Chapter 266: Farewell

Updated: >

On this side, Xiao Ruo left the dormitory of Lan Xiao Palace, and went all the way to the long-abandoned back garden somewhere behind the palace.

After walking through the carved gold, everywhere showing the luxurious pavilions, the further back, the longer the defeat of the back garden will be in front of you. Although the place has been left untended all year round, the grass has grown to the knees. It's just that the delicate little bridge and flowing water in the past can still be faintly visible.

The deeper I went, I saw two face-to-face mothers-in-law standing at the door and looking around, looking quite nervous. It is said that the corpses of many lowly palace maids and eunuchs were buried in this back garden, and because of the remote location, no one wanted to come here in the past. So these two mothers-in-law must have been arranged by Concubine Shu.

Sure enough, Xiao Ruo didn't recognize them, but they recognized Xiao Ruo. It's just that it's still far away, and it's not real to see, but as soon as the two mothers-in-law saw Xiao Ruo's figure, they beckoned, and then one of them trotted up to meet them.

"The medical aunt serves by the side of the imperial concubine on weekdays, and she must not recognize the slave." Seeing that Xiao Ruo didn't speak, and her face was quite hesitant, the mother-in-law immediately smiled and reported to herself: "The slave maid is serving in the palace of the lady concubine, and it is natural that the medical aunt does not recognize it." The slave maid was instructed by Concubine Shu to wait for her aunt here, and took her to meet Miss Le'er and her mother. ”

Xiao Ruo nodded, a slight smile appeared on his face, and the caution in his eyes gradually relaxed: "Then there will be work." "It's not that she thinks too much, but in this palace, she can't afford not to think too much.

"Where, auntie, let's go with the slave maid" The mother-in-law lowered her body and asked with a smile, and saw Xiao Ruo walking forward, so she crossed her by half a step and led the way.

"When I first came to Lanxiao Palace, thanks to the care of Le'er and her mother, I was able to leave my life and serve by the side of the imperial concubine." Xiao Ruo said such a sentence intentionally or unintentionally, and suddenly the topic changed and said: "I don't know if Concubine Shu will explain your next thing."

"My aunt lifted it. The slave maid is just the mother-in-law who cleans outside the palace of the lady concubine, and the mother only tells the slaves and maids to take Le'er and her mother out to meet the aunt, and they don't know anything else. At this time, he had already approached the door, and the mother-in-law who was originally standing here saw that Xiao Ruo was approaching another mother-in-law, so she hurriedly stepped forward a few steps forward, took Xiao Ruo's words and replied with a smile.

Xiao Ruo secretly looked at the expressions of the two of them, there was nothing special, obviously the same as they said, Concubine Shu only ordered the two of them to "pick up people", and then "wait for people" here.

Xiao Ruo is not afraid of what these two people want to do, after all, she still has the drug of visiting the cold palace last night, and the two mothers-in-law who don't know martial arts are not enough for her to put in her eyes. It's just that she hasn't been able to figure out how Concubine Shu is going to send Le'er's mother and daughter out of the palace and how she is going to explain in front of Lan Shikang

The two mothers-in-law led Xiao Ruo through the Moon Gate, and walked all the way north, and saw a carriage in a place where the barren grass was more abundant. The blue coarse cloth curtain covered the front and back, and an old horse was munching on its lunch happily with its head down. Inconspicuous, like the carriage of the eunuchs who were responsible for the purchase in the palace when they left the palace.

Seeing the place, one of the mothers-in-law stepped forward and opened the curtain of the carriage, and said a few words inside, Xiao Ruo saw that Le Erniang got out of the carriage first, looking a little nervous, worried, and more excited. Then, Le'er, who had a complicated face, also got out of the carriage.

After the two landed, Le'er stood still with her head down, but Le'er Niang walked quickly to Xiao Ruo, knelt down on her knees, her eyes were tearful, and she kowtowed quite solemnly, and said: "Thank you aunt for saving your life, the slave and maid will definitely tie the grass ring in the next life to repay my aunt's kindness today." ”

"Mama, hurry up." Xiao Ruo stretched out her hand to help Le Erniang up, she already felt guilty in her heart, and seeing Le Er Niang acting like this made her even more uneasy: "If it weren't for you to help clean up the wound that day, and to take care of Le Er's decoction, there would be no me today." ”

Le'er Niang wiped her tears, and when she saw that Le'er hadn't come over yet, she turned around and pulled her over, scolding her and saying, "I asked you to serve by the side of the medical aunt at the beginning, don't go to Qin Duchu." You are good, serving your master half-heartedly, and you are just restless, and you are even involved in such right and wrong. If it weren't for my aunt still remembering the love of the past, you wouldn't have enough to die if you had ten lives."

Le'er was pulled by her mother, and her feet were long, and she almost fell. After standing up straight, she was urged to walk to Xiao Ruo, but she still lowered her head, twisted the corners of her clothes with her hands, and refused to speak with tears in her eyes.

"I know you're smart, but it's the end of the story, and whatever you've done before has nothing to do with your future. After you leave the palace, you will live a good life with your mother, and with your mother's needlework skills, you will definitely not go hungry. Xiao Ruo said, and took out a purse from his arms, which contained some broken silver, and a letter with an antidote and stuffed it into Le'er's hand: "You take these silver, and when you leave the palace, you will find a way to inquire about Miaoyi Hutong." There is a medicine hall in that alley, and you can find it by asking someone nearby. When you see the doctor there, you teach him this letter, and he will take you in when he sees it. ”

Le'er looked at the purse and letter in her hand, thinking that Xiao Ruo not only saved her, but also begged her master to send her and her mother away from this place of right and wrong, and at this moment, she carefully arranged where they would go after leaving the palace, and her heart couldn't help but feel sour, and the tears in her eyes suddenly fell.

Raising her eyes to look at Xiao Ruo, Le'er choked up a little and said, "Auntie, the slave knows it's wrong. As he spoke, he wiped his tears with his sleeves and continued: "The slave maid shouldn't have seen the imperial concubine fall into power, so she half-heartedly thought about going to the queen's side. But even so, the slave maid really didn't put salvia in the fetal pills of the imperial concubine Niangniang, the slave and the maid were really wronged, auntie, you believe in the slave maid."

Le'er herself naturally knows best whether she has put salvia in the fetal pill. But no matter what she said, no one believed her. Even if she saw her mother today and cried with her mother, her mother, who loved her very much on weekdays, refused to believe her.

She knew that someone must have put salvia in the fetal medicine of the imperial concubine Niangniang without her knowledge and blamed her. Thinking of the grief on her face when her aunt accused her in the Feng Dynasty Palace, Le'er thought that she must convince this "kind-hearted" aunt that she didn't do such a harmful thing.

Ke Er didn't know that the "kind-hearted" aunt in her eyes was the wicked person who put salvia in the fetal pill to frame her.

The guilt that flashed in Xiao Ruo's eyes was that she had harmed their mother and daughter, but now the victim is grateful to her, the person who framed them. Although they wanted to send their mother and daughter out of the palace as a reward at the beginning, they should not have let their mother and daughter bear the experience of nine deaths in the past few days.

Xiao Ruo reached out and put her hand on Le'er's shoulder, shook her body gently, and said, "No matter what you do, you still don't do anything; Whether I believe you or not, when you leave the palace, you will no longer be a palace maid. Everything that happened in the palace, you have to forget it, and don't remember it for the rest of your life. It's just that you have to remember that the wisdom given to you by God is for you to protect you and your mother to live a good life, not for your mother to live in fear every day. ”

Le'er is a smart woman, as long as she no longer envy the top of power, the glory and wealth, after leaving the palace, she will definitely be able to live well, find a wishful husband, and live the life that a normal woman should live.

Le Er wiped her tears vigorously and cried "woo". She was actually just a little girl, and she was scared when she heard that Lan Shikang was going to put her to death; A man was locked up and waiting to die, and she was afraid; Thinking that her mother might be affected by her, she was also afraid.

Perhaps, as Xiao Ruo arranged, leaving the palace and forgetting everything in the palace is the best way out for her and her mother in this life.

"Aunt Doctor, the people sent by the emperor are still waiting in the Lanxiao Palace, and Concubine Shu has instructed them to send them out of the palace as soon as possible." The two mothers-in-law who were guarding the side waited patiently for a while, and when they saw that Xiao Ruo was almost done, they reminded him.

Xiao Ruo nodded, and carefully said what the approximate location of Miaoyi Hutong was, and what the doctor Yi Chu looked like, and then urged Le'er and her mother to get into the carriage. Seeing the two mothers-in-law driving the carriage out of the back garden, Xiao Ruo took a deep breath, suppressed the guilt in her heart, straightened her clothes, and went in the direction she came.

On the other side, a small commander of the Praetorian Guard led two people under him, somewhat flattered, drinking tea and tasting pastries in the main hall of Lanxiao Palace. It's just that they waited for a long time, and they almost saw through the main hall of Lanxiao Palace, and they didn't wait for the steward who could speak to see them, let alone any concubine Niangniang.

They got the emperor's dictation, but they came to get a palace maid who almost caused the miscarriage of the imperial concubine, which should have been an easy matter. Who knows, Concubine Shu actually opened her mouth to let them be placed here, and ordered good food and drink for this, and they didn't come out to see each other for a long time, and the little commander really couldn't figure out what this was for.

Could it be because the imperial concubine Niangniang hated the palace maid very much, so she ordered someone to be tortured severely, and now she is half dead and needs to be healed, so the effort that has been delayed for a long time has not been ignored, and the little commander can only sit and think wildly.

"Concubine Shu has arrived," the little eunuch who was guarding the door shouted to the inside.

The little commander immediately got up, stepped forward with two of his subordinates a few steps, knelt on the ground, and said, "Concubine Shu Niangniang Jin'an." ”

Finally, the master came out to take care of him. Although this tea is good, if he continues to drink it like this, he is afraid that the urine in his stomach will not be able to hold it back
