Chapter 108: Beauty Hurts
The palace people got out of the way and followed the crying, Chen Meiren fell to the ground on her side, and several eunuchs and palace maids around her were already crying.
"What's going on?" Rong Jinhuan furrowed his eyebrows and motioned for someone to step forward and look.
A busy eunuch carried the palace lamp to illuminate it, only to see Chen Meiren's eyes closed, blood seemed to flow out of the back of her head, and there were faint blood marks on the rockery behind her.
Ruoyun was suddenly shocked, and Chen Ke stumbled between the pushes and shoved of everyone, thinking that he had hit his head......
Seeing that the emperor asked, the palace maids and eunuchs in Chen Meiren's palace cried louder.
Chang De hurriedly stepped forward to take a look, and said to the surroundings: "What are you still doing in a daze?" Pass on the Imperial Doctor! ”
Some eunuchs trotted to ask for a doctor, and the rest went to carry Chen Meiren with their hands and feet, and the scene became chaotic for a while.
Chang De came back slowly, saluted the emperor, sighed immediately, and whispered: "Your Majesty, Chen Meiren is afraid that it is not very good......
Rong Jinhuan's face suddenly became ugly, and he waved his hand to let him do it, his sharp eyes looked around with annoyance, and finally stopped on Ruoyun.
Thinking of Chen Kegao's collusion with the assassins, Ruoyun instinctively felt that it was not good.
Unexpectedly, Rong Jinhuan only sent her back to the palace, and called Zhang Yu to Qianyuan Palace for questioning, but in the end he didn't look at her again.
Ruoyun was accompanied by the palace people to return to Chaolu Palace, and when she left far away, she saw that the palace was brightly lit, and many people stood on the steps at the door to look.
Xiaohong saw her sharp-eyed, and was the first to rush down: "Niangniang!" Where have you been? I heard that the Jade Palace has entered the Assassins, are you okay? ”
She looked at Ruoyun from top to bottom, and saw that she didn't seem to be in serious trouble but didn't speak. Hurriedly helped her in.
Dinner was cold and hot, and someone trotted to show her, Ruoyun had no appetite and shook her head. When they arrived at the inner hall, they asked everyone to go down, leaving only Xiaohong, and sitting down with all his body weak.
"Miss, what's wrong with you?" Xiaohong poured her a cup of tea and handed it to her, asking quietly.
Ruoyun was in a trance, and when she heard her ask, she was depressed and didn't go to pick up the teacup. But he held Xiaohong's other hand and said in a daze: "Xiaohong, do you remember when I was fourteen years old?" Ever asked you to pretend to be me to read and slip out of the house by yourself? ”
"Miss, do you remember?" Xiaohong hurriedly squatted down and said with a wink. "You were seriously ill that year. I don't remember anything after I get better, and I still say I'm talking nonsense! ”
Seeing her pouting, Ruoyun nodded and pulled out a wry smile: "I'm going to see someone, that person is light and breezy, full of economy, and his smile is as warm as spring, and in my heart it is the scene of ink cherry blossoms in full bloom...... But I just forgot...... I remember it to this day......"
She was already choked up after speaking, and the pain in her heart was unbearable. The hand holding Xiaohong trembled slightly.
"I was wondering if Miss was going to see someone. Otherwise, I wouldn't want to go out so much...... "Xiaohong suddenly realized, and immediately asked, "Who is it?" ”
Ruoyun bit her lip: "Lord Cheng." ”
"Huh?" Xiaohong jumped up, took most of the tea in her hand, she hurriedly put it down, and said seriously: "Miss, do you mean it really?" Lord Cheng? Cheng Qingxuan, Cheng Wangye? ”
Ruoyun nodded slowly, and then sighed heavily, feeling that her breathing was also painful.
"But, but that day you left King Cheng's Mansion, didn't ...... Didn't you have a point with Cheng Wangye? Xiaohong hurriedly asked again.
Ruoyun stiffened and turned her face away.
"Could it be that you are going to find Lord Cheng? Didn't you catch up? Xiaohong held her with both hands, looking like something was wrong.
"Yes...... Ruoyun was very melancholy, looked elsewhere for a while, and finally sighed.
"This ...... What can I do? Miss, you are already the emperor's concubine! It's a virtuous concubine! Xiaohong thought about it for a long time, and finally figured out the various reasons.
"Hmm." Ruoyun smiled at her, feeling that her last strength had been drained, and she was already dizzy, "This virtuous concubine, I have to be proper now, there is no turning back." ”
Xiaohong knew that she had mentioned her sadness, and hurriedly shook her, "Miss, no matter what, Xiaohong will be by your side." You...... Don't be sad...... There is still Miss Lin Duyan in the palace, Miss, you are not alone......"
Knowing that she was afraid that she would be sad, Ruoyun hurriedly patted the back of her hand comfortingly.
"Miss, isn't there still Yu Wangye, Yu Wangye is now your brother-in-law, no matter what you say, he will help you." Xiaohong said seriously.
If Yun heard her mention Bai Ze, her dark eyes brightened a little, Bai Ze said that she had something to find someone to pass on, so did he know the whereabouts of Lu Dao Qingxuan? Bai Ze came this time because she was afraid that she would regret it, but now she regretted it too late.
"Xiaohong, find someone to invite King Yu as soon as possible." She felt a little comforted in her heart, and hurriedly pulled Xiaohong to say.
"Miss, if you want to invite King Yu tomorrow, the door of this palace has been closed for a long time, and there must be a reason." Xiaohong reminded her.
"I'm sick." Ruoyun couldn't think anymore, and hurriedly went to bed.
Early the next morning, the messenger was still out of the palace, but Bai Ze had already arrived, dressed in simple clothes, dressed in white, the golden hanging chain around his waist was replaced by a jade-inlaid one, his eyes were half-open and he looked tired, but he brought seventeen or eighteen vases to put on display.
He was leaning in the inner hall to drink tea, and the palace people who greeted him had already been summoned by him, and when he saw her, he sighed: "Qinghe and Qingwen made such a big noise, Qingsu was very angry, I didn't sleep all night last night and was busy persuading." However, Qingwen will always be sent back by Qingsu now, Qinghe......" he shook his head, "At the very least, it will be grounded." ”
"I'm sorry......" Ruoyun remembered what Qingwen said, thinking that it was all because of herself, and she held back for a long time and only apologized.
"Girl, don't say I'm sorry, according to their tempers, sooner or later they will be punished." Bai Ze put down the teacup and showed a nonchalant look.
"I originally wanted to send someone to invite you, but I didn't expect you to come." Ruoyun stopped talking, and finally sighed and sat down across from him.
"Well, I bumped into it, saying you're sick?" Seeing that although she was dressed in a decent palace dress, Bai Ze looked gloomy and haggard, so he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and ask.
"I'm ......" Ruoyun grabbed her front placket, not knowing how to speak.
Bai Ze glanced at her heart, and seemed to smile: "Understood." It seems that you have seen the contents of the box, and you have believed me. ”
Ruoyun took a deep breath. Cheer up: "I have to believe it now." The emperor wants to contain you, so he set up such a game. I thought I was careful and thoughtful enough to be stupid enough to hurt others and myself. ”
Seeing her frowning and painful, Bai Ze smiled instead, his eyes were clear and narrowed like a crescent moon, and he said easily: "I know that I am a stupid person." It's not so stupid, girl, and it's not too late. ”
"Isn't it too late? I am already the emperor's concubine. She bit her lip and stared at Baizawa's smiling face. I don't know why.
Bai Ze smiled heartily, and immediately put away his smile, his eyes burning: "Girl, do you think it's too late." Will the emperor still have to keep you? ”
Ruoyun was at a loss. After thinking about his words carefully, his heart suddenly became excited: "You mean...... Are you saying that the emperor let me enter the palace, not just to contain you? ”
"Hmph, do you think that if I protect you and recognize you as a righteous sister, the emperor will restrain me?" Bai Ze's eyes changed suddenly, and he said coldly, "If you help the emperor harm us, I will be the first to get rid of you." Maybe it's me. ”
Ruoyun's face turned pale, and then she nodded solemnly: "I will never harm you in this life." If so, you can do it. ”
"I'm just assuming, take it easy." Bai Ze winked at her, "If it weren't for Qingxuan being serious about you and never forgetting you, how could you become such a good proton and be left in the palace by the emperor?" And one is a virtuous concubine, so it will be difficult for you to fly no matter how many wings you insert. ”
"However, Qingxuan has broken off the flute and broken off with me, and you have seen it too." Ruoyun didn't dare to say more, but she was afraid that if she said it, it would be empty.
"Actually, I don't know what to do, but if it's too late, he is a little ruthless in his heart, so how can he avoid going south? He's afraid that when you have a choice, you have to put it aside for the time being. Bai Ze spread his hands and confessed, "The situation has changed recently, Zhao Wuyang's army is afraid that there will be any movement, and the emperor will abandon the high priest's line, so there must be something to restrain me." ”
"I ......" Ruoyun was said by him, and the hope in her heart quietly revived a little, and she suddenly stood up, stared at him and said, "Am I?" Am I still so important? He should hate me and hate me. ”
"I don't know what to say, but whether it's hatred or resentment, it's a good thing if he can have such strong emotions." Bai Ze cupped his cheeks and looked lazy, "In short, it's not too late for you to have that heart, although I can't speculate on what the future will be, it's not a bad thing to be able to understand each other." ”
Ruoyun nodded, now that she is in prison, no matter how much she thinks, there is nothing she can do, but in this way, she really doesn't want to get close to Rong Jinhuan at all.
If Cheng Qingxuan's wish at the moment is just to let her know the truth and will not become the emperor's help, then she will gladly accept it. If it is really the same as Bai Ze said, there is still a chance to reconcile, which is indeed not a bad thing.
It's just that she feels like she'll never have the face to see him again.
"What's wrong with the sacrificial vein?" Ruoyun turned to him and asked about this.
"Zhao Wuyang is not the only one in the priest's lineage, the old priest had a brother at the beginning, but the old priest disappeared after his death. The emperor had long been suspicious of the Star Picking Pavilion, and after the puppet's fold was presented, the emperor sent someone to search Yao Huashan, estimating that the high priest would not be able to sit still. Bai Ze smiled and said, "I came in a hurry to tell you this." Zhao Wuyang lives in Hakodate, you have to be careful. ”
Ruoyun was secretly frightened, remembering that day Zhao Wuyang sent someone to win the Kunlun music score, and nodded hurriedly: "I'll be careful." ”
"Then you're in a hurry to see me, don't you want to ask about Qingxuan?" Bai Ze was a little impatient and asked bluntly.
"You said you don't know, and I asked you if you were bored?" Ruoyun sighed and replied, "I do want to know the way, but if he wants to see me, he will appear." ”
"Hmph, are you asking me to give you an affirmation and fix your heart?" Bai Ze glanced at her, "You still have something to do, it's better to talk about it all." ”
Ruoyun was indeed relieved to see him like this, chuckled, and said: "The county initiative is too quiet, Chen Meiren was injured a lot yesterday, I don't know if the emperor knows that it was Cheng Wangfu's doing, will he blame." ”
Bai Ze thought for a moment, twisted his chin, and showed a cunning look: "Rong Jinhuan wants to ask the teacher to ask for the guilt, there should have been movement yesterday, I feel that he has something else to do, and ...... He is sure that you will not leave the palace, so he is not afraid at all. ”
Ruoyun looked embarrassed and hung her head in frustration. (To be continued......)
