When Xinyue knew about His Majesty's fainting and Rong Ying's supervision of the country, she glanced back at Queen Chai, who was already dressed and covered with armor, there were already many people around her who were accompanying her, and when she was about to leave, Aunt Yue came out, but Xinyue "County Lord, next, what should I do?" ”

Aunt Yue's voice was not loud, but it spread throughout the room, and the ears of all the female dependents, at this time, the princess Bai Shi, who was sitting beside her daughter, immediately stood up, walked to Xinyue's side in a few steps, and grabbed Xinyue's arm.

Xinyue paused, and immediately said, "Madam, what's wrong?" ”

"You are not from this palace, nor are you the concubine of the crown prince, what qualifications do you have to give orders here." Bai Shi grabbed Xinyue's arm very hard, Xinyue looked down at the hand on his wrist that was so old that only skin and bones remained, and was about to speak, but Aunt Yue took the initiative to relieve Xinyue and said, "At the beginning, it was the prince who brought the Xinyue County Lord in, and it was also the Xinyue County Lord who called the burial grandmother." Before you came in, the Crescent Moon Lord had been in charge of this Kun Palace. ”

Bai Shi glanced at the new moon, and heard that the new moon was brought in by Rong Ying, but he said, "He intends to make you ..."

"Don't be mistaken, ma'am. It's just that His Royal Highness needed to bring in a female dependant with some status at that time in order to be in charge. And I was right in front of him, and he brought me in. Although I can't compare to the princess and the crown prince's side concubine, I am the niece of His Majesty and the grandson of the Queen Mother, and I still have some weight when I talk in the inner palace. Just now I have sent someone to call Cao Guifei to come, and now I am just waiting for Cao Guifei to come, and I will discuss with His Royal Highness the Prince's side concubine and continue to handle the queen's funeral, so that I can be regarded as having completed His Royal Highness's entrustment. The new moon raised her eyebrows and said to Bai Shi seriously.

Bai Shi carefully examined the new moon, and saw that there was no flickering in her eyes, and her words showed that she was not half selfish, and felt that she was not too hostile, so she let go of the new moon's hand, "Then it is hard for you to do more than that." ”

"Yes, Madame is right. Since Cao Guifei is here, I will explain a few words to the concubine, and then I can retreat. It just so happened that this was Concubine Cao Guifei walking in, and when she saw the Bai family, she also bowed her knees, and it seemed that she was also in the same faction as the queen, so the Bai family also let go of the new moon.

Xinyue and Cao Guifei walked to the outer room together, and Aunt Yue also followed, "Girl, your merits are all in your eyes, and the old slave is in her eyes, madam, she is only sad because she lost the queen mother, and she is like this." ”

"My aunt is outside, before Jue'er, Niangniang also regarded me as her own daughter, I have it in my heart, and now that Niangniang is gone, I am also repaying her filial piety." Xinyue patted Aunt Yue's hand, and Aunt Yue was relieved.

Cao Guifei has been following the queen assistant to the sixth palace, and she is also very clear about the next thing, she heard Xinyue say where it is now, and when she was about to open her mouth to continue the arrangement, there was a voice outside, "The crown prince and concubine have arrived." ”

Feng'er pulled Xinyue's sleeve with some fear, Xinyue was also heartbroken, but she was much calmer than Feng'er, and continued to say to Cao Guifei, "Niangniang, since you have explained things clearly, Xinyue will go to the front to visit Your Majesty, and then deal with His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

Cao Guifei is Cao Jie's aunt, favored by His Majesty, and also gave birth to a son for His Majesty, but she was not able to raise her, she is a high-ranking concubine second only to the queen in the palace, and Xinyue is also polite and kind, and said to Xinyue, "That's hard for you, go." ”

Xinyue knew Kun Palace very well, Chai Bijun came in from the main gate, and Xinyue and Hao'er went out through the side door and went to the Qiandian where His Majesty was.

Along the way, white cloth has been hung everywhere, and the palace people have also changed into plain clothes according to Xinyue's instructions, Xinyue was a little in a trance, and Feng'er supported Xinyue, "Girl, fortunately, we left, if it is with Cheshire... When Concubine Chai met, she said a few words to you, we will definitely have a conflict with her. ”

Xinyue blinked, turned back to Feng'er and said, "What, are you afraid of her?" ”

"The slave is not afraid of her. In the past, you were the county lord, she was also the county lord, and she was still an empty county lord with no fiefdom, so we naturally wouldn't be afraid of her. But now, she has become the side concubine of His Royal Highness the Prince, and His Majesty has also fallen seriously ill, and she will become the concubine of the new monarch in the future, just like the beautiful and elegant Cao Guifei just now, and you... We have always been on discord with Concubine Chai, if she wants to make you ugly, the slave is afraid that you will be angry. "Feng'er pulls the crescent moon and worries about it.

Xinyue wanted to laugh, but now was not the occasion to laugh, and said, "It turns out that Feng'er dislikes my low status." I have always had some friendship with Cao Guifei, if you want to serve the elegant and beautiful concubine, I can arrange you to be by her side. ”

"Girl, the slave maid is worried about you, the slave maid wants to serve one person, that is the girl, whether the girl is the queen mother or the grass people, whether the slave maid wears the kind of silk clothes on Aunt Yue's body, or accompanies the girl to beg for food, she is the girl's slave." Feng'er tightened her grip on Crescent Moon's arm.

Crescent Moon patted her arm, then sighed, "How I don't know your loyalty, but I can't let you be an old girl for the rest of your life." The soldier who intersected with you had already asked Mama Wang to tell me about the marriage, but now that I have met the national funeral, I am afraid that it will be delayed for a few years, but fortunately, you are not very old, and it is not too late to get married at the age of twenty. ”

The master and servant were talking, the dry hall was close in front of them, surrounded by forbidden legions, and there were ministers waiting to visit outside the hall, Xinyue was a female dependent, and she couldn't walk through the main gate, so she entered from the side door, and asked the palace maid in front of the palace to call Zhang Dagonggong beside His Majesty, Xinyue knew that Zhang Gonggong was the one who helped Rong Ying, and Rong Ying would also know before the message.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Rong Ying to walk out, and when she saw the new moon, she was curious, "Is there anything going on over there in Kun Palace?" ”

"There is something to do, but I have already handed it over to Concubine Cao and your side concubine, and now it can be regarded as a successful retirement, and I will not overstep my responsibilities." Xinyue looked at Rong Ying who was still wearing the clothes she was wearing, and her eyebrows were still full of thoughts.

Rong Ying saw that Xinyue's face had a faint sense of resentment, and then raised her eyebrows, "Did someone say something about you?" ”

Xinyue shook her head, "Since someone is already busy, the matter I promised you is over, I want to go in and see my uncle, and then go back." ”

At this time, it was almost dusk, and after being busy for most of the day, this matter was finally on the right track.

"Let's go, come in with me." As he spoke, Rong Ying led the new moon and went to the dry hall.

Xinyue followed behind Rong Ying, seeing that he was a little tired and hung his shoulders, but "Is there something wrong?" ”

Rong Ying didn't expect Xinyue to take the initiative to care about him, but he didn't want to talk about his worries, but continued to go inside with Xinyue.

Entering the inner hall of the Qiangong Palace, Xinyue felt that she had often come here when she was a child, but since Rong Zhao got married, Xinyue seemed to have never come again.

The door of the palace was closed at the moment, and the imperial doctor was administering the needle to His Majesty, so the two of them could only wait outside the hall.

There is a seat outside the hall, and there is a tray on one side, and there is a plain dress in the tray, Rong Ying took advantage of this effort to put on the plain clothes, but he couldn't sort out the collar at the back, and the new moon saw that on the tray, there was also a white ribbon to tie his hair, so he said to Rong Ying, "You sit down first, I'll get it for you." ”

Rong Ying was a little flattered, looked at Xinyue in disbelief, and saw that she did stretch out her hand, and immediately sat sideways on the round stool on the side.

Crescent reached out and straightened his collar for him.

Rong Ying is an extremely tall man, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, who has practiced martial arts all year round, and his body is also muscular, even if he is wearing clothes, he can still see a faint outline.

Rong Ying shuddered, it was Xinyue's fingers, touching his skin, her hands were very cold, Rong Ying turned around, and saw that Xinyue's face was very bad, so Xinyue "Are you very uncomfortable?" ”

"It's not a big deal, when it comes to good health, I know a piece of news..."After the collar was arranged, Xinyue picked up the white ribbon on one side and wrapped the golden crown on Rong Ying's hair.

"Do you still have a twist?" Rong Ying lowered his head and saw that Xinyue was in front of him.

"It's not about me, it's about your son, Lian'er, has he been unwell lately?" Xinyue thought about it, although Rong Ying was in chaos now, it seemed that there was no more idle time than now.

Rong Ying nodded, "He is now three years old, and it is said that children before the age of three are the most difficult to support, I am afraid that it is because he is often sick, how can he suddenly get up." ”

The new moon fixed the white silk with the long hairpin between Rong Ying's hair, and then said to Rong Ying, "You go and check, whether he is often sick because of his young age, or because of something else." That's all I know, okay, I've got it sorted out. ”

Because His Majesty is seriously ill, if there is no summons, there are not often people in the outer hall who disturb His Majesty's cultivation, and in such an empty hall, there are only Rong Ying, the new moon, and the Feng'er standing outside the curtain.

Rong Ying stood up and lowered her eyes to look at Xinyue with her head down, but "You said someone hurt Lian'er?" ”

"I've just heard people say, it's best if not." Xinyue saw the jade bracelet on her wrist, and Jiang Lianyue gave her, "That time I passed through the state, and I had a relationship with Lianyue, she gave me such a valuable jade bracelet, I have to repay it." If it's okay, just to reassure me, you'll send someone to investigate. As she spoke, Xinyue raised her head and looked at Rong Ying with anticipation in her eyes.

Rong Ying couldn't hold it back, lowered her head, and quickly pressed it on the crescent moon's mouth, took a step back, looked at the crescent moon's raised slap, and grabbed it neatly.

Then he admired the new moon's cheeks turning red, and he didn't care if it was out of place, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Well, I'll go and check, I'll send someone now." ”

Xinyue was indignant and wanted to take back her hand, but Rong Ying grabbed it tightly, "Let go, let go of me." ”

Rong Ying relaxed the strength in his hand and asked Xinyue to take back his hand, and then he turned back pretending to be nothing, looked at the inner hall, and said to Xinyue, "The imperial doctor should finish the diagnosis and treatment, you go in and have a look, I will send someone to check on Lian'er's affairs, and I won't send you out of the palace." ”

Saying that, he passed by Xinyue, Xinyue could see that he had a smile and smugness on his face that had not yet been restrained, and he was really angry in his heart, his elbow was forced, and he slammed it on Rong Ying's back, Rong Ying stumbled and almost fell to the ground, and after he stood firm, he looked back and saw that Xinyue was fleeing, and ran into the inner hall with her little maid.

Rong Ying lowered his head, he couldn't laugh now, but he just couldn't help the pleasant itch in his heart, the corners of his mouth went up, showing his teeth, and the panicked figure all proved that she was Xu Xinyue, the Xu Xinyue he had always put in his heart. His father said that he did not know what a lover was, but he could be sure that the joy and ripples in his heart were caused by the person he loved.

Xinyue walked into the inner hall, through the curtain, sorted out her appearance, and just stood firm, Gonggong Zhang walked out, "The county lord is here, the imperial doctor has just withdrawn the needle, the county lord go in and take a look." ”

As she said, the new moon walked into the bedroom, so big that she couldn't see the edge of the dragon couch, and His Majesty was like a dead leaf. The pale face, the frowning brows, and the tears flowing from the corners of her eyes all made Xinyue's heart ache, and she took out her handkerchief and wiped away her tears for Her Majesty, while she could say to Grandpa Zhang, "How is Uncle?" ”

Gonggong Zhang sighed and said, "The imperial doctor just left, and before leaving, he said that His Majesty has only been in the past few days." ”

"What?" Xinyue just saw that His Majesty could still walk up to the city tower, but it was only half a day, so how could it be like this.

"Your Majesty has been taking care of Niangniang day and night, and he has exhausted his mental strength, plus he has not been in good health for the past few years, and the blow of the first prince has also made His Majesty sick for several months. Now, the former prince, whom His Majesty has always been proud of, and the love of his heart have left him, and the imperial doctor said that His Majesty's heart is extremely painful and can no longer support it. As he spoke, Father-in-law Zhang also shed tears.

Xinyue pursed her lips, she always knew how much His Majesty loved the queen, loved the house and Wu, Rong Zhao was also like the flesh of his heart, and then looked at Rong Ying, he was not his son at all, he had been fostered outside, and he couldn't listen to it, but now he fell down because he couldn't stand the blow, leaving such a big stall, which made Rong Ying think about him, so Xinyue couldn't help but say, "Uncle is so kind to the people he loves, but he is so cruel to people who don't care about him." ”

"County Lord, you can't say that." Gonggong Zhang looked around, and saw that no one dared to continue to say to Xinyue, "County Lord, it seems that he is holding grievances for His Royal Highness the Prince." But you are so smart, why can't you understand why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has someone like King Lian who has been raised and raised, and a servant, who should be the most even-handed official, would take care of His Royal Highness for no reason? County Lord, you should know why. ”

Xinyue nodded, and then said a little coldly, "What's the use of doing this secretly, but in the end, it will be a problem to raise a tiger." ”
