"Girl, you're awake!" The sound of surprise, piercing the darkness, crossed time and space, and recalled clearly in Rong Ruo's ears.

Rong Ruo's chaotic thoughts all came to an abrupt end at this moment, her five fingers slowly clenched into a fist, the cloth rubbed by her fingers was ironed softly, and the fine needles and threads at the corners were almost invisible, but they brought her a strange reality.

Yuegui hurriedly got up and sat up, and helped Rong Ruo: "It's all slaves and maids who are not good, the girl is suffering, girl, are you okay, what else is uncomfortable, slave and maid...... Hmm-" I don't know where Laurel touched, I couldn't help but gasp in pain and shouted.

Rong Ruo propped herself on the ground and moved, her body didn't exert much strength, she leaned against the corner of the wall, and lay down on the ground full of straw, the smell from her nose was very strong, and the straw didn't know how long it took to use, in addition to the countless rancid and foul smells around her, there was also a strong smell of dampness.

After Rong Ruo got used to the darkness, he vaguely recognized the outline of the laurel by the faint light of the fire, and said loudly: "Are you okay?" As soon as the voice came out, Rong Ruo felt that his throat was dry and hoarse, as if mixed with sand, and his swallow was painful.

"It's okay, the slave is fine." Yuegui shook her head and opened her mouth with a crying voice, "The slave maid is distressed by the girl, so she was sent to this place after being sinned, in a place like the prison, where should the girl come, but Concubine Lin said that the fetus in the princess's womb was harmed by the girl, and the girl has treated the princess several times, where is the reason to save people first, the concubine was originally to protect the girl, but she couldn't stand Concubine Lin's trouble, so she had to go to the emperor to comment, and in the end the concubine couldn't ...... Girl, you have suffered. ”

Rong Ruo lowered her head and smiled silently, the place where she was beaten by the cane was a traumatic injury, except for the heart-rending pain at the beginning, now I don't know if she is numb or weak, but she can't feel it, and it doesn't hurt so much, but she was soaked in cold water and almost suffocated, but the cold in the wax moon is even worse for her body.

Rong Ruo touched the clothes on her chest, Yue Gui didn't know if she could see or feel Rong Ruo's movements, and hurriedly said: "The concubine asked someone to send new clothes, and the slave maid changed the girl just now. ”

Rong Ruo thought about it, Concubine Jin deserved to be the imperial concubine, and she was really thoughtful in all aspects, so that others couldn't find fault with it.

However, Rong Ruo thought sarcastically, among the people who wanted her life, I am afraid that Concubine Jin is also in the front, if Yuegui knows the truth, it will be funny.

"What about the cloak I wore into the palace?" When Rong Ruo was beaten with a cane, Mama Liu was afraid that the cloak was too thick to make her feel pain, so she specially called someone to take it off and throw it aside, so it was still good that the cloak was not permeable.

Yuegui leaned close to Rong Ruo's surroundings, staring at the surroundings cautiously and vigilantly, as long as there was movement, she could jump up immediately, and when she heard Rong Ruo's question, she hurriedly said: "The slave maid was originally going to be used for the girl to wear, but the concubine said that the cloak was not warm when it was over the water, so she didn't take it." ”

Rong Ruo bent the corners of her mouth, a sneer flashed under her dark eyes, when she took off her cloak, she took the opportunity to stuff all the medicinal powder on her body into it, without the cloak, she couldn't even apply some ointment to the wound now.

Rong Ruo flattened her legs, and with the help of Yue Gui, she grabbed a shabby quilt from the side and covered most of it, Rong Ruo was a little uncomfortable with the smell, fortunately she was not really pampered since she was a child, but it was not very difficult, she opened her mouth to speak, diverted her attention and said: "That is to say, Concubine Lin decided that I had harmed the crown princess, and Concubine Jin had no choice but to put me in prison, so who found out that I was in the hands of Mama Liu, and Concubine Jin Guifei's person or Concubine Lin herself said it?" ”

If Rong wants to come, the latter is estimated to be unlikely, seeing that Mama Liu's posture is with Concubine Lin's acquiescence, no matter what she explains in the end, she plans to kill her, anyway, Concubine Lin must have the so-called evidence in her hands, and she is not afraid that she and the East Palace will trouble her behind the Jingwang Mansion.

Even if Rong Ruo knew that it was impossible for Mu Beichen to fight the scene of open confrontation with Concubine Lin in the East Palace for himself, outsiders didn't know it, that is to say, what Concubine Lin held in her hand was very important, so important that she didn't have to worry about King Jing's Mansion, and so important that even Concubine Jin didn't refute Concubine Lin.

Yuegui pulled the broken quilt for Rong Ruo, and put more hay behind her to make her sit more comfortably, and then said: "The slave and maid are not very clear, originally the slave and maid were locked up in the miscellaneous room, Shu Qing took a few people to find the slave and maid, and the slave and maid knew that Mama Liu had actually done such a crazy thing to the girl, fortunately, God blessed, she finally caught up, and the slave and maid were scared to death." ”

In the heavy blackness, Rong Ruo pinched Yuegui's wrist soothingly, and smiled silently and comforted: "If something happens to me, you just have to go back to Mingyue Palace." ”

After experiencing the dream-like scene, Rong Ruo was suddenly relieved, everything before was delusional, and then everything was up to her choice, from now on, Xiao Ran was buried in the depths of her heart, becoming the most secret name that can never be touched.

Maybe what people saw before they died was their biggest obsession, and the shot that Xiao Ran personally fired may be her farewell ceremony for herself. Three-two

Rong Ruo looked up at the pitch-black overhead, the sporadic firelight was like fireflies flying in summer, which could not bring light to the night, but it was the only solace that people found in the boundless darkness.

Rong Ruo, Rong Ruo, what has changed is not only the name, but also the earth-shaking fate.

Yuegui couldn't see Rong Ruo's expression, and she didn't know what she was thinking in a trance now, her legs moved, she carefully sat near Rong Ruo to avoid the injury, bit her lip, and choked up: "The slave just thinks that the girl treats the slave and the maid differently than Banxia." ”

Rong Ruo turned his head sideways, his fingers flicked the old cotton turned out of the torn quilt, his quiet eyes were as bright as stars in the dark night, and he said with a smile: "Do you think it's unfair?" ”

"No......" Yuegui lowered her head and twisted the handkerchief in her hand with both hands, "The slave and maid should not have said this, but the slave and maid understood that the girl's heart was like a mirror, and she must know the slave's position, so she ...... it."

At the beginning, Yuegui was placed by Rong Ruo's side by Mama Lu, but in order to stare at Rong Ruo's every move, whether she had seen anyone, and said something that should not be said, Yuegui did not know the details inside, but she truthfully fed back to Mama Lu, and when the news of Mama Lu's violent death came out, she was never summoned to the palace, so she mostly guessed that there was an agreement between Concubine Jin and Miss Rong, not that Concubine Jin felt sorry for no one around Rong Ruo as she seemed on the surface, so she rewarded herself.

The corners of Rong Ruo's mouth raised slightly, and said with a smile: "Yuegui, you are actually a smart person, there are many things that I don't need to say, you will grasp the size of this, since you asked, I will tell you frankly today, among the three of you, I regard Banxia as a sister, I trust the ability of the green finch, and you, I think you are within the position, I can understand, but I don't want you to cross my bottom line." ”

Yuegui raised her head, in the dark environment, she could hardly see anything, only Rong Ruo's bright eyes were like the twinkling stars in the sky, Yuegui's fingers curled up, pursed her lips and said: "The slave knows, but the green finch ......" Yue Gui didn't understand, it was also sent to Rong Ruo by others, why Rong Ruo trusted the green finch so much, and gave everything to the green finch, just because the green finch was the person of King Jing?

"I believe in Greenfinch's character, and even if she will consider the position of her old master, she will never betray her principles, which is based on the beliefs that Greenfinch has long believed in, which has been deeply rooted in her." Rong Ruo turned his head, looked straight ahead, his voice was indifferent, and he couldn't hear joy and anger: "Yuegui, if one day there is a conflict between me and Concubine Jin, or the Yue Palace, when it is time to survive, only one of them will remain, and when it is your turn to choose, what will you do?" ”

Yuegui's eyes trembled, her fingers clenched the hay on the ground, her lips squirmed a few times, and she made a faint voice: "I...... I ......"

"You mentioned Concubine Jin a total of five times from the time I woke up just now, and from your tone, I can't hear your admiration for the imperial concubine." Rong Ruo raised his hand and made a gesture to stop, and slowly closed his eyes: "It's still the same sentence, if something happens to me, you can go back to Mingyue Palace." ”

It is also this dream that tells Rong Ruo that a person's past is not a piece of cloth, it is torn off when it is torn off, and the trajectory of life is woven little by little by countless small dots, maybe a moment that you have not paid attention to, has already buried the bits and pieces that affect your life, but you didn't have the intention at the beginning, and when you encounter an accidental trigger, the bits and pieces will come together, and maybe everything you are now will change.

Yuegui has been in Mingyue Palace since she entered the palace, everything in her life is inseparable from the shadow of Mingyue Palace, Rong Ruo left her for the heart of Concubine An Jin, and Yuegui is very familiar with the things in the palace, which is also convenient for her to act on weekdays.

But Rong Ruo's words just now also made it clear that when you have the traces of Mingyue Palace on your body, it will never be possible to get the trust that matches it.

This heaven and earth instantly quieted down, and the slight crackling sound of the torch seemed to be amplified several times, exploding in Yuegui's ears, and she raised her eyes to look at Rong Ruo, who seemed to be asleep, and her eyelids drooped, covering the emotions surging in her eyes.

East Palace

The morning light was faintly bright, and a small courtyard farthest away from the East Palace seemed to have just experienced a catastrophe - kicking the broken wooden basin; crumpled white deerskin paper after it is soaked and then dried; stains of blood on the ground that turned brown; A large vat that rolled on the ground at an angle and was frozen......

Mu Beichen stood under the pomegranate tree, standing tall, with one hand behind his back, his peerless face was covered with a frost-like and slightly cool look, the whole person exuded a noble and indifferent atmosphere, his deep black eyes stared coldly at the embarrassment in the courtyard, he didn't know what he was thinking, and there was no expression on his face.

Duan Yi and Green Sparrow landed beside Mu Beichen one after the other, the two glanced at each other, Duan Yi frowned and said, "Lord Wang, my subordinates have found that someone is blocking our news, and they have a tendency to deliberately mislead. ”
