040, you have to live

The west courtyard of the Jade Cui Palace was tightly guarded, and the movement lasted for a few minutes, and then the courtyard was completely quiet.

Concubine Rong hurried out to see, saw the guard over there, patted her heart, and muttered: "I have long seen that Qian Chang is a dishonest thing, and they all say that slaves follow the master, maybe Li promised to seduce the emperor is Qian Chang instigated?!" These sluts are the most hurried to curry favor, they are used to being beaten with rough skin and thick meat, and the matter of the last time they went back to Bixian Pavilion, Concubine Hui was very aggrieved! โ€

Lianye was also frightened, and pulled Rong Concubine to lean out to look: "Master, let's not look at it, it's weird and scary outside, and the slave maid is crazy when I hear that Qian Chang is here!" I'm going to kill my own son! โ€

Concubine Rong took two steps back, stood in the shade for a while, and muttered, "Did you see it, Li promised to cry all the way back like this, and once he entered the courtyard, how long did it take?" Don't shout, I think it's just to cry to the emperor, so that the emperor thinks that she values love and righteousness, thinks she is pitiful, and looks at the soft and weak, and it is not easy to deal with! โ€

Lianye nodded, this morning this is a trouble.

The master and servant were about to go back, Lianye suddenly pulled Rong Concubine's sleeve, and saw that there were people around the Queen Mother hurrying here, not only they had here, but also the West Courtyard and Concubine Ming, Rong Concubine hurriedly took a deep breath and stood upright, and waited for her aunt to come to her and salute before she smiled and asked what was wrong.

The people who came from the Queen Mother's side were all calm and serious, and they beat the warning, which meant nothing else, just that for the sake of the reputation of the four princes in the future, this matter was not allowed to be discussed in the palace, let alone leaked out of the palace.

In the future, even if the palace courtiers spread gossip in private, the cause of Qianchang's death on the bright side will have to follow the wishes of the Queen Mother.

Concubine Rong responded, and wanted to invite her aunt to go in for tea, originally wanted to ask the queen mother more about her attitude and views on this matter, but her aunt refused to stay for a long time, and was about to leave after passing the word.

Concubine Rong breathed a sigh of relief: "Everyone is black-eyed, no one wants to ask." โ€

After speaking, he was helped back to the house by the lotus leaf, and then he slowly realized something else, summoned the lotus leaf again, and asked nervously: "I said those words at the gate of the courtyard just now, and no one listened to them, right?" โ€

Lianye comforted Concubine Rong: "Master rest assured, the slave maid has already beaten the people below, no one dares to go outside to say a word, the big broadsword at home is not for fun, who dares to talk nonsense, the slave and maid have returned to the eldest son, and must have cut off her tongue!" โ€

Concubine Rong was relieved: "The Queen Mother said that she was not allowed to make a noise, if the next person chewed the root of his tongue and affected me, see if I didn't pick the skin of those little cheap hooves!" โ€

I don't know who I'm scolding.

In the main hall, Qiu Zhu closed the curtain in the middle, she just went outside to gather the palace people to give lectures, and she was not allowed to talk nonsense outside, inquire indiscriminately, and gather people to talk and laugh.

When she came back after the training, Concubine Ming was burning a note she had read, and then sighed leisurely: "It's also useless." โ€

Qiu Zhu opened the delicate small gold plate, and when he saw that it was burned clean, he extinguished the sparks inside with water: "Wen's went to the cold palace, I'm afraid I won't be able to pass tonight." โ€

Concubine Ming closed her eyes slightly, and said, "Let's rest early tonight, let the little eunuchs outside the Yucui Palace have more eyes, don't bump into the nobles." โ€

Qiu Zhu was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Niang Niang is saying. . . Lee promised over there? โ€

"The emperor loves her, crying like this, most of the time tonight I have to send a gift to Wen's, let her go, it's good to see." Concubine Ming opened her eyes, slowly sat upright, and got down from the couch, "I saw it clearly, and I knew that the harem was difficult to walk, it was not in those trivial things, and I also knew that the days were still long, it was just a joke, only when the heart was sober, this road was just beginning, she was blessed, and Wen Shi gave her a lesson from the past, so that she would not lose her life in a daze like most people, and when she arrived at the Lord of Yama, she didn't know how to tell the difference." โ€

Who can be clean in this quagmire?

ยท

The aunt beside the Queen Mother entered the West Courtyard and stayed in front of Ruyi's bed to talk.

Momiji led the green sleeves to stand under the stage, looking at the door with a thoughtful face.

The aunt didn't allow them to follow up, and Hongye was beating a drum in her heart, thinking that the emperor was afraid that she would be heartbroken and couldn't get angry, and the queen mother loved her son, so she sent someone to take a look.

Green sleeves were so frightened just now, and their legs were still trembling at this time, and when they saw Momiji standing for a while, they were about to go to the door, and they didn't dare to move at all, so they opened their eyes and saw Momiji boldly lying on the door.

There was no sound inside, my aunt was probably whispering, and she couldn't hear anything from such a distance away from the bed, and there was a door through it.

Momiji frowned, and stood back on tiptoe back with the hem of her skirt.

When Ruyi was first carried back, she cried very loudly and begged the guards to let her out.

The guards were so upset that they said don't bother! The human and material evidence are there, and the emperor and queen are in front of them, can they still be wronged? Ruyi suddenly seemed to have been hit by something, and the whole person lost his soul, so he didn't cry or make trouble all of a sudden.

Then came the aunt next to the queen mother, and as soon as Momiji stood at the bottom of the stairs, the door opened from the inside, and the aunt closed the door when she came out.

"Auntie is well." Hongye stepped forward, with a cautious face, "Aunt Hard, let's go, have a cup of tea, and then leave?" โ€

Her aunt looked at her, then asked Momiji and Green Sleeves to stand side by side and give an instruction.

Because the two of them had followed Ruyi to the front to see it, my aunt asked them to stay here honestly and take good care of the little master, and someone would come over to take them to the front for questioning later.

Greensleeves was so frightened that he didn't dare to look up, and he was known to be trembling.

But Hongye was not very afraid, knowing that at most she was going to record a confession, and after a warning, she took two steps forward and asked, "The slaves and maids are gone, what can the little master do here?" โ€

My aunt looked at her, her eyes were sharp, and Momiji didn't dare to look directly, so she dodged her eyes to the side.

"The girl just has to go, and promise the little master that someone will naturally take care of her." The aunt's tone was light, revealing Weiya.

Momiji didn't dare to say anything more, but her aunt didn't let her send it, and left here directly.

She stood for a moment, letting Greensleeves prepare some food, and then headed inside.

Ruyi curled up on the bed with her face resting on her knees, maintaining this position for a long time.

Momiji sat lightly on the edge of the bed and reached out to cover Ruyi's shoulder: "Ruyi, are you okay?" โ€

Ruyi replied very sullenly.

"It's already like this, don't be too sad, Qian Chang is too obsessed with it and crazy, how can you know? And how can you save her? Momiji pondered his mouth and patted Ruyi's back, "I know that you and Qianchang have feelings, if you feel sad, just cry." โ€

Ruyi didn't move, and after half a ring, Momiji heard her speak in a hoarse voice: "Momiji, you go out, I want to stay by myself for a while." โ€

The movement of Momiji's hand paused, and then retracted curtly: "Why don't you eat something?" I've asked Greensleeves to prepare. โ€

Ruyi repeated: "I want to stay by myself, don't even come in." โ€

Seeing that Momiji couldn't be persuaded, he was a little unhappy and got up and left.

After sitting on the porch outside for a while, he saw Green Sleeves coming over with food, and called her impatiently: "Where are you going?!" โ€

Green Sleeves stopped: "Aren't you sending food to the little master?" โ€

Momiji snorted coldly: "She's very sad, she has no appetite, I just got kicked out, you went in and were kicked again?" โ€

Greensleeves muttered, "That... So what about these things? โ€

Momiji glanced at it and patted the place next to it: "Put it here." โ€

Look, it's not a lot of expensive things, it's just ordinary food.

Green Sleeves carefully put things down, and Red Leaves pointed to the corridor again: "Sit down, there is no one else, our West Courtyard is seen so strictly, others can't get in, we can't get out, the little master is like this, no one wants to see it, why are we so tired of ourselves?" I'll have to be trained later. โ€

Green Sleeves looked terrified: "Sister Momiji, we won't. You won't be killed, will you? โ€

Momiji was amused by her: "This is the palace, and it's not a dock gangster, what do you think, if you are killed, I don't know how many people will be killed." โ€

Only then did Green Sleeves finally let go of her heart, and Momiji repeatedly called her to sit down, and Green Sleeves sat down against the edge of the corridor.

"The little master doesn't eat it, let's eat it, don't waste it." Red leaves are not ambiguous, Ruyi wants to toss herself like this, she doesn't, the days are all for herself, what sisterhood can there be in this palace, Qian Chang is crazy at a good time, if there is such a day in the future, it would be good if the two did not turn against each other!

That is, she, takes this ethereal affection so seriously, Hongye looks down on Ruyi, thinks she is fake, she must be very shrewd when she climbs the dragon bed, and usually pretends to be honest, specifically to deceive the emperor, but the emperor seems to eat her set, when she was in the knitting bureau, she really didn't see it, 'wise and foolish'.

Green Sleeves didn't dare to eat, and she also wanted to persuade Momiji, but she was glared at by Momiji, forcing her to eat two bites as well, and she tied Green Sleeves to her rope and didn't allow her to go down.

Green Sleeves swallowed hard, tears rolling in his eyes, and he lifted his sleeve to wipe it.

Fortunately, Momiji didn't force her to eat half of it, otherwise Green Sleeves would probably cry to death here.

After using a little casually, Momiji asked Green Sleeves to put things away, and then went to the end of the trail to look around to see when someone came.

The aunt said that she would come later, but Momiji didn't see any movement for a while, knowing that such a question would inevitably be difficult to return overnight, so she thought about it and told Green Sleeves to keep watch by the door and pay attention to Ruyi's movements, and go back to the house to sleep.

When it was almost dinner time, someone finally came to the West Courtyard.

Because it was to be interrogated from above, the person who came seemed to be justified, and after the red leaves and green sleeves were taken away, the aunt who had come earlier took a little palace maid who followed her and went inside.

After a stick of incense, the aunt led the little palace maid out again, told a few words to the guards of the west courtyard, and then took advantage of the moonlight, carried a lantern, and walked towards the outside of the Yucui Palace.

There was no one on the palace road at this time, and after walking out for a distance, my aunt said sideways: "The little master, please follow the slave and maid, the cold palace is very desolate, and the slave and maid want to control the wind for the little master at the intersection, so I chose the palace maid Xiangcui of the original Langjing Palace to walk with the little master, time is pressing, and I hope the little master can make a long story short and come out quickly." โ€

Ruyi, who lowered her face, bowed her head slightly, and cried for a day, her throat was so dry that she couldn't hear the original voice: "Thank you, auntie." โ€

My aunt didn't say anything more, she made several turns, and after several doors, she saw a figure standing on the side of the road waiting, and when she got closer, she shouted in a low voice: "Such as... Little Lord? โ€

Ruyi shuddered, raised his eyes, and by the faint candlelight, his eyes were full of terrifying red bloodshots.

The aunt coughed lightly, and both of them stopped talking, and Xiangcui followed behind Ruyi and continued to walk forward.

When she arrived at the door outside the cold palace, her aunt stopped and handed the lantern in her hand to Xiang Cui: "Go in with the little master, don't pass the time, and go back in a hurry." โ€

Xiangcui's hands were shaking when she took the lantern, her throat choked and blocked, and her words of thank you to her aunt were intermittent.

Xiangcui helped Ruyi and continued to walk inside.

The guards in the long alley of the cold palace didn't know where they went, and a crack opened in the dilapidated and old door, and before the light was close, they heard Qianchang's weak voice sounding: "Who?" Ruyi, is that you? โ€

Hearing Qianchang's voice, Ruyi's eyes turned even redder, she raised her hand to wipe her tears, and quickly stepped forward to respond: "It's me, sister." โ€

The lantern was put down by the door, and Qian Chang could be seen leaning against the door, revealing half of her face, full of decadence, but seeing Ruyi, her dull eyes still ignited a little popularity, as if she had grasped the last straw for herself.

Ruyi knelt down by the door and grabbed Qianchang's trembling hand that stretched out from the crack in the door.

Xiangcui also knelt down, and before she could speak, she cried so much that she couldn't breathe.

Qian Chang was looking at Xiang Cui: "They... Didn't embarrass you and Mama Zhao, right? โ€

Xiangcui whimpered and sobbed, "The slave and the grandmother are fine. I was sent to the hard labor bureau by the queen.,Little master.ใ€‚ใ€‚ Don't worry about us, little lord. โ€

Hearing that there was no danger to his life, Qian Changzai breathed a sigh of relief, and then blamed himself: "After all, I still bothered you, Xiangcui, Mama is old, you must take care of Mama more, you know?" โ€

Xiangcui nodded, crying even harder.

After speaking, Qian Changzai retracted his gaze, looked at Ruyi, looked at her red eyes, raised his hand and gently touched her face: "Good boy, don't cry, this is my life, I have already figured it out." โ€

Ruyi looked at Qian Changzai, hoarse, and still said seriously: "What life?" Sister, don't talk nonsense, you wait for me, I will definitely find a way to save you out. โ€

Qian Chang laughed: "Silly girl, I can't get out, the doctors in the hospital have determined that I am insane, and I have insulted the lintel of the heavenly family, and I will not be left to live and hurt my face. โ€

"But you're not crazy!" Ruyi broke down and shouted, tears falling violently, "Obviously not. . . Aren't you talking to me right now? Sister, what the hell is going on. Why did it become like that. โ€

Qian Changzai's expression darkened for a moment, and he muttered, "By the time I came to my senses, the child and Concubine Hui were already injured. There is a problem with the things in Hui Guifei, but the imperial doctor can't find out, it must be something that is hard to find, and it is used on me. Qian often sneered at herself, "She is trying her best to sleep, and she also asks for a good night's sleep." โ€

Ruyi's eyes widened: "Is it Concubine Hui?!" She's the one who wants to hurt you! โ€

Qian Chang clenched Ruyi's hand: "Ruyi, you look at me, you promise me, no matter what, don't mention today's things again." โ€

Ruyi didn't understand, tears were surging, and she had to keep blinking to see her humble face clearly.

After half a ring, Ruyi suddenly broke down in pain and cried: "It's me, it's me who hurt you, if I didn't always mention it in front of the emperor, without the grace of these five days, Concubine Hui Guifei wouldn't be able to hurt you like this!" It's me, it's all my fault. โ€

"Ruyi." Qian Changzai was afraid that she would blame herself and be sad like this, so he shouted at her, "Ruyi!" โ€

"Concubine Hui Guifei is powerful, and she is bound to win the four princes, not today, but also tomorrow, how can she tolerate me, the biological mother, thinking about the child in her arms day and night? She wants me to die, she wants me to die, even if she doesn't have this grace, in the future, she will definitely have other means, Ruyi, it's not your fault, it's the evil people who have evil thoughts, this is my calamity, I can't escape. Qian Chang was holding Ruyi's hand, trembling vigorously, although she was talking to Ruyi so calmly at this moment, she clearly knew that she was dying, Qian Chang was still trembling with fear, "I figured it out, I figured it all out, as long as I live, Concubine Hui will never be able to solve the knots in her happiness, and she will never really accept the four princes, treat the four princes well, only when I die, is the best for the four princes!" โ€

Qian Chang took a few deep breaths, raised his hand again, and wiped the tears on Ruyi's face: "Ruyi, in this palace, I don't have anyone to entrust, I can only be selfish, and entrust my little wish to you, in this harem, some people can be the mother of the four princes, and some people will love him, but in this world, only I can die for him, as long as it is for his good, as long as I don't drag others down, I can do anything, I am relieved and happy." โ€

"But I always think that the emperor loves you so much now, maybe in the future. In the future, you will be more prosperous than me, and you will have a position and a concubine, and the day when you will be a concubine, if you have the opportunity, I will always look forward to it. I hope that my child can be raised under your knees, and I can listen to you tell me what kind of mother I am, and everything will be fine. โ€

Ruyi pursed her lips and trembled.

Qian Changzai seemed to have thought of that scene, she smiled, and then withdrew her hand, and took off the last hairpin from her head, she made up her mind, it was the last decision and last words of the person who was going to die.

The long hairpin was held tightly by her, and Qian Chang said softly: "Ruyi, bear with me." โ€

Ruyi stared at Qian Changzai's movements, and before she could react to endure something, Qian Changzai had already stabbed the back of her hand hard.

"Ruyi, live well! Gotta Live! โ€
