach Your Majesty's ears, I'm afraid that it will affect our mother and be punished." ”

After saying this, Huanyu paused, and then continued: "Now, it's not as good as before. ”

Qing Shui responded, and said to Huanyu with some grievances: "Well, Sister Huanyu, I know, it's just that our mother has helped Chun Wanyi before, but in our mother's current situation, Chun Wanyi didn't even ask someone to ask." ”

A bitter smile appeared at the corner of Huanyu's mouth, she looked at Qing Shui and said: "This palace has always been high and low, it doesn't matter if you don't help, as long as Chun Wanyi doesn't fall into the well." ”

Qing Shui felt that what Huanyu said was reasonable, it was really nothing if he didn't help his own mother, if he fell into the well for his own mother now, this would be the most fatal.

And at this moment, in the Changchun Palace, Xia Chuli had already changed her bed clothes and sat in front of the bronze mirror, and Zhixue was unloading her head full of pearls.

When the last hairpin was placed on the table, a maid came in and said, "Little lord, Your Majesty has just sent someone to say that you will not come tonight, and tell Niang Niang to rest early." ”

Xia Chuli nodded, "I know, go down!" ”

The maid bowed down and retreated, and Zhi Xue stood behind Xia Chuli while gently combing her hair with a wooden comb, and said to her: "Little master, Concubine Lan, I heard that it is not very good. ”

Xia Chuli looked at the woman in the bronze mirror and asked Zhi Xue, "What's wrong?" ”

Zhi Xue replied softly: "The slave maid heard that in the past, Your Majesty would send someone to send a copy to Concubine Lan even when he ate delicious dishes for dinner, but now not only is this not the case, but even Ling Xuexiang, which has not been broken before, has not been sent to Concubine Lan again." ”

Ling Xuexiang is very rare, and in the entire palace, only Concubine Lan has this honor.

And now, Ling Xuexiang is burning in her Changchun Palace, and in this harem, there is really nothing that can be eternal.

"And then?" Xia Chuli asked lightly, and he was not complacent because of his current favor.

Zhixue has been by Xia Chuli's side for a long time now, and she already has a general understanding of Xia Chuli's character, so it is not surprising to see her such an attitude at this moment.

"Concubine Lan has been washing her face with tears recently, and she seems to be very sad." Zhi Xue said to Xia Chuli: "Do you want to go over and see Concubine Lan?" After all, Concubine Lan also helped us. ”

Hearing this, Xia Chuli turned his head to look at Zhi Xue and said, "Do you think Concubine Lan was helping us at that time?" She is clearly also trying to help herself. ”

After all, after the selection of concubines is over, there will be many new faces in this palace.

Although Concubine Lan has the sole power, who knows what the situation will be when the time comes?

It's hard to be alone, Concubine Lan must have understood this truth, so she helped herself.

"But if the little master doesn't go now, when Concubine Lan turns over in the future, after returning to favor, she will definitely hate the little master." Zhixue persuaded Xia Chuli.

Xia Chuli turned his head and said nothing.

After a long time, Xia Chuli said to Zhixue: "Concubine Lan, she won't turn over, she will only be Concubine Lan in this harem." ”

The protector has been executed, and Zhang Ruolan no longer has a family background to rely on.

"Little Lord." Zhi Xue hesitated for a while and said to Xia Chuli: "The slave maid heard that the evidence that Your Majesty took out in the court at that time, in addition to the evidence given by our general, there is also a part of it that Concubine Lan gave to Your Majesty. ”

Xia Chuli listened to what Zhixue said, and his eyes crossed with surprise: "What? Did Concubine Lan give it to His Majesty? ”

Zhi Xue nodded, "Yes, that's why the slave maid said, it's better for the little master to go to Qinyang Palace for a walk." ”

Xia Chuli was silent for a while, and then said to Zhixue: "Don't worry, I'll think about it again." ”

Even if she wants to see Zhang Ruolan, it depends on whether Zhang Ruolan is willing to see her, after all, now Zhang Ruolan has long disappeared except for dealing with trivial matters in the palace.

If you want to go to Qinyang Palace, you have to choose a suitable reason.

Seeing that Xia Chuli was shaken, Zhi Xue also responded and stopped talking.

In fact, there is no need for Zhixue to tell her, she also knows that Zhang Ruolan's life will not be easy.

In this harem, without the support of his family background and the favor of Zhou Qingwu, he is afraid that he is not as good as an ant.

Zhang Ruolan's only luck is that she still has the right to associate the six palaces, and she also has Concubine Lan, the highest position in the harem today.

It's just that even people who don't come out of Changchun Palace at the beginning of Xia have heard that now Zhang Ruolan has never even been to Bibo Pavilion, which she used to go to every day.

Zhang Ruolan not only never went to Bibo Pavilion again, but also didn't even go out of Qinyang Palace.

Thinking of this, Xia Chuli felt a little pitiful for Zhang Ruolan.

And Zhou Qingwu did not punish Zhang Ruolan together, maybe he really had so much sincerity towards Zhang Ruolan, so he spared Zhang Ruolan's life!
