The noon sun shines through the window lattice, and the light and shadow are dappled as if she has seen Sister A and Brother Sheng. It seems that she is still the second lady of the Protector's Mansion back then, and she is the little girl who sits in the arms of her sister or her father and listens to the play with her legs dangling her legs and knocking melon seeds. Tears silently rolled down her cheeks, what was wrong? Why is it the way it is now?

Since then, Yunwan hasn't seen her in private for half a month, and Li Yizhe occasionally comes to just stay for a meal and doesn't talk much. Seeing that it is already summer, a bunch of trivial matters have been dealt with, although there is often news from the front, it is mixed, but it is still good. Although Luo Hansheng was injured, the batch of medicinal materials arrived in time, and there was no major problem. Because of that batch of medicinal materials, which saved the lives of most of the soldiers, even the ministers of the court praised her for being thoughtful and kind.

The busiest days have passed, and Ruoyan finally has time to go to the imperial tomb to see her sister.

The weather on this day was a little cloudy, and Ruoyan took the snow warbler with her. Ling Yin stayed in the palace to take charge. These days have passed, Xue Ying and Ling Yin have also developed a tacit understanding, Xue Ying has a good memory and is familiar with things in the palace, so she often accompanies Ruoyan to visit or go out with concubines. Ling Yin was originally a housekeeper girl raised by the Prime Minister's Mansion, and she was even better at the affairs of the back house, taking care of the trivial matters up and down the palace in an orderly manner.

Xueying arranged a sedan chair to accompany Ruoyan, and as soon as she came out of the palace gate, Gonggong Lin chased after her. Xue Ying lifted the curtain and asked, "What is the matter with my father-in-law coming at this time?" ”

"Niangniang went out of the palace to the imperial mausoleum today, Your Majesty didn't go, but thinking that Concubine Shen has been in the imperial mausoleum for a long time, I am afraid that the concubine will embarrass the mother, this sedan chair has been arranged, and I will come immediately. Your Majesty is to let the old slave come to the Niangniang Ward. Let the mother wait a moment, and His Majesty will come over immediately. "Grandpa Lin ran out of breath.

"Xueying, pour a glass of water for your father-in-law. My father-in-law must have been tired all the way over. Ruoyan commanded.

Gonggong Lin laughed: "The old slave thanked Niangniang." ”

"Where, my father-in-law is old, and my father-in-law Lao has made such a trip, and this palace can't help it." Ruoyan took two pieces of begonia cake from the pastry plate on the small table in the carriage, wrapped them in a handkerchief, and handed them to Xueying, so that Xueying could bring them to Gonggong Lin.

Father-in-law Lin took the pastry and smiled even more.

If you are such a considerate girl, who doesn't like it? It's because of the bad temper that is because he has suffered too much over the years, and the more he looks at it, the more he likes it. Among so many concubines in the harem, it is rare to have such a good temperament as Ruoyan. Meng Jieyu is a steady and proper person, but she has always looked down on eunuchs because of her noble status, although she is also gentle and gentle, she is always a little not so easy to get along with and difficult to get close to. Although rewarding people is a great reward, what is he doing with so much silver when he is already this age and has no heirs? As long as it is enough to provide for the rest of his life, it is enough to leave a little for a few distant nephews.

If you are generous, it is generous, but what is even more comforting is to think that you should be thirsty and give you a glass of water, and when you are hungry, you will stuff some pastries for you. The mind here is the most useful.

The three of them waited at the gate of the palace for a while, and Li Yizhe's carriage arrived. Ruoyan didn't say anything, so he asked Xueying to order him to continue walking.

Who knows that Li Yizhe suddenly opened his mouth and called the coachman: "Slow down." ”

Ruoyan lifted the curtain and glanced at him: "Is there something wrong with Your Majesty?" I've been delayed for a while, so why don't you leave. ”

Li Yizhe ignored her, and just ordered Xueying: "Xueying, help your master over." Grandpa Lin is old, you take a car. I have something to say to the concubine. ”

There was some sweat on the forehead of the snow warbler, but Li Yizhe was the emperor, she couldn't disobey Li Yizhe's meaning, so she could only say yes, and helped Ruoyan to get into Li Yizhe's carriage.

After Ruoyan got into the car, Li Yizhe ordered the attendants to continue on their way. Ruoyan glared at Li Yizhe: "Your Majesty, which one is this singing?" I had to come and take this car with my concubines. ”

"My woman is naturally relieved when I watch it myself." The air was a little stuffy, and Li Yizhe pulled his collar a little apart.

Ruoyan turned his head away from looking at him.

"It's all round people, where haven't you seen on me? What are you shy about? Li Yizhe laughed at her.

"Your Majesty is used to having no face and no skin, but the concubine is thin-skinned. What could the concubines who were blind in the dark light see that day, and what did Your Majesty have to show the concubines? Don't tarnish people's innocence out of thin air. Ruoyan ridiculed him.

"Innocence? Your virgin body is all mine, what innocence is there between you and me? But Ah Yan," Li Yizhe smiled meaningfully, "You just said that you didn't see anything clearly that night, did you?" Why don't you see enough tonight? ”

"Your Majesty, do you think that after worshipping Sister A's concubines, are you still in the mood to sleep with Your Majesty?" Ruoyan sneered.

"The front line has been a little short of food and grass for the past two days. The household department told me that some of the grain stored in the treasury should be allocated to other cities. Is it inconvenient to reduce the grain and grass on the front line? Li Yizhe smiled like a fox. He always knew that for Ruoyan, Luo Hansheng was his biggest weakness.

"Your Majesty, don't deceive people too much." Ruoyan was angry.

"Yun Yu's injury has been much better these days. Do you think I'm going to ask the people in the worship room to cleanse him and send him into the palace? Li Yizhe's fingertips tapped lightly on the small table without hurry, he was not in a hurry, he had a way to make Ruoyan obedient.

"Don't!" Ruoyan was in a hurry, biting her lip and tears were about to fall, "Is it interesting for you to bully me like this?" ”

Li Yizhe pulled her into his arms, leaned into her ear and whispered, "Ah Yan, don't you understand?" All I wanted from start to finish was you. As long as you are obedient, I promise you that they will be fine. ”

Ruoyan was drained of her strength all of a sudden, and she collapsed in Li Yizhe's arms, she sobbed and said, "But I don't love you." ”

"I love you enough. The days are still long, I can wait. Li Yizhe wiped away her tears, "Don't cry, as long as you don't always get angry with me, I can give you whatever you want." ”

"Can you give me anything?" Ruoyan glanced up at him.

"Except to leave me." Li Yizhe added.

Ruoyan lowered her head and smiled coldly: "But I just want to leave you." ”

"As long as you don't leave me, this life can be given to you." Li Yizhe gently kissed Ruoyan's heart, "Ah Yan, you are mine, you can only be mine." ”

Ruoyan was silent. She didn't know how to respond to Li Yizhe. It's just that the hard heart seems to crack a little bit.

Borderland.

After Luo Hansheng arranged the formation and sent troops, he had just had a life-and-death battle with Chu Changxi, and won a small victory and rested. A carrier pigeon stopped in front of his tent.

A small bamboo tube was tied to the pigeon's leg, and the note was written about Ruoyan and Li Yizhe in the past few days. Luo Hansheng clenched his fists tightly after seeing it. He began to panic, he was afraid that if he couldn't wait for him to win and go back, Ruoyan would fall in love with Li Yizhe.

Jiu Niangzi rarely came to the barracks quietly, sat on his cushion with a big grin, stretched her legs to the side, raised Erlang's legs, and supported one hand on the blanket, holding a variety of charms. She looked at Luo Hansheng with a smile: "What? Xiangye is in a hurry? ”

"What do you have to say?" Luo Hansheng glanced at her.

Jiu Niangzi raised her eyebrows: "This march and war are the most taboo word." The more anxious you are, the more likely it is to go wrong. ”

"What interesting news did you bring with you this time?" Luo Hansheng diverted the topic.

"If it's not very important and interesting news, can I go for it myself? The smell of the barracks was not good, dirty and smelly. Jiu Niangzi's face was still a little childish, but it was shrewd and alert, "Don't you want to know who was the person who prevented you from going to the execution ground to save Ruoyan's father and mother back then?" They're not just a bunch of drunken riffraff. ”

Luo Hansheng frowned, faintly feeling that something was wrong.

"I was drunk but only broke your leg, although I covered it up a little, but my leg injury has been taken care of in the past few years, and I have always vaguely felt that something was wrong. Only now have some clues been found. ”

"Most of the people who beat you back then have been put to death. But there is one that slips through the net. He was the younger brother of one of those men. After changing his name and surname and hiding for so many years, it is estimated that he feels that he has been long enough. No one is paying attention. A few days ago, I bought a house and a field to live in peace. Handwriting, tsk, really generous. ”

"So who's behind the scenes?" Luo Hansheng asked.

"I'm afraid you won't believe it." Jiu Niangzi took a glass of wine from his table and poured it down, "Tsk, it's strong enough." ”

"Who is it?" Luo Hansheng's voice was a little gloomy.

"Yat Shaw." Jiu Niangzi spit out a name that Luo Hansheng couldn't accept at all.

"How could it be him? Xiao Yat is an upright person, and he has a sincere heart that is rare in the world. He has also been very righteous to me all these years. The two of us are even more close friends. How can it be? Luo Hansheng was taken aback.

"Sincerity? He was indeed sincere, but he was the emperor's man. He obeyed the emperor's orders. To tell you the truth, if Ruoyan hadn't been sent out desperately by her nurse back then, Li Yizhe would not have executed her. Li Yizhe had already prepared a hand, ready to change Ruoyan out of the sky. Find a close minister's house to raise, and when you are old, you will be taken into the palace. But the nurse disrupted his plans. You asked for a decree, and he gave it to you not for anything else, but so that one day you could relieve some of your guilt in front of Ruoyan. But when you asked for a decree like that, he thought you had hidden Ruoyan. In order to make Ruoyan resentful of you, he found Xiao Yi and asked Xiao Yi to find some people to stop you near the execution ground. Jiu Niangzi squinted her eyes and smiled, "Xiao Yi did the same." Because in his eyes, friendship with you is just a way for him to prove his loyalty. ”

Luo Hansheng's hands were shaking.

"Including your father's illness and death." Nine Lady threw another bomb.

Luo Hansheng's heart began to throb, and his father's illness ...... Won't it be too? He couldn't think any more.

"When the epidemic broke out, your father helped to settle the patient, and Li Yizhe arranged for an inconspicuous little doctor to change the patient's used face towel for your father. That's when your dad contracted the epidemic. Later, the little imperial doctor did not live long. But since he did it, there is always evidence to be found. Jiu Niangzi handed him a glass of wine, "Are you uncomfortable?" Have a drink. ”
