Chapter 16: Physical Abnormality

The next day, King Ying Ning really arranged for someone to lead Ruoxin to the Jingyuan in Beiyuan. In the past few days of Yingning Palace, Ruoxin has also experienced the scenery of Beiyuan, the Qinxin Garden where King Yingning sleeps alone and the three halls and four courtyards in Beiyuan are the most important buildings in the apse of the entire palace, each courtyard has its own characteristics, but they are all rich and magnificent, and the scenery is beautiful. And the people who can live here are naturally the most favored ladies in the palace of King Yingning and the most favored by King Yingning.

This relocation was also personally arranged by the chief steward of Yingning Palace, which shows the importance attached to this matter.

As soon as you enter the courtyard gate of Jingyuan, you will see the green pine and green bamboo, a corner of the courtyard is planted with a few elegant white plums, the cold fragrance is fragrant, the plum petals are like white jade, the heart is like rouge, it seems to be a very precious variety. The garden is huge, and there are many flowers that cannot be named, and in the cold winter, I don't know what method they used to make these flowers bloom against the season, so the whole courtyard seems to be in spring.

Ruoxin followed the maid who led the way and walked in the garden for a long time before arriving at the main courtyard. In the main courtyard, people are busy cleaning their bedrooms and setting up furniture. It is really the North Garden, so small that even the doors and windows of the house are finely carved. The clothes and pillows, tables, chairs, and cabinets inside are all of the highest quality, both rich and elegant, and the wax table, which is also made of silver, and is carved with delicate patterns.

It's really not used to living in such an expensive house. Ruoxin thought back to the location of the Jing Courtyard, the south was the Yonghe Hall of the side princess, and the west was Ruan Xiyan's West Courtyard, I really didn't know what kind of heart King Ying Ning had arranged for her here.

Ruoxin sighed secretly, and before her thoughts were broken, she heard the subordinates inside shouting "Mrs. Jingyuan" in unison.

Ruoxin choked, looked up at the subordinates who stopped their work and greeted her in astonishment, and the blue tendons on her forehead jumped unconsciously.

Lady Jingyuan?

The cold hairs stood on end.

Ruoxin found her voice after a while, and smiled at the corner of her mouth, "The prince didn't make me a wife, but now I live here temporarily, you still call me sir." ”

Several of the servants looked at each other, not knowing how to speak, but the chief steward came in from outside and ordered, "Do as the master instructs." ”

Then he turned his head and saluted Ruoxin, and said respectfully: "Disturb Mr., it stands to reason that the masters who moved into the West Garden are all the wives canonized by the prince." But the prince said, now you are the master of the Jingyuan, and everything is up to you. ”

This kind of grace has never been there, Ruoxin looked sideways, and saw the unconcealable amazement and envy in the eyes of several maids who cleaned up.

Also, in their opinion, she is just an ordinary gentleman, and she can suddenly turn into a phoenix overnight, and many of them are the daughters of wealthy businessmen who voluntarily entered the palace to become the servant of King Yingning, and naturally they are looking forward to being favored by King Yingning one day, and their grace is endless.

It's a pity that they can only see the superficial wealth, but they forget that King Yingning is not a good person.

Putting aside these complicated matters, Ruoxin turned back to the chief steward and asked, "You should be in charge, Ah Li has something to inquire about." ”

The chief steward bowed his head, "Don't dare, sir, but take orders." ”

Ruoxin smiled: "It's not an order, it's just that I want to ask, can the agreement I made with the steward before entering the mansion still count?" ”

"Agreed?" The chief steward thought for a moment, and then said, "Is the gentleman asking about a trip out of the house on three days?" ”

"Exactly."

The chief steward paused slightly, nodded and said, "The prince said, there is no restriction on the whereabouts of Mr., Mr. is free to do as he pleases." When the gentleman goes out, can I arrange for a guard to follow him? ”

"No need." Ruoxin shook her head, "I'm just going to the outer city and I'll be back in the evening, so I don't have to bother." ”

......

The chief steward really didn't arrange any guards to follow, but just called in a maid from outside, saying that it was allocated to her by King Yingning, and that she came to serve her, and called her name. Although Dao Ming is just a maid, she is also well-groomed and smart. Ruoxin saw that her eyes were clear and her skills were agile, I am afraid that it is not just as simple as a maid of the waiter, but I am afraid that there is another intention to monitor.

However, Ruoxin didn't break it, and accepted it with a smile. Daoming's words and deeds are also measured, respectful and polite, but it does not make people feel that they are being watched.

Towards evening, Ruoxin and Michimei went to the courtyard of the outer city together. Getting out of the carriage with a burden, Ruoxin let the name of the Tao be casual and walked in.

Just a few steps into the door, it seemed to hear a sound, crackling footsteps came from the house, a fat aunt propped up the white cloth curtain, poked her head out to look at the yard, found that it was Ruoxin, hurriedly shook her hand and ran forward, pulled her hand into the house, and shouted: "It's you, sister, you came back just in time, your man is sick." ”

"Sick?" The fat aunt grabbed it tightly, and she seemed to be in a hurry.

The fat aunt said while panting and walking: "It seems that something is wrong since you left yesterday, this morning the old man of my family sent food, and I only knew when I saw him lying on the bed and sick." I don't know what the disease is, on such a cold day, the body is so cold that it makes people tremble to the touch, so clear that a child can't be stupid. ”

Ruoxin twisted her eyebrows and quickened her pace into the room.

The room was still the same as it was, with a wooden bed against the wall that took up almost half of the room, and next to it was an old wooden table with a somewhat rotten smell and a bowl of steaming potion on it. Love lay quietly on the wooden bed, covered with a somewhat rough futon, his face was as pale as paper, and his delicate eyebrows were slightly frowned.

Ruoxin walked over, put the burden on the table, bent down and gently put her hand on Qingzhi's forehead, and measured the temperature, which was really cold.

In the past month or so, her body has gradually become no different from ordinary people, although she does not have the ability of a priest now, she can also sense that the cold ghost aura on her body has gradually dissipated. Now that she touches the body of love, she is as cold as a stone, but she is more like the original her.

Removing the hand of love from the futon, Ruoxin listened carefully to the pulse of love for a moment.

Compared with the love in Wanchun County, the hands that were a lot thinner were weakly closed, and there was no life, because of the thinness, the green tendons on the back of the hands were particularly obvious, Ruoxin's eyebrows frowned deeper, and after a long time, Ruoxin put his hand back into the cold quilt, moved his eyes back to the delicate face of love, and called softly, "Love." ”

The love is still quiet, and there is still no response.

The fat aunt watched from the side, saw Ruoxin's frowning appearance, and hurriedly comforted and said, "Sister, don't worry, my man has already gone to call the doctor." She pointed to the medicine bowl on the table and said: "This is our family's earthwork, I don't know if my brother has a cold, in short, this medicine does not hurt the body, so I boiled it and let him drink it first, and I have already drunk a bowl at noon, which is the portion of the evening." ”

Ruoxin nodded, she smelled the medicine, the patch is the poor family's local method to ward off the cold, and it is really no big deal to drink it. Ruoxin took out a silver ingot from her waist bag, took out a bundle of paper bags from the burden on the table, handed it to the fat aunt and said, "Thank you Fat Aunt, this is this month's rent, this bag is your Huzi's favorite dim sum." ”

"Sister, don't spend money on these things next time, slander that kid from Huzi." The fat aunt took the paper bag, looked at the ingot of silver and said, "The big brother has already given us the rent." ”

"Those who don't eat much money, and the fat aunt doesn't send us anything. Those silver are just a little bit of our mind, and we trouble the fat aunt a lot on weekdays. Seeing that the fat aunt shook her head, Ruoxin said again: "It's a big deal, the big brother went hunting, and cut more meat for my husband to make up for his body." ”

The fat aunt is also a bold person, and after thinking about it, she no longer pushes back, "That's naturally indispensable, the eldest brother has a sister, you are really blessed as a lady." ”

Ruoxin didn't say a word, paused for a moment, and said, "Fat aunt, you've been busy for a day, let's go and rest first, I'll take care of it here." ”

"Then I'll go back first, what's the matter, you call at the gate, I'll come over."

"Good. The fat aunt walked slowly. Ruoxin got up and sent the fat aunt out of the door, and walked back to the bedside.

The sky slowly got a little darker, Ruoxin lit the oil lamp, and noticed a sight, Ruoxin lowered her head, she didn't know when she had woken up, and she turned her face slightly sideways, looking at her fixedly.

The deep eyes are like two black jade sunk under the water, clear and clear, reflecting the dim fire of the oil lamp on the table, and there is a slight temperature.

"Are you awake?"

Qingzhi blinked slowly, nodded, and then coughed lightly, and said in a somewhat hoarse voice, "Why are you back?" ”

Ruoxin only comes once every three days on weekdays, and she just left yesterday, but she didn't expect her to come today. It was also because of her unexpected return that she discovered his strangeness.

Ruoxin didn't answer his words, just looked at him quietly for a long time, and asked, "Tell me the truth, is your body like this every time you have had a bed?" ”
