The purple morning glow churned in the sky, half-hidden behind the laurel trees in the courtyard, spewing a dazzling light like gold to the earth that was about to awaken. Gradually, the clouds were removed, and the sun appeared like a fireball, pouring fire-like heat on the trees, on the eaves, on the window lattices, and throughout the imperial city.

Zhuang Jieyu's oily green shirt is as light as a cloud, the wide open-sleeved open collar looks very cool, and the silk silk on the belt is inlaid with a few strings of crystal incense beads of ice and jade, falling to the ground, and there will be a few crisp sounds like a warbler's cry when moving.

Qiu Si held a "red cave", and I smiled and said: "A tea in the red cave is rare, please Zhuang Jieyu also taste it." ”

She picked it up and sniffed it gently, "Sure enough, it smells fragrant," and smiled politely at me, "Why doesn't Zhaoyi Niangniang call me sister?" ”

I smiled and sighed, "Didn't Zhuang Jieyu also call me 'Zhaoyi Niangniang'," shaking her head, "I don't know why all the people I call 'sister' didn't make it to the end together, maybe there are still people who don't agree with the word 'sister'!" ”

Zhuang Jieyu tasted the tea and said with a smile: "The tea soup is clear without a trace of turbidity, and I am afraid that such a good tea is only available in Zhaoyi Niangniang in the entire harem." With that, she put it down.

I asked, "Zhuang Jieyu can't trust me, why don't you drink it?" Seeing that she hesitated slightly, I smiled indifferently, "I don't want to, Zhuang Jieyu has been estranged from me overnight," and sighed again, "Maybe it has always been my own affection, Zhuang Jieyu has never put me in her heart." ”

Zhuang Jieyu hurriedly said: "Although it is the general trend for you and me to unite, but my sisterhood with Zhaoyi Niangniang for more than a year is true," she had a somewhat apologetic look on her face, "Niangniang, don't be angry, I don't drink Niangniang's tea because...... Because ......"

When I saw that she was talking, I asked, "Because of what?" ”

Zhuang Jieyu just lowered her head to avoid my gaze, as if she was very unspeakable.

I was in a hurry, "Say!?" ”

She hesitantly squeezed out a few words from between her lips and teeth: "Because I should not drink tea now." ”

I frowned, "Shouldn't you drink tea?" After thinking about it, she said with an "oh" voice: "Zhuang Jieyu is unwell, so she should send the palace people to the imperial hospital to ask the imperial doctor to take a look." As I spoke, I glanced at Qiu Si and instructed, "Zhuang Jieyu is unwell, you go and ask an imperial doctor to show Zhuang Jieyu." ”

Qiu Sifu blessed his body and said, "Yes." Turning around to leave, Zhuang Jieyu grabbed her violently and said, "Don't go!" ”

I sensed something was wrong and asked, "What the hell is going on?!" ”

Zhuang Jieyu turned her face away, her face burned red, "I'...... I might be pregnant. As soon as these words came out, Qiu Si's body shook obviously, and his expression was so nervous that he was about to collapse.

I was also shocked and blurted out, "What?!" Reacted instantly, "This kid belongs to Prince Ning?!" ”

Zhuang Jieyu nodded.

I took a break and asked, "You didn't ask the imperial doctor to check the pulse, how can you be sure?" ”

She frowned and said, "Don't I know my own body?" After a while, he added: "I haven't been in the letter for two months. ”

After being surprised, I immediately felt a wave of anger in my heart, "You guys met secretly in the harem, it's too much!" ”

She got up and knelt in front of me, tugged at my sleeve, and begged: "For half a year, Your Majesty has never touched me, and I can only hide this matter, and I dare not tell anyone, if it spreads, I, the prince and the child in my belly will die," she said, holding my hand and trembling, "Your Majesty's temperament, you know best!" ”

I took a deep breath, "You know it, and you're still doing it!?" ”

Zhuang Jieyu said with tears in her eyes: "I don't know what to do, I go deep, I ...... Even if I knew there was a trap ahead, I jumped. ”

I looked at her and asked, "Does Prince Ning know about this?" ”

Zhuang Jieyu shook her head slowly, "I haven't dared to tell him yet." ”

I was furious and whispered, "This is his child, why don't you dare to say it?" ”

Zhuang Jieyu just lowered her head and cried.

My mind was full of confusion, and I said with anger, "Just last night, he was going to die with you and his children!" I glanced at Zhuang Jieyu, and I really couldn't help but feel angry and saddened by her misfortune, "There are so many good men in the world, how can you like such a person?!" ”

She groaned slightly, and said in a low voice: "There are so many good men in the world, but I am trapped in this lonely deep palace, except for Your Majesty, who is a palace person......"

I exhaled, "You can tell me what you really think, I can help you with your ideas, you don't say anything, you keep hiding yourself, pretending to look down on everything, opening your mouth and closing your mouth is a deception to me," smiled helplessly, "If you believe in me a little, if you give a little sincerity, things will not develop to this extent," snorted lightly, "You let me help you now, how can you let me help you?!" ”

She just looked at me uncertainly, with tears in her eyes, as if there was a shadow of pleading, "Your Majesty loves you so much, you can definitely help me!" ”

I pulled up my sleeve and shook off her hand, "Even if Your Majesty favors me, then should I use Your Majesty's favor for me to help you and Prince Ning steal the beams?" Have you ever considered me? Eyebrows furrowed, "I can't help you with this!" ”

Zhuang Jieyu was completely deflated and only sat in place.

I glanced at her and said, "I just have His Majesty's favor, after all, it's not me who is in charge of the Sixth Palace, so what can I do?" ”

She probed my expression carefully, desperate to find any flaws in my face, "Then you kept telling us to fly away last night?" ”

I was greatly stunned, frowned, and said, "That's a matter between the two of you, I never thought of interfering, and I was just admonishing last night," lowered my eyes and said lightly, "I can promise you that I will only help you keep this secret until this matter is spread, this is the biggest concession I can make." ”

Zhuang Jieyu didn't raise her head, "It's good that after two years of sisterly relationship, I finally got such a result." With that, she looked at me deeply.

I looked back at her, "Don't you understand, it's not that I don't help you, it's that I can't help you at all, I can't help you at all, in this deep palace, I am the same as you, and no one's situation is much better than anyone else," After a while, he added, "You might as well go and beg your mother's family, maybe your father and mother can help you." ”

She shook her head, "No, if I let them know, the child in my womb will definitely die without a place to be buried, I am in the harem as a bargaining chip, as an eyeliner, there are too many clues and benefits that can be brought to them, and they will not let me go easily." ”

I sighed lightly, thought for a moment, and said quietly: "Then, only the queen mother can help you, in charge of the six palace ribbon seals, and only she can send you out of the palace unconsciously," As soon as the words were spoken, I saw that her eyes lit up, and I was busy splashing another basin of cold water, "However, don't hold out any hopes, first, if the queen mother helps you, how to explain what happened after you leave, and second, if Your Majesty is angry, the queen mother will definitely not eat good fruit, not to mention, you are missing with Prince Ning." ”

Zhuang Jieyu was stunned for a moment, and the hope in Fang Cai's eyes had now condensed into a point as bright as a needle, and slowly retreated behind the eyelashes with teardrops, replaced by a silent silence like ashes, and a tear drooped gloomily.

After a while, when Zhuang Jieyu was in a good mood and left, Qiu Sicai said in a tone full of surprise: "Zhuang Jieyu...... Zhuang Jieyu has always been calm and serious, and she doesn't look like a person who can do such things! ”

I glanced at her, "Didn't you hear Zhuang Jieyu just now, she was trapped in the deep palace and lonely, it was rare to see Prince Ning noble and dignified, and it was inevitable that she would have affection and go deep, and all the mistakes she attributed to the word 'love', she was really smart, so what could I blame her?" He pulled the corners of his mouth, smiled lightly, and continued, "Do you blame her for being too affectionate, or do you blame her for being emotional?" Then he shook his head, "It's not right, and it can't be blamed, because these are all due to human nature, and no one can escape, so why blame it." ”

Qiu Si pursed her lips, "Zhuang Jieyu's words just now and that pitiful look are clearly forcing Niang Niang to help her." ”

I laughed, "No matter what she does, it's still me if I want to help her or not," his gaze swept over Qiu Si's face, "I'm not doing anything, why are you so angry like this?" ”

Qiu Si pouted and said: "The slave knows that Zhuang Jieyu begged with such a pitiful look, and Niangniang would definitely be soft-hearted and want to help her, and she would behave like this when she caught Niangniang." ”

I looked at Qiu Si and smiled, "You think about me." ”

Qiu Si said: "The slave maid is dedicated to her mother," and snorted contemptuously, "In the final analysis, it is clear that Zhuang Jieyu is indecent, and now that it is like this, others look at it and think that our mother owes her something!" ”

I sighed and said: "The pure self-purity, since there is no debt, since you should be open-minded, there is nothing to worry about, there are still few gossips related to me, have you ever seen me care?" ”

Qiu Si shook his head and hesitated: "This matter...... Are you going to tell Your Majesty or the Queen? ”

I hurriedly said: "This matter is clear, I didn't want to say it to anyone, you know, but you are not allowed to talk nonsense outside, just now I promised to help her keep a secret and can't break her word, if you don't get it, it's three lives, she has a sentence that is right, if Your Majesty's temperament is known, it will definitely not leave a living mouth, and the queen mother has never hidden anything from Your Majesty, the same can not be said." ”

Qiu Si frowned and said, "In that case, isn't Zhuang Jieyu ......?"

I nodded, "There is no way out." ”

Qiu Si asked: "Then the talented lady asked Zhuang Jieyu to find the queen's mother......"

I shook my head and said, "I just said it casually, thinking that it would be good to give her a glimmer of hope, otherwise I don't know what to do!" ”

Qiu Si sighed, "This thing ......"

I turned my face sideways, glanced at Qiu Si, chuckled, and said helplessly: "If there is a little way, how can I not help her?" I pursed my lips again, my eyes wandering over the dark flowers and splendid tablecloth, "It's a good sister, I won't be indifferent to her death." ”
