At that time, it was already late summer, and the stuffiness in the air had become shallow and bleak, only the cicadas were still dying and struggling one after another, and the sun shone on the ground through the leaves of the acacia tree. ”

The doorman was quite respectful when he saw that he was dressed extraordinarily, and said, "Yes." ”

Gu Yanzhao said: "Please pass it on, Gu Yanzhao has something to see the prince." ”

The doorman nodded and went in to pass the word, and after a while, he saw Prince He Hongtian walking out, and when he saw him, Hongtian was slightly startled, and said, "Gu Gongzi is really a rare guest." ”

Gu Yanzhao also exchanged a few words with him, and then entered the inner mansion with him.

After passing through the hanging flower gate, he passed through the verandah and entered a flower hall, Hongtian led Gu Yanzhao to sit down, and said to the maid next to him: "Go and make tea." ”

He also said to Gu Yanzhao: "I don't know what happened to Gu Gongzi when he came to the house today?" ”

Gu Yanzhao hesitated for a moment, Hongtian saw his hesitation and ordered his subordinates to come out of the house, Gu Yanzhao stood up and arched his hand and said: "There is something to ask the prince below, and please ask the prince to agree." ”

Hongyang smiled and said, "Gu Gongzi doesn't have to be so polite, if it is within the power of this king, he is naturally willing to serve, but if it is ......"

Gu Yanzhao said: "I don't know what will happen in the future, and I don't know if the prince has a way to help, I just want to have peace of mind." ”

Hongtian looked at him suspiciously, Gu Yanzhao said: "Presumably the prince also knows, the emperor sent me to Miaojiang to quell the chaos, and I don't know when I will be able to quell the rebellion and return to the dynasty victoriously, or if I still have the life to return to the dynasty." I'm here not for anything else, but for one person...... Suyi. ”

Hongday's eyes jumped, but his face pretended to be calm, and he smiled dryly, "Isn't Su Yi the person next to the imperial brother?" Why did Gu Gongzi come to me? ”

Gu Yanzhao hooked his lips and raised a wry smile: "Su Yi is just a palace maid, her father passed away, she has no relatives in the world, I hope the prince can help her in the past friendship of Fujin on her side." ”

Hongtian pursed his lips, he couldn't smile anymore, Gu Yanzhao said again, "Su Yi is alone in the palace, unaccompanied and too kind and weak, what is the situation in this palace, I think the prince knows much more than me, I only hope that the prince can help her when she is in danger, so that I can leave with peace of mind." ”

Hongtian looked at him quietly, only to see that his eyes were full of earnestness and expectation, and after a long time, Hongtian sighed, "I promise you, but it is inconvenient for me to meddle in this inner palace matter, so I can only do my best." ”

Gu Yanzhao bowed his hand and saluted: "In this way, then thank you to the prince." ”

The days in summer are always infinitely long, and it takes a long time for the moon to slowly rise from the east, the blue night is dotted with stars that shine like broken diamonds, the breeze blows, the large lotus leaves in the pond stretch like a cover, and the pink lotus flowers are in full bloom, curling and tingting, lovely and moving.

Su Yi sat quietly in front of the window, there was an orchid on the plum blossom table, it was blooming faintly, the orchid was fragrant, she only stared at the orchid but did not move for a long time.

Seeing her like this, Qiu Ruo couldn't help but ask, "Suyi, what's wrong with you?" ”

Su Yi's gaze turned to Qiu Ruo's face, she got up and took Qiu Ruo's hand and sat on the edge of the bed, and whispered, "Qiu Ruo, only you can help me." ”

Qiu Ruo heard her say this, and her heart was tense for no reason, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Su Yi hung her head, and said softly: "He is going to Miaojiang......"

Qiu Ruo didn't think that she actually knew about this, and she was shocked, only to hear Su Yi say again: "I know that I have no chance with him in this life...... But I am still uneasy in my heart, he is going to Miaojiang, and it is difficult for me to see him even if I want to. ”

Her voice was so miserable, and her appearance was so pitiful, Qiu Ruo couldn't help but feel a little distressed, and called: "Su Yi ......"

Su Yi raised her eyes and smiled quietly at her, but it was moving, with a decisive poignancy, and said: "But when he goes, I don't know if we can see each other in this life?" I don't expect anything else, I just hope that he can return safely, and I have written a letter, hoping that you will help me get out of the palace and hand it over to him. ”

Qiu Ruo saw that Su Yi took out a small bamboo tube and handed it over, thought for a while, and said, "I promise you that I will let him see this letter before he sets out on the expedition." ”

Su Yi raised her lips shallowly and evoked a shallow smile: "Thank you." ”

The smile fell on Qiu Ruo's eyes, but it had a different taste, and when Qiu Ruo came out of Su Yi's house, he went straight to the imperial dining room. Because the masters in the palaces rested late in the summer night, Qin Han was still busy taking care of the supper of the masters of the palaces, and when everything was arranged, he found the people standing behind him quietly staring at him. couldn't help but show a faint smile on his face, "It's already so late, why are you here?" ”

Qiu Ruo only smiled, his eyes stopped on his resolute face and couldn't help but be stunned, and then he untied the silk handkerchief on the buckle and reached out to wipe the sweat on his forehead, Qin Han saw her looking at herself with a pair of clear eyes, there was affection in those eyes, her movements were so gentle, her eyes were so bright, there was a soft smile on Zhu's lips, that gentle and lovely appearance only made him think of a person for no reason, his eyes could no longer be turned away, but the person in front of him blushed under his gaze, Realizing that he had hastily passed the pass, he took the veil and said, "I will come by myself." ”

Qiu Ruo just hooked his lips, casually looked around the imperial dining room, and saw that the blisters were busy, and said, "The masters of the palaces always sleep very late in this summer, it's really hard for you." Also prepare tea and snacks from time to time. ”

Qin Han handed her back the handkerchief and said, "I've been in the palace for so long, I'm used to it." ”

And he said, "Would you like some snacks?" ”

Qiu Ruo shook his head and said, "Brother Qin, I came to you at this time because I wanted to ask you for help. ”
