Chapter 24: The Man on the Tip of the Heart
"What about those who serve you?" His eyes fell on her dripping shoes, and his brows furrowed.
As soon as she saw her master drenched in the arms of His Royal Highness, he immediately consciously knelt down and begged for mercy: "Slave and maid should die!" I beg your Highness to spare your life! ”
Seeing the moon shadow come out, Ye Jin immediately couldn't wait to jump off Ming Zisu's body, and stood in the stagnant water with a plop, but she hurriedly pulled up the moon shadow on the ground and asked again and again: "How is she?" Why do I vomit blood? What did the Imperial Doctor say? ”
Moon Shadow shrank and didn't dare to reply, Mingzi Su said coldly: "You might as well ask me, she is a person in your palace, and she can't enter the dormitory of Biluo Palace, what can I help you find?" ”
Ye Jin suddenly realized, turned around anxiously and grabbed his sleeve and asked, "How is she?" ”
Mingzi Su's heavy eyes looked at her standing thinly in the rain, and the umbrella didn't bother to hold it, so she threw it aside, her body was mostly wet from the rain, her slightly moist hair was messily attached to her shoulders, and the expression on her face was so eager that it seemed that she was lying in some important person.
"What do you care so much about her?"
"I'm ......" Ye Jin was speechless for a while, and said something that made Mingzi Su's face completely blacken: "I'm not for your harem to be more harmonious...... and then added without fear of death: "Can I go in and see her?" ”
What a harem of harmony! Mingzi Su coldened her face, grabbed her wrist and walked in: "Since that's the case, then you can go in and see for yourself!" ”
"No, no, no......" Ye Jin nervously shrank back and stepped back, "Don't make such a big move, I'll just take a look from afar, just take a look, as long as she's okay, I'll be relieved......"
Ming Zisu let go of her hand and sneered: "The crown princess is really virtuous, from now on, without my permission, no one in the Changxi Palace will be allowed to visit Concubine Xian!" Without waiting for her to react, the little eunuch behind her hurriedly followed with an umbrella, and heard the master who was hurrying away in front of her whispered: "Find out what they talked about yesterday." ”
Moon Shadow got up in shock, she couldn't believe that she had escaped, or when her master angered His Highness, she carefully picked up the umbrella and covered it on the top of Ye Jin's head: "Niangniang, the slave maid just inquired, saying that the concubine Xian was caused by nightmares and heart palpitations in the middle of the night, and she hasn't woken up yet, let's go back first, the slave maid will help you keep an eye on it." ”
"Thank you." Ye Jin smiled at her gratefully, "What's your name?" ”
"Slave Moon Shadow." Moon Shadow was flattered and replied excitedly, Niangniang actually ...... Thank her?
"Moon Shadow, come with me."
"Yes, where do you want to go?"
"Where is the most remote? Preferably the kind of place where the grass grows with wild grass......"
"What do you do in that kind of place?"
"You don't care, just lead the way."
"Yes......"
The sound of the rain drowned out the voices of the two, Moon Shadow took Ye Jin more and more secluded, and the scenery in front of him became more and more desolate, and finally the master and servant stopped at the gate of a dilapidated palace, Moon Shadow asked hesitantly: "Niangniang, this is Lengwu Palace, the place you said should be here, what are you doing here?" I heard that there seems to be a concubine who has been sick and out of favor for a long time, and she is forbidden to come out, and others can't avoid it, so let's not go to such an unfortunate place......"
Ye Jin glanced at her, stepped forward and pushed open the door, and there was a sense of defeat and desertion, there was no vitality in spring and summer at all, but there was a bit of depression in autumn and winter, and some treescape flower pots were stacked in the courtyard, falling all over the dead branches and leaves, covered with silt after the rain and no one cleaned it, and the whole palace seemed deserted and dilapidated.
An older palace maid stood under the raindropping porch, looked at the dirty ground melancholy and said: "Shouldn't we find a time to clean up this yard, it's okay on a sunny day, this rain will be full of sewage, and .....there is no place to put your feet down."
A little palace maid with plain hair in a bun didn't know where to turn out and answered: "I climbed on the roof today and saw that the flowers in the imperial garden are blooming very well, and the colors are very good-looking, Aunt Qiuhuan, why don't we also plant some in the courtyard, and we can also add some color to our palace, Mama Qi, do you say okay?" ”
"It's good, of course, it's good, but you don't know that in these days when Niangniang was grounded and fell out of favor, the inner court didn't provide us with anything except the daily medicinal and dietary materials, and even the clothes for the summer season of Niangniang were made by ourselves, let alone what to spend." Qiuhuan sighed.
"But no, it's going to be cool in autumn, and I don't give anything, I really don't know how to spend the winter." A little eunuch also joined the discussion, "This morning I came out of the inner court and met Xiaoyingzi of Fanghua Palace, this kid is now following Fang Guiren on an errand, seeing that I am arrogant, I think we were not so angry when our master was favored, now Fang Guiren is pregnant again, Feng Concubine is afraid that it will be sooner or later, if a prince is born in the next year, it is not impossible to be a concubine, look at us again, alas, ......"
Qiu Huan immediately sank his face: "What are you talking about!" How troublesome it is for the mother to hear it! If outsiders hear about it, they will look down on us even more, and if you are in a panic, go to the backyard to collect some firewood and prepare it for the next year. ”
"Who hears it, who else will come to our palace to find bad luck......," the little eunuch muttered unconvinced.
How could a slave despise his master like this, Ye Jin frowned and was about to speak, when suddenly a familiar voice came from his side.
"Bad luck?"
The little eunuch looked over, and was stunned for a while before he slowly knelt down in disbelief: "Too... His Royal Highness the Prince! You..... How did it come? ”
The pale yellow figure slowly entered through the door, Ming Zisu passed past her without squinting, and walked straight into the courtyard, staring at the figure of the little eunuch kneeling on the ground, his pupils constricted slightly, and his eyes were cold.
"Give...... Greetings to His Highness......" The only three minions in the Lengwu Palace all knelt down.
Ming Zisu stood with his hands in his hands, and said in an indifferent tone: "Since you are unlucky, it is better to go to the criminal court to get rid of bad luck." ”
The little eunuch sat on the ground with a weak body, and quickly knelt down and begged for mercy: "The slave lost his words for a while, and begged His Highness to spare his life......"
Mama and the little palace maid quickly knelt down to intercede for him.
"Your Highness, please be gracious, spare Xiao Qizi this time, he is also dedicated on weekdays, there are not many people available in front of Niangniang, and there are many inconveniences without him, Your Highness will allow him to atone for his sins."
"That's it." Ming Zisu actually eased his expression and stopped pursuing it, and moved towards the dormitory.
"Thank you, Your Highness!" The little eunuch thanked him with a pale face, until Ming Zisu's figure disappeared behind the door, he collapsed to the ground, wiping the cold sweat on his forehead with a frightened face, "Aunt Qiuhuan, Zhuying, pull me by the hand, my legs don't obey the call......"
Zhuying ran over quickly, pulled him up with Qiuhuan, and asked curiously, "Auntie, where is the criminal court?" ”
"Where you don't die, you have to peel off your skin......" replied the little eunuch murmured.
Ye Jin's heart froze, and she followed Mingzi Su's long and straight back and disappeared behind the door of the dormitory in a daze, and a trace of strangeness suddenly floated in her heart, for the first time, she felt so clearly that he was so different from before, he was indeed not the young man called Ying Shangrong she knew.
In the past, the shadow was silent, and she was kind to her.
Ming Zisu in front of him only said a few words to determine life and death.
"I haven't come to see the princess yet!"
Ye Jin was in a trance, and Moon Shadow startled her with a coquettish reprimand
The three frightened minions came over to say goodbye again tremblingly, looking at each other, what day is today, even their Lengwu Palace is lively, and the crown prince and princess are here.
Ye Jin instructed them to get up, let Moon Shadow wait in place, and followed Ming Zisu into the dormitory alone, maybe just to get closer to him and see him more clearly.
She stopped at the door of the dormitory, and saw a woman lying quietly on the couch from a distance, covered with white gauze, only revealing a pair of closed eyes, unable to see her face clearly, and Mingzi Su stood quietly in front of the bed, silent, silent for a while, and left quietly, when she passed by her, Mingzi Su didn't seem to pause at all, as if there was another moment of sideways glance, as if it was just her illusion, and when she came back to her senses, his figure had disappeared outside the door.
The dormitory was very cold, without a trace of popularity, Ye Jin touched the tea cup on the table, the tentacles were cold, the windows were also broken, the cold wind mixed with the rain came in, she shouldn't have felt cold, but she shivered, constantly thinking about Mingzi Su's expression when he left, quiet and indifferent, but his eyes were full of forbearance and anger.
Obviously, he cared about this person, and if that was the case, why would he let her fall into such a situation?
Ye Jin curiously approached the bedside to take a closer look, only to see a terrifying scar winding down from the woman's eyebrow bone all the way to the corner of her lips, hidden under the looming white gauze scarf, almost occupying the entire left side of her face.
Sure enough, it was her, the woman who scared her half to death that night and was also scared half to death by her.
