After coming back, Ye Jin had a fever, fell asleep deeply, his brows were tightly locked, and a few indistinguishable words escaped from time to time, Ming Zisu's face was condensed with anger, his cold eyes swept over, and the palace maid and eunuch in the palace knelt on the ground.

"Who has been here?"

Xiangying, the palace maid who was assigned to serve Ye Jin closely, knelt a few steps forward tremblingly and replied: "Back to Your Highness, Concubine Xian came in the afternoon, and her face was not good when she came, and after talking with Niangniang for a while, she took Niangniang out, and came back in the evening, and when she came back, Niangniang was sick......

Ming Zisu's face was cold, and he coldly spit out two words between his pursed lips: "Kill with a cane." ”

Xiangying's face turned pale in an instant, and she was prostrate on the ground and kowtowed desperately to beg for mercy, she didn't understand, it was obviously the queen's mother who explained that she didn't need to bother to serve, why did this happen? The crown princess was only sick once, and the imperial doctor also said that it was no big deal, and the prince actually wanted to kill people with a cane......

Ming Zisu raised his hand lightly, and the wide cuffs brushed it: "I don't know how to protect the master, what's the use of keeping it." ”

Xiangying was dragged down, and the crying gradually disappeared outside the hall, and the rest of the people knelt in silence, trembling and lowering their bodies, for fear that they would be next.

Ming Zisu didn't deal with anyone anymore, but the servants in the room understood what he meant by killing chickens and making an example of monkeys, and naturally understood how important the new master they were serving was, no matter what his queen mother ordered, it was more important to save his life, hold it in the palm of his hand and wait......

Ming Zisu carefully wiped Ye Jin's chapped and pale lips with a cloth towel dipped in water, and the fine sweat that kept pouring from her forehead, and her eyebrows were tightly twisted because of her uneasy whispering.

In the dream, Ye Xiang's thin body stood blankly in the chaotic crowd, stretched out his hand to her, and cried helplessly: "Sister save me......"

A vicious man rushed over and picked her up by the waist and carried her on his shoulder, and walked farther and farther away, disappearing into the crowd of people coming and going.

Ye Jin anxiously shouted in the sea of people to find, and suddenly someone patted her shoulder, she turned around, Ye Xiang held a long sharp knife and slashed at her, and asked while chopping: "Why don't you save me!" Why don't you save me! ”

"Xiang'er ——!" Ye Jin woke up suddenly, opened his frightened eyes, his chest rose and fell violently, his eyes were open in distraction, and tears were like beads of broken threads, sliding from the corners of his eyes one by one, and submerging into the white hair on his sideburns.

Ming Zisu leaned down and hurriedly held her face and wiped her tears, rubbing her cheeks with her fingertips, and her voice was hoarse: "Xiao Jin......"

Ye Jin's out-of-focus eyes seemed to look into nothingness through his face, he stretched out his hand and tightly grasped the robe on his chest, moved his chapped lips, and his voice was filled with endless sadness: "Why is this ......happening?"

Ming Zisu leaned over and kissed her eyebrows, and softened her voice: "I'm here, don't be afraid." ”

Ming Zisu called water to feed Ye Jin, and after drinking the water, she fell asleep tiredly, maybe it was his soothing effect, she no longer whispered, her eyebrows were no longer tightly clenched, and the cold handkerchief between her foreheads was changed one by one, and in the second half of the night, the heat finally subsided.

The night was as cold as water, Ming Zisu and Chu Mo sat on the corridor outside the hall, and they all looked up at the cold moon in the sky, the moonlight overturned, and the figures of the two were plated with a layer of jade-like brilliance.

"You shouldn't make your own decisions." Mingzi Su opened his mouth coldly, obviously blaming, but he couldn't hear half of the anger in his tone, only a faint helplessness, a helplessness that he couldn't let go of and couldn't protect.

"Could it be that His Highness really wants me to marry her." Chu Mo smiled faintly, sitting in a wheelchair with white clothes and black hair, the night breeze blowing his hair, his temperament was clean, like a spring breeze.

"Your Highness has never personally experienced watching her lover marry her, and she won't understand what kind of torment it is, that day His Royal Highness got married, she stood at the end of the alley and watched the blood in her palms." Obviously looking like he was about to cry, he was still holding on to the cold, thinking that others couldn't see it, but it was actually very obvious.

Ming Zisu looked at the bottomless layers of deep palaces under the dark curtain: "She is kind by nature, and she is not suitable for living in the palace." ”

Chu Mo: "But there is His Royal Highness, instead of being frightened in and out of the palace in the palace, it is better to put it by her side and protect it properly, not to mention, she is still a little smart, doesn't this force the newly married county lord of Juluo to retreat to the position of side concubine as soon as she enters the palace?" ”

Because he promised that as long as she became the head of the East Palace, the Chu family would be the first pillar of the East Palace.

Mingzi Su's eyes were slightly gloomy: "The edge is too strong, and it is not a good thing to make enemies as soon as you enter the palace." ”

Chu Mo smiled, and said with a solemn expression: "Therefore, His Royal Highness can't deal with the concubine, and the reaction is appeased, and General Yun will also send some rewards to the past, which can be regarded as compensation for the county lord of Juluo being demoted to a side concubine, as for the queen's side, Her Royal Highness should also go to ask for guilt, after all, the person she personally picked was killed by His Royal Highness with a rod." ”

These words were obviously already admonitions, Ming Zisu couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Chu Mo in surprise, his eyes were secretive, he couldn't see his emotions, and asked lightly, "Why?" ”

"Naturally, in order not to make the crown princess the target of public criticism." Chu Mo said.

"Why?" Ming Zisu stubbornly asked repeatedly, what he asked was why he suddenly made a statement, the Marquis of Chu said that he had been ill for many years, and he rarely asked about state affairs, and Chu Mo said early that he had no ambition in the temple due to leg disease, so although he and Chu Mo grew up together since childhood, they were friends and close friends, but they never supported each other's friendship, and he didn't understand why Chu Mo suddenly broke the Chu family's rule of not being involved in party disputes and not participating in court politics.

"The wind and rain in the middle of the court are coming, the undercurrent is surging, no one can be alone, Weichen is naturally not exempt from vulgarity, good birds choose trees to perch, I have no contact with the queen's party, and I still have a little childhood friendship here in His Royal Highness."

Chu Mo himself also knew that as soon as these words came out, Ming Zisu must be suspicious, he had never helped him when he was struggling to survive in adversity in the past, and now he is no longer isolated and helpless, and his wings are growing, and he will not easily believe and accept his sudden help, and even more may change from the former gentleman's acquaintance to suspicion and jealousy, but he is gambling, betting that Ming Zisu can tolerate his edge and city government for Ye Jin.

Ming Zisu's eyes gradually became as deep as the sea, rippling with the streamer that he couldn't touch, and after a while, he suddenly smiled, as if he was defenseless: "Thank you." ”

"Your Highness is gracious." Ming Zisu's attitude Chu Mo breathed a sigh of relief, and the tense nerves suddenly relaxed, as if someone had covered his nose for a long time and finally broke free, and the strong fear and palpitations made his palms oozed a fine cold sweat.

However, who could believe that his sudden change was only to complement the position of the person in his heart, even he felt ridiculous.

Neither of them spoke again, and the dim palace lamps on the corridor swayed in the night wind, and the light and shadow were misty.

Mingzi Su narrowed his eyes and yawned, his bloodshot eyes full of tiredness.

Seeing this, Chu Mo couldn't bear to say: "It's late at night, Your Highness will have an early court tomorrow, let's go and rest first, with Xiangying as an example, no one will dare to be unkind to the crown princess." ”

"I'll guard her." Mingzi Su got up, took two steps into the hall and paused: "You and I are not friends of life and death, I should have been suspicious of you, but I don't know why, I just believe you inexplicably." ”

In the confusion, a gentle hand gently stroked the hair on her sideburns, as if a gentle spring breeze was blowing in her ears, Ye Jin woke up in a trance, and saw Ming Zisu sitting silently on the edge of the bed, green silk, lazily pinned behind her ears, sliding down her shoulders softly, covering the edge of the bed. He stared at her intently, the bright moonlight shone on his face through the paper window, Gongzi was like jade, his deep eyes were like ink-colored swirls, tightly absorbing her gaze, seeing her wake up, he smiled softly and said softly: "You are awake." ”

Ye Jin raised his hand and stroked his cyan chin, pricking his hand slightly, he guarded her all night, his eyes suddenly turned red, and Ming Zisu held her hand tightly: "I'll go to Yunfu to get your sister back." ”

"No need."

She shook her head gloomily, she had found it, but her innocent sister was gone......

Suddenly, as if she remembered something, "My father's ashes ......"

"I asked Yu Sang to bury him."

Ye Jin didn't say anything more, a handful of ashes, and he could no longer atone for his sins......

Ming Zisu watched the light in her eyes get darker and darker until it turned gray, and held her face in distress to lock her gaze: "I."

Remember that he didn't treat you well, and it wasn't worth your grudge. ”

It's really not worth it......

Ye Jin didn't have the idea of speaking again, and Ming Zisu also seemed to be in confusion, twisting his eyebrows slightly and thinking about something, lying down in silence and holding her in his arms and sleeping quietly with his eyes closed.

The sky was about to dawn, and there was a commotion outside the hall.

"Your Highness! Oh no! Concubine Xian vomited blood! ”

Ye Jin woke up suddenly, got up and ran out in a panic, fell to the ground with a soft foot, got up and ran out regardless of it, was held tightly by Ming Zisu, and turned back to him with a pair of puzzled eyes, suddenly stunned, she must not want to see her, so she desperately pushed Ming Zisu out: "You go and see her, hurry!" ”

The minions heard the sound in the room and pushed the door in, Mingzi Su lowered his gaze, silently changed his clothes and went out, Ye Jin retracted himself into the quilt and wrapped his knees in a ball, but he was still trembling, it turned out that this was what it was like to push him to someone else's side......

She came with the determination to stay with him, and also with a hatred for Yun Zhen, but at the moment she was at a loss, how to compete with her sister and be jealous......

It was drizzling outside, the rain at the end of summer, refreshing with a hint of coolness, the rain droplets under the eaves became a curtain, and the mood was also damp with the rain falling, and he said to the palace maid next to him sickly: "You go to the concubine to see how she is?" ”

The palace maid left according to her words, and was called back by her: "Forget it, I'll go and see it myself, you lead the way." "It's okay to look at it from afar, she just wants to know if she's okay......

Moon Shadow knelt down in fear: "Niangniang's own body has not healed yet, and it is cold outside, let the slave maid go to see it for you!" "She doesn't dare to make any mistakes, otherwise she will lose her fragrance if she is not careful.

"If you don't lead the way, I'll find it myself."

Ye Jin stepped out of the dormitory without hesitation, and Moon Shadow hurriedly took an umbrella and a burqa and followed: "Niangniang slave is wrong, you slow down......"

"Niangniang, Biluo Palace has arrived," Moon Shadow helped her step up the steps, but was stopped by her: "You go in and ask, I'll wait for you." ”

Moon Shadow did as she was told.

Whispers and gentle words came from the front, but the words were full of ridicule: "Our new princess Niangniang is really unique and unique, when she entered the palace, she was dressed in blood, and at this moment she was standing at the door of the concubine with a wet body, it seems that she is well versed in the way of pleasing men and women, and she is good at confusing men's minds with a pitiful attitude." ”

Ye Jin lowered her head and found that she was only worried about Ye Xiang, standing in the rain and forgetting to move, her shoes and socks were all wet, she knelt down lightly and saluted: "Say hello to the queen." ”

The phoenix crown shook lightly, and the queen smiled very gently and nodded: "I heard that you were sick as soon as you entered the palace, and now the concubine is also sick, it seems that our prince's blessing is not deep enough to protect you." ”

"Mother's words are serious."

The queen raised her eyes and glanced at the sky, and slowly helped the bun behind her head: "I'm really tired after being busy early in the morning, broken jade, go back to rest with the palace." ”

"Yes."

A master and a servant stepped into the rain, Ye Jin was not called up, she turned her head to watch their figures slowly walking away gradually disappear into the rain and mist, suddenly her body was light, she was stopped and hugged by someone, and turned to Mingzi Su's angry face.
