Rao is body and bones, after all, he has been exposed to the sun for a day, and now it has rained all night, and when he was about to be unable to hold on, Ning Zhiyun heard Aunt Feng's voice: "Send the second young lady back to Chasing Yuexuan." ”

Ning Zhixuan thought that she would be chasing Yuexuan when she woke up again, but she didn't expect that she would be in a strange palace when she woke up again.

"Second Miss, you're finally awake." Mo Jue had already helped Ning Zhixuan to sit up as he spoke, "This is the palace where our prince lived when he was not named a prince in the past, the Qingqi Palace. ”

"Green Tilt Palace?" Ning Zhiyun repeated these three words, and vaguely remembered in her mind that there was exactly a "green" character in the queen's maiden name. The first green character should be taken from the green character in the name of the queen's boudoir, and the second word should be taken from the meaning of his heart.

Don't say it's a rumor, just the intention of the word "Qingtian" is enough to envy the women in the world, and it is no wonder that the imperial concubine hated the queen who was just the daughter of a salt merchant to her heart, and even did not hesitate to use the power of the family to secretly force the queen to leave the palace to practice.

The palace people in the imperial hospital finished moving the potted flowers but were still reluctant to leave, Su Xin knew that it was now the fourth watch, so they simply waited here until dawn, and waited until the steward came to see them so diligently, maybe they would give some rewards.

Su Xin has always rarely drunk alcohol, afraid of getting drunk and making mistakes, so he just takes a sip and doesn't dare to drink more. Shangguan Qingqiao seemed to have an excellent amount of wine, and he drank several glasses in a row, but he was not drunk at all.

"I wonder how much she drinks?" Shangguan Qingqiao never wanted to show any emotions in front of people, but he was only willing to say more in front of Su Xin.

"The amount of alcohol that the young lady drinks is far better than that of the slaves, but it is not as large as the amount of His Highness." Su Xin lowered her head to answer Shangguan Qingqiao's question, but her heart seemed to be suddenly pierced by a needle, and there was a sharp and brief pain

The silence in the room returned to Fang Cai, as if he could hear each other's breathing and heartbeat, and in such a quiet environment, Su Xin clearly heard the discussion of the palace people outside.

Yougong deliberately lowered his voice and said: "Have you heard of it, the second lady of the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion sent the red sleeves to a dead end today." ”

Another palace person said: "Last time at Concubine Li's birthday banquet, the second miss was framed by the eldest lady and made a fool of herself at the palace banquet. ”

Then another palace person took over and said: "We are on an errand in the palace, have we seen that there are few means to compete for favor between concubines?" In my opinion, the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion is not a clean place. ”

"It's almost dawn, we should pack up and wait for the steward to come." As she spoke, the ladies got up and straightened their clothes, and then walked together in the direction of the arch.

"The Queen Mother disposed of the red sleeves beside Concubine Li?" Su Xin was also shocked when she heard the news, Concubine Li has always disliked Ning Zhixuan, and even the palace maids around her have repeatedly disrespected Ning Zhixuan, but even if the red sleeves bully others, they will not die after all.

"The winner is king, and the loser is left with only the end of the road." Shangguan Qingqiao saw Su Xin's face suddenly turn pale, and he was very curious in his heart about what she thought of Ning Zhixuan?

"Miss's hands have never been stained with the blood of an innocent!"

Su Xin's sudden increase in volume made Shangguan Qingyu slightly stunned, and his gaze at Su Xin seemed to be a little more scrutinizing.

Su Xin also seemed to be aware of her gaffe, and sighed slightly in her heart, and finally returned to her usual deferential appearance.

"His Royal Highness Prince Heng, it's time for you to leave, it will be inconvenient for you to go out when the sky is bright in a while." Su Xin cautiously reminded Shangguan Qingyu that if all the people in the imperial hospital were on duty for a while, he was afraid that it would be inconvenient for him to go out.

Shangguan Qingyu was about to leave with a slight bow, but as if he thought of something, he paused and said: "The matter of that day was also involved in this king, and those people and this king have already sent people to kill all of them." ”

Su Xin was a little confused when she heard it at first glance, and after thinking about it carefully, she knew that "the matter of that day" should refer to the matter of King Anjun recruiting singers, and the "all extermination" should be Shangguan Qingqiao who killed all those people.

However, after half a moment, he heard that people were dying one after another, Su Xin was so frightened that his feet were unstable, and he staggered back again and again, but fortunately finally sat on the pear wood round bench.

Shangguan Qingqiao glanced back at Su Xin's cheeks, which were already bloodless at all, and he knew that the look of fear and fear at that time seemed to be like an innocent person seeing a bloodthirsty devil.

Su Xin fell to the ground along the pear wood round stool, she raised her head and looked at the direction where Shangguan Qingqiao left, she looked at it for a long time, and she didn't know how long it took to come to her senses, but she said in a voice that only she could hear: "It's not that I'm afraid of you, but I'm afraid, I'm afraid that you are really such a bloodthirsty person in the eyes of Miss, but I always feel that you are not that kind of person." ”

What girl in the world wants the person she falls in love with to be a bloodthirsty demon stained with the blood of innocent people.

Ning Zhixuan in the Qingtian Palace woke up in the dawn of the day, she actually slept for so long, she thought that she would toss and turn because of the killing on her hands, but it turned out that she was really such a ruthless person, and in order to take revenge, she had become the same as those executioners.

Ning Zhixuan sat up, then spread a pair of slender jade hands in front of her eyes, looking at it but tears fell.

"You woke up, just now I asked Mo Jue to put some soothing powder in your medicine, so you can sleep for a few hours." Shangguan Hanyue walked in from outside the hall, and I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional to remind Ning Zhiyun that she was not a ruthless person, but she had slept soundly for so many hours by relying on medicine.

"I want to take my hands." Ning Zhixuan didn't raise her head, but lowered her head and said softly.

"Okay." Shangguan Hanyue instructed the palace people to fetch a basin of water with a copper basin, and then personally took it and put it on the table.

Ning Zhiyun got up from the couch, walked to the copper basin and submerged her hands in the basin, and then kept scrubbing her hands until the slender white and tender soft wattles were rubbed out of red marks, but she still refused to stop.

Finally, Shangguan Hanyue had to step forward and gently take her into her arms from behind: "I know you're sad, but you can't toss yourself like this." ”

Maybe it was the rain that rained all night, and people's hearts became soft under the predicament and illness, she did not push away Shangguan Hanyue as before, but leaned on his arms.

"Everyone has wounds in their hearts that can't be touched, but no matter how painful and bloody the wounds are, they have already survived after all." Shangguan Hanyue gently pulled Ning Zhixuan's shoulder, looked into her eyes and said, "It's not that I'm not hurting for the past, it's not that I betrayed the people and things of the past, but so that the people who stayed in the past forever can see that you are carrying their hopes to the other side, instead of falling into disarray." ”

"Zhiyun." These two words are the softest existence in Shangguan Hanyue's heart, and he also remembers that this is the third time he has called her by her name, "If your mother knows about it, she naturally doesn't want to see you torment yourself like this for the pain of the past." ”

"Mother...... Mother ...... "Ning Zhixuan heard Shangguan Hanyue mention Ye Lanshuang, and her gentle and gentle smile appeared in her mind, her mother was such a gentle and gentle person, even in adversity, she never thought of harming anyone.

"Mother doesn't want to see me become the way I am?" Ning Zhixuan said and sat on the ground with her cheeks covered and along the wall.

Looking at Ning Zhixuan huddled in the corner with her knees hugged, Shangguan Hanyue hated to bear all the pain for her, but some roads still needed to be walked by herself, and some hardships had to be tasted by herself before she could really let herself go.

"Zhixuan, although I have never met your mother, I know that as a mother, I will never be disappointed in my children, and some will only be regretful." Shangguan Hanyue said and squatted down beside Ning Zhixuan, "I'm afraid that if your mother sees you like this, in addition to regret, it should be more heartbroken!" ”

The words were like a needle piercing Ning Zhiyun's heart, ruthless and accurate, making her unfocused eyes looking at the void gradually have a little light.

Shangguan Hanyue sat down next to Ning Zhiyun's side like this.

After a long time, Ning Zhixuan's eyes were a little sour when she looked at the void, and she said with a somewhat flickering tone: "I hate people like Red Sleeves who trample on others at will in order to please their masters, but I have also become the same person as 'them' because of the hatred in my heart." ”

Shangguan Hanyue knew that Ning Zhixuan's "they" referred to the Bai family, the imperial concubine, who regarded other people's lives like a mustard for their own purposes.

"I used to think that I had my mother's blood in my body, and as long as I was always vigilant, I would never be consumed by hatred." Ning Zhixuan said with despair in her eyes: "Now that a life has been lost because of a word, what is the difference between me and those who kill people like hemp?" ”

At that time, Red Sleeves laughed at her mother so much, and used the destruction of the Ye family as a bargaining chip to attack her, and she would be so ruthless when she was angry.

"Everyone has a bottom line, and if someone touches the bottom line, it will inevitably mess up the mind." Shangguan Hanyue looked at Ning Zhiyun with understanding and pity in her eyes, "Zhiyun, I know that the Ye family is full of pain in your heart, but you should know that in this Purple Rhyme City, where thousands of honors and pets are piled up, no one can beat the cold heart of the Son of Heaven." ”

Ning Zhixuan's heart tightened, Shangguan Hanyue actually said this with her, she was a little unsure if Shangguan Hanyue would also know the truth back then, knowing that her grandfather was framed by someone. That incident was very implicated back then, Emperor Qi would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go, if it weren't for the fact that her grandfather was really innocent, how could Emperor Qi let her go, a descendant of the Ye family, for the queen's intercession.
