A few days after Du Ruo got married, he began to secretly run to Jingtai Palace to play. Seeing that Cui Yun, who had been raised for a few days, returned to normal, Du Ruo also put his mind at ease.

"You girl, you're married, and you always want to run to the palace, aren't you afraid of your husband complaining?" I peeled a walnut kernel and handed it to Du Ruo, "Taste it, the walnuts that have just been paid tribute this year are quite fragrant." ”

"Thank you, mother." Du Ruo fruited walnuts, threw them into his mouth and chewed them, and smiled happily: "It's really fragrant." ”

"This is sent by His Majesty the Emperor himself, can it not be fragrant." Yu Mo explained on the side: "His Majesty the Emperor has sent a lot of things to this Jingtai Palace in the past few days, and the cabinet is almost full." ”

"Really?!" Du Ruo looked at me in disbelief, and when he saw me nodding, he exclaimed: "I didn't expect my father-in-law's words to work quite well." ”

"Who! Uncle Huang? ”

Du Ruo found that he had missed his mouth, and couldn't help but explain with a smile: "That upholds won't let me say it, but I think for Niangniang, there is no difference between knowing and not knowing." ”

"No wonder Your Majesty's attitude has changed so quickly, it turns out that it is because of the imperial uncle. It seems that the palace still has to thank the imperial uncle and uphold it. ”

"It's okay to thank my father-in-law alone, but thanks to Sun Zheng, there's no need for this."

"How could it be, if it weren't for Sun Zheng's non-you not to marry, how could this palace get Uncle Wang's help?"

"Niangniang, you even like to go around the bend now." Du Ruo asked with a smile: "It seems that the harem has been very peaceful recently." ”

"It's also a little noisy, but Pei Lin and Qi Yue still have some means, so on the big side, it's okay." I turned my head, like Du Ruo's sister, concerned about Du Ruo's situation after marriage.

"Sun Zheng didn't bully or snub you, right?"

Du Ruo shook his head and responded with a smile: "How is it possible, it is very good for Du Ruo, but recently, I have often mixed with the guards and practiced guns together." ”

"Guards? Which guard. ”

"The guards of the British Palace, the two of them practice swords together every day, and the most exaggerated one is to practice until the moon is white."

"Guards?" I pondered it carefully, and couldn't help but laugh at Du Ruo, who actually played riddles with me again. "It's Ye Liuyun, right?"

Du Ruo sighed and said with a smile: "Alas, there is really no sense of accomplishment in selling a pass with a smart person like Miss." ”

"It's okay if he's here, and I can escort you back to Da Zhou on the road when the time comes."

Du Ruo shook his head and said slyly, "Miss, don't you know Ye Guard's intentions?" As long as you're there, he'll probably never leave. ”

I glanced at Du Ruo and coughed softly.

Du Ruo blinked his eyes and said with a smile: "It's okay, Niangniang, Yutang is guarding the door." ”

"You're still so smart." I picked up the cup on the table and took a sip of water. "However, even if Ye Liuyun stays, it is very likely that he will be arranged by Hongmen, otherwise, it is impossible for him to leave Hongmen's line of sight so far alone."

Hearing me say this, Du Ruo smiled and said to me seriously: "Niangniang, Guardian Ye wants to see you." ”

My hand paused for a moment, but soon I put the cup back on the table.

"If there is anything to see, go back and tell him, it is inconvenient for this palace to see him, today and in the future."

"Miss, are you really so ruthless?" Du Ruo begged Ye Liuyun for help: "Could it be that the last side is also ......?"

"Du Ruo, I can't go back to this palace." I stroked my stomach, looked up at Du Ruo, and said with a smile: "And he can go back." ”

At dusk, I sat alone in the garden of Jingtai Palace, wrapped in a thick cloak, looking at the burning clouds in the western sky, watching them slowly turn red and then slowly dissipate. It was as if the burning charcoal had turned to ash in a very red place.

"Mother, the wind is blowing." Cui Yun was concerned on the side: "It's cold outside, and I invite my mother to go back to the house to rest." ”

"Cuiyun, how beautiful you look at the sunset." I looked at the clouds in the sky with great nostalgia, and my heart calmed down. "Do you know why she's so beautiful?"

Cuiyun was stunned by my sudden question, "Niangniang, the slave doesn't know." ”

"Because she took away the brilliance of the whole day, and at the end, left a beautiful bloom." I admired the beauty of the sunset very pretentiously, but the scene on the road suddenly came to my mind. It's vivid, but it's like a dream.

"Cuiyun, are you homesick?"

"Niangniang, Cuiyun has no home, where Niangniang is, Cuiyun's home is also there."

Cui Yun replied crisply, without the slightest sad sigh, but I felt even more sad when I heard it.

"Isn't Red Sleeves your home? If Du Ruo goes back this time, you can also go back with you, whether it is to go back to Hongsleeve Village or to get married, in short, you don't have to die of old age in this palace. ”

"Niangniang, Cuiyun's life was saved by you, and besides, someone in the Red Sleeve Village must be planted in the crescent, so it is inconvenient for the slave to leave the crescent moon for the time being."

My heart was excited, and I said: "I was negligent, I didn't expect that I would also become the target of Red Sleeve Village's surveillance." ”

"Cuiyun, can you tell this palace, who is the enemy of your Red Sleeve Village?"

Cui Yun hesitated for a moment, but finally relented: "Yang Xiong." ”

"Yang Xiong?" Hearing Cui Yun talk about Yang Xiong, I couldn't help but be a little puzzled, "Since that's the case, then you should go back to Da Zhou, Yang Xiong's forces are all in Da Zhou, what role can you play in staying in the New Moon." Is it ......?"

I suddenly remembered the national teacher Su Kun and my father coming, and a guess suddenly popped up in my heart, but I immediately denied this speculation. "No, although my father hates Yang Xiong, he shouldn't joke about national affairs." Thinking like this in my heart, I got up and took Cuiyun's hand, and said emotionally: "Cuiyun, if you really think that this palace is your savior, then please tell the truth to this palace, where is my father now?" ”

Hearing me ask, Cui Yun couldn't help but be taken aback, "Niangniang, the slave really doesn't know, because the slave maid's task is only to protect the mother, and the rest has not been instructed by the owner." ”

"Just protection?"

Cui Yun nodded seriously, and I saw that she didn't seem to be lying, so I believed her words for the time being. But I still maintained a skeptical attitude in my heart, after all, I had been deceived by the two little maids Cuiyun and Yutang once, so it was hard to underestimate whether she was hiding it from me again.

"Niangniang, let's go back to the house and rest, now your body is the most important."

Saying that, Cui Yun stretched out her hand to support me, I raised my hand and put it up, and it happened that Yu Mo also rushed over with a hand stove, and when she saw me, she bowed and saluted, and sent the hand stove to me, and then supported me on the other side.

I glanced back at the sky above the palace wall, and at this moment the stars appeared and shimmered faintly.
