The drum of the three watches, the eaves of the arch, the Da'an Palace of Biwa Zhu Yong only has a silent outline, the upright and magnificent palace gradually disappears into invisible in the dark night, only the dim palace lamp under the eaves of the Xuande Palace sways and flickers slightly, illuminates the place for the palace people who keep vigil.

The wind-blown door of the palace shook slightly, lifting the scroll in front of the case, and the scroll that Emperor Zhaoren pressed with his fingers fell into deep memories unconsciously.

Yang Dean stood aside, and sighed secretly, if the Imperial Concubine was still there, the emperor would be happier than now, but unfortunately, the Imperial Concubine was dead, nothing was left, and the emperor didn't even see her deathbed. I can only occasionally take out this "Linjiang Snow" and talk about it.

"You say, did Ah Xue resent the Lin family in her heart?"

The emperor who was deeply immersed in memories suddenly spoke up, Yang Dean hurriedly came back to his senses, bowed down and said: "Respect the imperial concubine is kind and mellow, the Lin family is her maiden family after all......"

Emperor Zhaoren was silent for a long time, and finally sighed: "Settle it." ”

………………

In the inner hall of the deep palace, Concubine Chen, who was also from the Lin Mansion, had not yet rested, she was wrapped in a golden moire, and the white peony embroidered on the corner of her skirt loomed as she walked. The fourteenth princess stayed by her side and said, "Mother, why do you always persuade the third uncle to split the family, if that's the case, the big house is really hopeless." ”

"The big house has long been gone." Concubine Chen's face showed coldness: "If it weren't for your third uncle's hard support, the Rongguo Mansion would have been defeated a long time ago!" Even now, the Rongguo Mansion is only an empty shell, and there is no face left, so it is better to disperse earlier. ”

"What the mother concubine said is angry, if the Rongguo Mansion is dispersed, it will not be good for you."

"Hmph, it is said that the mother's family is the backer of the woman, but the mother has already seen through it. The Rongguo Mansion is just a devil's cave that is corrupted to the end, a drag oil bottle that can't be shaken off, and this family business will be ruined sooner or later. ”

"Mother?" The fourteenth princess was a little frightened, for many years, the mother concubine had no attachment to the Rongguo Mansion, and was even full of hatred and spurt, she never understood why.

"There are things you don't know and don't need to know. This palace is your home, and the future princess's mansion is your home, but the Rongguo Mansion is not. Your only backer is your father, and the only thing you need to do is to maintain your father's favor for you. ”

"Mother...... Erchen vaguely heard that his father loves Erchen because of his son's appearance and the deceased respect for the imperial concubine, my fifth aunt is somewhat similar...... "She grew up in the deep palace since she was a child, and she has heard a lot of gossip, of course, she also understands that many things are not groundless, there must be a basis, not to mention that she has seen the "Linjiang Snow" on her father's desk, and her fifth aunt, the name of the boudoir is Lin Jiangxue.

Concubine Chen lowered her head and was silent when she heard this, and faint tears appeared in her eyes.

Seeing this, the fourteenth princess hurriedly admitted her mistake: "Mother, the retainer shouldn't say such a thing......"

Concubine Chen restrained her sadness when she heard this, chuckled, and said, "You don't have to mind, who in this palace doesn't know that the emperor is nostalgic and respectful of the imperial concubine?" The mother concubine knows better than anyone else in her heart, but don't worry, the mother concubine never minds the woman next to your father......"

The fourteenth princess felt that her mother had something to say and wanted to ask again, but Concubine Chen said, "It's not early, rest in peace." ”

The fourteenth princess had no choice but to suppress her curiosity and go to sleep in the side hall. Lying in the soft brocade quilt, she asked Yanling: "Why do the mother concubine and the father hate the Rongguo Mansion so much?" ”

Yanling said in a panic: "The princess should sleep peacefully, how can the slave know about these things?" ”

"Well...... the fourteenth princess turned over, and saw that there was already light in the sky, but she still didn't feel sleepy, and said, "I heard that Mr. Ruan lived in Qing's house, and he also accepted Miss Qing as a disciple......

Of course, Yanling understood what she meant, and asked euphemistically, "Does the princess want to talk to Miss Qing?" ”

"I haven't seen her for a long time since the last incident, I don't know how she learned to paint, I heard that she likes to draw insects......" The fourteenth princess said with a smile: "This eldest girl is really interesting." ”

"The slave maid also thinks that Miss Qing is very good, but I have heard that Miss Qing is sick again......"

"Sick?" The fourteenth princess turned over and said, "I looked good before, why am I sick again?" ”

"I don't know why, but it's not surprising that Miss Qing has been weak since she was a child, and her condition has come and gone."

"Well, then tomorrow your next post, go to the library to pick up some good medicinal materials, let's go see her."

"Yes, Princess."

………………

Sitting alone on the steps, impatience and anxiety are gradually abandoned.

Qing Ruxu locked herself in the yard and pretended to be sick for the past few days, and gradually figured it out. No matter whether others treat her true or false, good or bad, as long as she herself has a clear conscience, there is no need to punish herself with the fault of others. If anyone is kind to her, she will repay her, and if anyone wants to harm her, she should pay it back!

Lan Zhou came over with the medicine, and when he saw that her sorrow was gradually dissipating, he relieved himself and said; "Girl, this is today's medicine."

Qing Ruxu came to the front and sniffed it, and said, "Today's medicine is also good for you?" ”

"Yes, the slave has never left for half a step!"

"Well, still put some in the porcelain vase and mark it." She took out the prescription from her sleeve and said, "Send the medicine of the past few days to Bai Shizi along with this prescription, and let him find a credible person to see if there is any mystery in it." ”

"Bai Shizi?"

"Well, if he asks me what I've been busy with lately, why don't I go to Wangjiang Tower, you can say that I am unwell today and it is inconvenient to go out, and I will thank him well in a few days." Bai Jingze is a talker and a warm-hearted person, if he doesn't explain it in advance, he will definitely pester the "little brother Song" who came to see him.

Shizhou agreed to go out, still using Song Ying as an excuse to leave the house to avoid being suspected.

Lan Zhou said: "Why does the girl think there is a problem with this medicine?" The prescription is a prescription for the warmth and recuperation prescribed by the imperial doctor in the palace, and it is facing the girl's illness, and the medicinal materials are also collected by the old lady in every possible way, all of which are carefully selected, and every time the decoction is made by the slave maid and Shizhou by hand, the most should not go wrong. ”

"That being said, why did I take medicine every day before yesterday, but my health deteriorated. Now I haven't taken this medicine for a long time, but I'm getting better and better? ”

Lan Zhou was also puzzled: "But the slave really can't think of which joint went wrong......

"When Bai Shizi has news, the guess can be verified, if there is really a problem with this medicine......" Qingru Xu couldn't help laughing, "Then I really have to doubt life......

Lan Zhou was speechless, it was really terrifying!

Pouring the rest of the medicine into the green cypress bonsai, Lan Zhou put on a "terminally ill" makeup for Qing Ruxu, Qing Ruxu took the bronze mirror and looked left and right, and nodded with satisfaction: "It's getting more and more like dead people's makeup." ”

Lan Zhou was speechless and said, "The girl actually said, didn't you say that this makeup should look worse and sicker day by day?" ”

Qing Ruxu smiled: "I'm obviously praising you, you're not happy!" ”

"Slaves don't want this kind of praise......"

The master and servant were talking, and Qing Ruchu came to visit as usual. Lan Zhou hurriedly helped Qing Ruxu to lie down, turned his head and let Qing Ruchu in.

"Big sister ......" didn't finish a sentence, Qing Ruchu was already in tears, choked up. Okay, how can you say that you are sick when you are sick, and seeing that your face is worse today, isn't it that you haven't seen any better? Big sister, is it because of what happened before? But I really didn't mean to...... I was just afraid that my sister and third sister would hurt their feelings, so I went to find my grandmother......"

"Second sister...... Ahem, don't think about it, I'm already sick, what do I have to do with you......" Qing Ruchu has to come to cry in front of her every day to express her apology and guilt and self-blame, in her previous life, Qing Ruxu only felt that she was sincere, but now she looks at it and realizes that it is so fake, especially after finding that Qing Ruchu is suspected of having pepper powder in her fingernails.

"My sister doesn't blame me, but I can't help but blame myself...... It's because I'm so eventful that my sister is depressed......"

"Really...... I don't blame you...... cough cough cough ...... "Qing Ruxu was able to deal with it with a good temper a few days ago, but she has been a little impatient in the past two days, and she is tired of hearing these few words every day!" simply dismissed: "Ahem...... Second sister, it's better to go back first, I'm really sick, I'm afraid I'll give you ...... after I get sick."

Qing Ruchu was full of grievances, crying even more, and even her nose was red: "I'm not afraid, I can't wait to get ......better if my sister is sick."

Qing Ruxu couldn't stand this kind of clumsy and ugly performance anymore, and waved her hand weakly, Lan Zhou said: "The second girl should go back first, our girl is not in good spirits, and she just took medicine, so she has to sleep for a while." ”

"That'...... My sister is resting, I'm going back, and I'll come back tomorrow to see my sister......"

When she turned around, Qing Ruchu glanced at the empty medicine bowl on the cabinet, this scene was falling into Qing Ruxu's eyes, she sneered in her heart, closed her eyes, and hid the coldness in it.

Lan Zhou sent Qing Ruchu back, muttering: "How can the second girl be like singing......

Qingru Xu's heart was filled with sore wisps again: "Isn't it just singing......

"The slave maid prefers the three girls now, although the three girls are not very good at looking at the eyes, and their temperament is straight, but their concern for the girl is really true. The slave can feel that she really wants you to get better. ”

Since Qing Rulan accepted Qing Ruxu's kindness, it was as if she didn't know how to reciprocate, and every time she came to see her, she brought some gadgets from the market to make her happy.

Lan Zhou suddenly felt a little sad when she thought of this, and said: "Last time, the third girl came and persuaded the girl to say, 'If you are in a good mood, your illness will be cured', and that every time she is sick, the third lady told her like this...... The slave maid thought that if the girl also had her biological mother by her side, she would tell the girl the same. It's not like the lady and the second girl, who cry when they see you......"

"I don't have a mother, I still have a father and a grandmother, at least they are genuinely good to me."

"Well, although the master didn't say anything, he went home early every day, and the light in the study was always on all night, as if he was afraid that the girl would not be able to tell him any news in time. There is also the old lady, almost all the people who can be entrusted have been searched, and every day she adds half a bowl of rice, and she supports the spirit of seeing a doctor for the girl Zhang Luo......"

Qing Ruxu's eyes wet unconsciously: "Just let my father and grandmother work hard for a few days, maybe they won't have to worry about my illness anymore......"
