Chapter 33: Sacrifice

The breeze blew, adding a little coolness to the heat, Chen Jingsui walked into the Yiqing Garden alone, looking at the kapok in the courtyard, his heart sank, and when he was stunned, He'er had already greeted him, leaned over and said: "Slave and maid to meet the prince, An Tai Furu!" ”

"No courtesy." Chen Jingsui bent down to pick up a kapok, sniffed low, walked slowly, and asked in a muffled voice: "He'er, can the princess be safe today?" ”

"Don't worry, Imperial Physician Meng has come to ask for peace and well, and Miss is fine." He'er followed: "Lord Wang, Miss feels sleepy, after drinking the fetal pill, she will fall asleep, or ......"

While the two were talking, Ming'er approached with a food box and leaned over to say hello: "Lord Antai!" ”

"What are you holding?"

Ming'er said bluntly: "Back to the prince, it's the pastries sent by the second lady." ”

Thinking that the things were sent by Mu Sixian, Chen Jingsui kept an extra eye, stared at the food box with his eyes, and asked in a muffled voice: "He'er, does the princess often send things to the house?" ”

"Well, after the young lady fell and injured herself, the second young lady sent people over every day, sometimes to bring food over, and sometimes to ask the slaves and maids about the young lady's injury."

Chen Jing then sat on the railing, leaned against the pillar, thought for a moment, and pretended to say casually: "Can anyone ask anything else?" ”

He'er shook her head, and just when she wanted to answer 'no', she heard Ming'er say, "Lord Wang, the day after the young lady woke up, Lingbi ran to ask the slave maid: Did the young lady say how she rolled down the stairs?" He looked a little flustered. ”

"Really?" Chen Jingsui muttered: Lingbi, Ming'er's words, more solid his own thoughts, he took the food box, opened it one by one, the pastries in it are Mu Siyan's favorite food, Chen Jingsui picked up a piece of jujube cake, and said in a muffled voice: "He'er, Ming'er, if the people who stay in the palace in the future inquire about any news, or send something, you all have to return to the king." ”

The two maids looked at each other, and they didn't know what they were talking about, and they answered in unison: 'No'.

Chen Jingsui threw the jujube paste cake on the plate, and said in a warning tone: "Don't let the princess know about this matter, if you dare to leak half a sentence, don't blame the king for being ruthless." ”

"Slaves don't dare."

When he saw the two maids fall to their knees in fright, he didn't even dare to say that he didn't want to be embarrassed, so he got up and left.

The night was like ink, Mu Siyan took the maids away, left the Yiqing Garden with the lantern by herself, along the long corridor, all the way to the small pond in the backyard, she saw a figure burning incense in the pavilion, the closer she got closer, the more she felt that the moon-white brocade robe that the person was wearing was conspicuous, stopped, and asked hesitantly: "Lord Wang, you are still thinking about Sister Rong, right?" ”

Seeing Chen Jingsui bowing to the incense by himself, as if he didn't care about himself, he really felt bored, and when he turned around and was about to leave, a low voice suddenly came from behind: "Yan'er." ”

Looking back, Mu Siyan looked at his pale face, her red and swollen eyes were filled with tears, and a trace of sympathy for the same disease emerged in her heart, she pretended to be calm and said with relief: "The deceased is gone, lord, Wanwang Day mourns!" ”

"Rong'er is the niece of the mother's concubine, the aunt died early, and the mother's concubine was worried that she would be wronged at home, so she deliberately put her in the palace to raise."

Mu Siyan saw him sitting on the steps, with a sad face, and thought to herself: No wonder he is so sad, it turns out that he has been in love since childhood. She didn't know how to appease Chen Jingsui, so she stood in place and quietly accompanied him.

After a moment of silence, he smiled bitterly: "The inner courtyard of the palace, intrigues, she sent people under the fence, and it was already difficult, but I don't know why she always smiled at everyone." Chen Jingsui's ears seemed to ring her silver bell-like laughter again: "My father decreed the marriage, I am full of joy, and I look forward to the wedding day as soon as possible." We promised to stay together, but unfortunately the good times didn't last long, and Rong'er was in the ......"

Hearing his voice trembling, Mu Siyan handed Jinpa over, when her fingers wanted to touch, a chill quickly hit her heart, and when she wanted to retract, she was grabbed by Chen Jingsui, he slowly stood up, looked at each other, and said in a low voice: "Yan'er, don't leave me, okay?" ”

"Good!"

In the moonlight, the two hugged each other.
