Xu Yu replied politely, but Qin Se trembled suddenly, tears filled his eyes, and he raised his head slightly, so that he didn't fall.

"You don't... Should come here..."

Xu Yu smiled bitterly, "Niangniang rest assured, if you are in your own position, you will not disturb Niangniang and miss the glory and wealth of Niangniang." ”

Qin Se's heart chuckled, "I... That was not what I meant... I just want to say that the deep palace is sinister, there is chaos between the eldest princess and the emperor, and when you enter the palace, you will undoubtedly become a hostage in the hands of the emperor..."

Xu Yu raised his eyes, looked directly at Qin Se, and asked rhetorically: "The deep palace is sinister, why did Niangniang enter the palace?"

Qin Se was slightly stunned, her lips squirmed, but she couldn't say half a word, she was silent for a long time, sighed lightly, and pulled out a resolute smile, "Wealth is in danger." ”

Xu Yu's expectations gradually fell lonely, and Wan Er smiled, "In this case, the lowly position is also to come to this treacherous place to seek wealth and wealth." ”

"But you don't need to!"

Qin Se scolded sharply, "You are the son of the family, the nephew of the eldest princess, you were born with glory and wealth, you don't need to come here to beg, you are not suitable for this, you should not come here..."

Xu Yu chuckled, not caring about Qin Se's scolding.

"I promised to go to the battlefield, I went through life and death, and I was just a deep palace, what is it?"

"But..."Qin Se trembled and choked up: "This is a deep palace, but it is a place where you eat people and don't spit out bones..."

Xu Yu's eyes darkened slightly, and he resolutely bowed and said: "Please don't say much about the things decided by the humble position." In the middle of the night, it was cold, and the mother still went back early, and she resigned first. ”

As soon as the words fell, he turned around and left without hesitation.

Qin Se looked at Xu Yu's back as he left, and couldn't help but call out.

"Xu Yu..."

The voice is sad, carrying a sense of grief and pathos.

Xu Yu's body stiffened slightly, his steps paused, he stared ahead for a long time, sighed lightly, and left quickly.

"Mother, people are far away..."

Looking at Qin Se looking at the front stupidly, the red leaves who were supporting him couldn't help but speak.

Qin Se let out an "um" and muttered to himself, "He shouldn't... Come here... It shouldn't be..."

Momiji glanced twice in the direction Xu Yu left, frowned, and thought about what to do.

Looking back at Qin Se, he was shocked, "Niangniang... You're crying. ”

Qin Se subconsciously reached out and stroked both sides of his cheeks, pretending to be calm: "The wind is too cold this night, and the cold makes people worry, and these tears will come down unconsciously."

Momiji answered, not knowing what to say.

After being in place for a long time, Qin Se raised his eyes to look at the dark sky, and said slowly: "It's not early, we... Let's go back. ”

"Yes."

When they returned to the Hechun Palace, their bodies and bones were almost frozen, and they were roasting around the stove, and the charcoal fire inside was extremely vigorous, like the red fire board on the hall tonight, and the charcoal fire burning under it was also crackling.

"Mother, can you get warmer?"

Momiji was not at ease, rubbed his hands, and took another blanket to cover the piano.

Qin Se looked at the red leaves in a trance.

"Momiji..."

"Mother, the slave is here."

Momiji replied worriedly as she tucked the corners of the blanket for Jean.

"Red leaves, send a message to the eldest princess and tell her about the third prince Xu..."

Hongye sighed lightly and asked rhetorically, "Niangniang, if the eldest princess knows about tonight's events, I'm afraid she will blame Niangniang, the eldest princess is Niangniang's only support in this deep palace, Niangniang is about to make a comeback, it's better not to be guilty at this time." ”

Qin Se was slightly stunned, she understood what Momiji said, but...

With red eyes, he bit his lip.

"It doesn't matter... As long as the palace is still useful, as long as he can make a comeback in the Japanese palace, the eldest princess will still support the palace, you must remember when you go, you must explain the determination of the palace to do things for the eldest princess wholeheartedly, and will definitely not take into account the so-called personal affairs of children. ”

"Niangniang..."Hongye called helplessly, and there was worry between her eyebrows, "Niangniang, you are extremely smart, why can't you understand it now?" Xu Sangongzi is the nephew of the eldest princess in the palm of his hand, if he enters the palace on an errand, how can the eldest princess not know? Now that he is still in the palace, it is useless to find the eldest princess! ”

After a pause, his little hand clenched the corner of his clothes tightly, and a trace of coldness flashed in his pupils.

"Niangniang, now what you are worried about should not be Xu Sangongzi, but yourself, the slave and maid don't know whether to say it or not, the slave and maid see that there is a story between the mother and the third son of Xu, but this is the emperor's woman who enters the deep palace, and if you are not careful, it will be a matter of cutting off your head. The eldest princess must also take care of it, and the slave maid will go to explain the attitude of the mother towards Xu Sangongzi, as for the side... It's better to think twice. ”

Qin Se leaned weakly on the chaise longue, thought for a long time, and then nodded.

"As long as there is nothing between the palace and the third prince Xu, the emperor thinks of the eldest princess, as long as the eldest princess and the queen mother are there, the third prince Xu will be fine."

Momiji's heart trembled slightly, and he lowered his eyes, secretly worried. When I looked up again, all my worries were subsided.

"Niangniang is right, Xu Sangongzi has the eldest princess and the queen mother, even in this deep palace where people eat people and don't spit out bones, they can be safe and sound."

Qin Se let out an "um", and the worry on his face dissipated a little. The tightly knit brow also stretched slightly.

Seeing this, Momiji's hanging heart was slightly soothed, and his eyes skimmed to the embroidered shoes that had been baked on the soles of the shoes that Qin Se was wearing.

"Mother's feet are better? The temperature in this room is rising, and this foot is going to hurt. The slave maid remembered that there was still some leftover from the last time the imperial doctor sent the wound medicine, and the slave maid used it to give the mother the medicine. ”

"Well, that's fine."

Qin Se sat up slowly, reached out and carefully took off the pasted embroidered shoes, since he came back, his heart was full of Xu Yu's affairs, but he forgot about the pain, and only then did he think about it, and he couldn't help but gasp.

Subconsciously reached out and touched the peach blossom mark behind his left shoulder, and it seemed to be so heart-wrenching when he cut the brand with a knife.

"Mother, but it hurts?"

Qin Se bit her lip, turned pale and nodded.

Hongye hurriedly ran over, knelt beside the chaise longue, opened a white porcelain vase, and was about to give medicine to Qin Se, when he suddenly heard a knock on the door, followed by the sharp voice of the little eunuch.

"Niangniang, Gonggong Lin of Kunning Palace has something to visit."

Qin Se and Momiji glanced at each other, and Qin Se hurriedly covered her red feet with the hem of her skirt. Momiji hurriedly stuffed the porcelain vase in his arms, and then put the baked embroidered shoes behind the screen, and after cleaning up, he went to open the door.
