When the lime came out of the library, the sun was setting and the evening breeze was cool. She will go back to Xiao Mansion tomorrow, and Fang Han will come to her for dinner tonight.

The evening breeze blows on the face, brushing away a little tiredness. In the afterglow of this setting sun, a group of people appeared in front of the lime, led by the man, dressed in red, with a graceful demeanor. When I saw Lime, I was so happy that I saw it.

"Third Miss." Xiu Hanyan stepped forward quickly and took Lime's hand cordially, like an old friend who hadn't seen her for a long time.

"The courtier has seen the concubine." Lime wanted to salute, but was stopped by Xiu Hanyan, such an unusual cordial warmth made Lime instantly vigilant.

"Third Miss doesn't need to be polite, this palace heard that the emperor is going to rest with you tonight. In this way, you and this palace are also sisters, and you don't have to worry about this lot of tedious etiquette in the future. Xiu Hanyan smiled brightly, but Lime felt weird no matter how she looked at it.

"The concubine has misunderstood." Lime took her hand back, and saluted sincerely and pleaded guiltily, "The emperor and his courtiers have been friends since childhood, like brothers and sisters, tomorrow the courtiers will return to the Xiao Mansion, the emperor just came to the courtiers for dinner, and has no other intentions." ”

"Look at you, what are you doing so nervously, I don't know, I think this palace has bullied you, if it reaches the ears of the emperor, the emperor will punish you." Xiu Hanyan said very dignifiedly.

Xiu Hanyan stretched out her slender jade hand to help the lime up, her eyes suddenly became sharp, and then her whole face became very painful again, and a dagger fell to the ground with a scream, "Ah! It hurts, it hurts! Third Miss, why are you doing this? ”

At this time, Xiu Hanyan's right hand was soaked in blood, bright red and dazzling, and the wound on the palm of her hand was even more deep and white, which was very hideous.

Lime couldn't help twitching the corner of her eyes, this woman was really good at herself in order to compete for favor.

"Bold! You slut, you dare to hurt the concubine! The maid behind Xiu Hanyan shouted loudly.

The maid stepped forward, her eyes widened angrily, and she raised her slap high, the palm lines of her hands were rough, and the joints were clearly visible, if she hit her face, the consequences could be imagined.

The maid's slap came down hard, and just as the slap was about to land on Lime's face, a stone flew from Lime's ear, knocking the hand off.

The maid was originally very arrogant, but after seeing the comer, she lost her arrogance, knelt on the ground, and no longer dared to speak.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty save me." After Xiu Hanyan saw Fang Han, she pounced straight over, her voice was soft and crying, and people couldn't help but want to protect her from harm, "Your Majesty, you said that your favorite thing is the hands of your concubines, but now, now it's the concubines who are sorry for the emperor..."

"Still stunned what to do! Why don't you hurry up and ask for a doctor! Fang Han said sharply, he took Xiu Hanyan in his arms, held the jade hands, and didn't care about the blood staining the dragon robe.

"Imperial Brother, Imperial Brother." Princess Mengya hurriedly ran over, and although Xuan Nanjun, who was left behind by her, looked helpless, she didn't take a quick step and lost her demeanor, "Brother Huang, this must not be done by Yu'er, Yu'er will not do such a thing." ”

"Princess Mengya, do you mean to say that this palace framed the third lady? This palace is the imperial concubine, how could she hurt herself like this in order to frame a young lady of the family? Xiu Hanyan's tears were already covering her cheeks, Chu Chu's pitiful appearance made people feel very distressed, she turned her head and pulled Fang Han's sleeves, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you have to be the master of your concubines!" ”

"Your Majesty." Xuan Nanjun followed slowly, the woman's crying made him feel a headache, on this occasion, he always hid and hid.

"Your Royal Highness, Mengya is young and ignorant, and she is inevitably immature in life, if there is something wrong, please ask His Highness to teach her more." Fang Han looked at the reckless Mengya and frowned slightly.

"Brother Huang!" Princess Mengya flattened her mouth, her face full of reluctance.

"Please rest assured, the emperor will not let Mengya be wronged." Xuan Nanjun comprehended, understood what Fang Han meant, and also made a promise to him.

"Your Majesty, the concubine is in pain, you have to be the master of the concubine." The more Xiu Hanyan listened, the more she felt that something was wrong, this was a trap she had carefully set, and she couldn't let Princess Mengya mess with her good deeds.

"If there is nothing to do, this king and Princess Mengya will not disturb the emperor." He couldn't bear this woman's tearful appearance, and it was best for him to withdraw from the battlefield as soon as possible.

"I'm not leaving, she's not wrong." Princess Mengya shouted dissatisfiedly, but after Xuan Nanjun's look, she lost her temper again.

"The King, please take care of yourself." Fang Han nodded, looking at Xuan Nanjun's figure of pulling Mengya away, he was secretly glad in his heart, finally someone could cure this princess who was not afraid of heaven and earth.

Being pulled by Xuan Nanjun, although Mengya was reluctant, she didn't dare to resist, and she was very uneasy in her heart, and after a long struggle, she finally shook off Xuan Nanjun's hand fiercely.

She was just about to open her mouth to hold her grievances, but at the moment when Xuan Nanjun turned around, her blood faded again, and she was exhausted.

"What's wrong?" Xuan Nanjun tried hard to make himself look gentle, and his voice sounded gentle and harmless.

"I, I'm worried." Hearing his question, Meng Ya still shuddered, and the gentleness and harmlessness that Xuan Nanjun tried to show turned into displeasure and threat in her ears.

"This is your royal brother's family matter, so you don't have to worry about it." Xuan Nanjun paused, saw her eyes full of worry, and sighed lightly, "If you really can't rest assured, you can go and ask the Queen Mother to intervene in this matter." ”

Mengya nodded obediently, but her eyebrows were still frowning.

Xuan Nanjun pulled up Meng Ya's jade hands that resisted him and held them tightly in his palms, those cold and cold sweaty hands made him feel extremely sad in his heart, and reminded him of what he had done all the time.

Yushu Palace.

Fang Hantie's face was blue and he didn't say a word.

Lime had been kneeling on the cold floor for a long time, Xiu Hanyan was still sitting on the side crying, and the imperial doctor was bandaging her.

"Your Majesty, the wound on the hand of the noble concubine is quite deep, and I am afraid that it will leave a scar in the future." After treating the wound, the imperial doctor secretly glanced at Fang Han, and was shocked into a cold sweat, seeing the emperor's face blue, the young lady of the Xiao family was afraid that a big disaster was coming.

"Your Majesty, concubine..."Hearing the words of the imperial doctor, Xiu Hanyan burst into tears again.

"The Queen Mother has arrived." With a shout from outside the door, the Queen Mother had already entered the main hall.

"What's the matter, how did the mourning family hear that Concubine Shu was injured?" The Queen Mother looked at the two women in the room, and she probably knew what was going on.

"The Queen Mother." Fang Han got up and helped the Queen Mother to her seat, and replied respectfully, "It's just a trivial matter, just deal with it, how did you alarm the Queen Mother." ”

"The emperor has all kinds of opportunities, he is entangled in political affairs, and he has to work hard for the affairs of the harem when he gets out of the court, and others are not distressed, but the mourning family still feels sorry for the emperor." The Queen Mother looked at the blood-stained dagger, and then looked at Xiu Hanyan's bandaged injured hand, frowning slightly. This kind of thing happened as soon as the concubine entered the door, if it is not handled well, it will definitely affect the diplomatic relations between the two countries, "How is the emperor going to deal with it, tell the mourning family." ”

"Please Your Majesty, the Queen Mother will be aware of it." Xiu Hanyan knelt on the ground supported by the maid, her eyes were already red and swollen from crying, "The concubine originally wanted to be closer to the third lady, after all, the third miss is the person at the top of the emperor's heart, and sooner or later she will enter the palace to serve the emperor and be sisters with the concubine." The concubine came to Su Yan alone, and there was no one around to talk to, seeing that the third lady had lived in the palace for a long time, and she was a gentle and caring person, she wanted to talk to the third lady about herself. What the concubine said made the third miss unhappy, and the third lady accidentally injured the concubine. ”

"What did Concubine Ai say?" Hearing this, Fang Han suddenly became interested. Now that she has such a quiet temperament, she can be angered and hurt people? He wanted to hear what it was that would be worth her anger.

The concubine said that the emperor likes the hands of the concubine the most, and the concubine must take good care of it. But how could she have thought that the third lady ...... "Speaking of this, the tears that Xiu Hanyan had just stopped were about to burst again."

"Xiao Shiyu, what do you say?" Fang Han said.

"Your Majesty, the courtiers have nothing to say, the courtiers believe that justice is at ease in the hearts of the people." Lime is neither humble nor arrogant, and her words are loud, compared with Xiu Hanyan's weakness, it is really not enough to be loved.

"Your Majesty, why is the dragon robe stained with blood?" The Queen Mother suddenly interjected, and her previously kind tone became annoyed, "It is taboo to stain the dragon robe with blood, Zhang Jian, what's going on?" ”

"The Queen Mother is angry, this ......" Zhang Jian bowed, shouted to stop his anger, and then looked at Fang Han without saying anything.

"Queen Mother, don't blame the slave, it was I who accidentally stained the blood of the concubine." Fang Han also got up, admitting his mistake respectfully.

The dragon robe was stained with blood, this was the most taboo thing for the queen mother, even if he didn't dare to say a word at this time.

"Concubine Shugui, do you know that the blood staining of the dragon robe is my Su Yan's taboo, and it should be killed according to the law!" The Queen Mother was accountable, and her tone did not hide her anger.

"The Queen Mother, the concubine first arrived in Suyan, and she didn't know this taboo, the Queen Mother forgives her sins!" This was something that Xiu Hanyan never expected, she ignored Su Yan's rules.

She kowtowed again and again, regardless of the messy hair and the loss of the grace of the concubine.

"Queen Mother, don't blame those who don't know, Nian Zai has just entered the palace, don't pursue it this time." Fang Han personally poured a cup of tea for the Queen Mother, and pleaded for Xiu Hanyan.

"Why, don't you count what the mourning family said, and if you marry a wife, can you forget the law of your ancestors?" Hearing this, the Queen Mother was even more angry, and slapped her palm on the table, and the tea in the cup was also shocked and splashed everywhere.

"The queen mother is angry, but the sons don't dare." Fang Han hurriedly said.

"Okay, you have to protect your concubine, and the mourning family will not stop you, but the blood-stained dragon robe is my Su Yan's taboo, if she is not investigated because she has just arrived, how can the emperor make the court and the people submit! You have to give an explanation to your ancestors and the mourning family. Although the Queen Mother's anger did not dissipate, she was relieved.

"Yes, Queen Mother." Fang Han nodded yes.

"Concubine, it is a big crime to stain the dragon robe with blood, but I and the Queen Mother will be dealt with lightly when you first enter the Suyan Imperial City. I will confine you for a month, and send a lady in charge of your palace to teach you the rules of the imperial city. After a month, you can learn well and the lockdown will be lifted. Fang Han said.

"Thank you for the grace of the emperor and the queen mother." Although Fang Han's voice was gentle, Xiu Hanyan still trembled.

"Xiao Shiyu, you don't have to wait until tomorrow, just pack up and go back to Xiao's Mansion tonight, be grounded for half a month, and you will not be allowed to enter the palace without an edict from now on." Fang Han looked at her quiet appearance and said in a deep voice.

"Yes, the courtiers obey." The woman, who was originally very quiet and had no sense of crisis, trembled lightly when she heard this low, slightly stern voice, and her voice was mixed with a little crying.

Fang Han was stunned, he wanted to tease her, but he didn't expect to make her cry, he blamed himself a little, why did he scare her like this, he wanted to step forward and help her up and hold her in his arms to love her, but the current occasion did not allow him to do so.

"If the son deals with it like this, the queen mother is still satisfied." Fang Han said.

"It's lighter, but it's also convincing, so that's it, let's disperse." The Queen Mother got up and left the Yushu Palace with the support of the maid.

"Don't kneel, concubine, go and rest." Fang Han glanced at the maid beside Xiu Hanyan, frowned, and said, "I let you be in charge of the phoenix seal, just because I was afraid that I would wronged you, so I turned around and changed all the maids around you, how could you serve a good concubine with such a rough hand." ”

As soon as Fang Han's words fell, Xiu Hanyan, who was kneeling, sat on the ground in shock. Pale and did not dare to say a word.

It was a rough girl she specially arranged for Xiao Shiyu, she knew that Xiao Shiyu was the person on the tip of the emperor's heart, and if she beat her, the emperor blamed her, and she could also let this rough girl take the blame.

But now, the emperor's words clearly saw her calculations and warned her that her life would not be easy in the future.

The evening breeze is blowing, and Lime walks on the road alone, which is rare and quiet.

Recalling what Xiu Yi said to her before leaving, many questions arose in Lime's heart.

The mother concubine once gave her brother Fang Jinyue and herself a pair of folding fans, but now that my brother is missing, my brother's folding fan is in the hands of Xiao Shizhi, and Xiao Shizhi has many abnormalities.

So what really happened back then? Why did Xiao Shizhi keep silent about the events of that year? Where's my brother? What is Xiao Shizhi's secret? What is the relationship between the two?

Countless questions lingered in Lime's mind, and by the time Lime came back to her senses, she had already arrived at the dormitory where she lived.

As soon as she entered the main hall, Lime noticed that the atmosphere was much more unusual than before. Ignoring Fang Han, who was drinking hot tea not far away, Lime said coldly, "Caihe, pack up, we'll go back to Xiao Mansion tonight." ”
