Chapter 21: Snow White is Dead
"What is the second lady thinking?" Aunt Liu Ruo's words suddenly pulled me back to reality. I turned my head to look at the scenery by the window, and after adjusting my expression, I replied casually:
"It's nothing, I just want snow."
"Snow? Who is Whitesnow? Aunt Liu Ruo asked suspiciously.
"Bai Xue, it's my dog, it's snow-white, it's well-behaved, it's just ......"
"Just what?"
"It's just that it got lost some time ago when I went out with Sandalwood, and I asked people to look for it for several days but couldn't find it." I didn't make up these words to deceive Aunt Liu Ruo, and I have indeed been haunted by Bai Xue's loss.
"I see, the second lady misses Bai Xue?"
"Sort of." I replied with a light sigh.
"In this case, when I enter the palace, I will explain this matter to the Queen Mother. The slave maid heard that Princess Wenlin also got a new puppy recently, which is snow-white and very cute, so she can take the dog to walk around with you more. ”
"Then I'll thank my aunt first, but my sister is seriously ill, and I am sick in the palace, so naturally it is inconvenient to have more contact with outsiders, and I want to come here because I have no chance with the puppy." When I answered Aunt Liu Ruo's words, I deliberately showed a look of pity.
Princess Wenlin, I naturally know, the daughter of the concubine of the head of the four concubines, is only eight years old and is famous in the major boudoirs in the capital because of her arrogance and unreasonableness, let alone meeting, this time I entered the palace, I just want to be able to avoid her mother and daughter.
After traveling for a while, the carriage stopped, and I got out of the carriage with the help of Aunt Liu Ruo.
"Second Miss, Yaoguang Hall has arrived, and the slave maid is in a hurry to give the Queen Mother a decree and will not send you in, and her own grandmother will come out and lead you in."
"Okay, even so, Min'er thanked her aunt first." After I thanked Aunt Liu Ruo, she turned around and walked towards Anshou Palace, and for a while I was the only one left at the gate of this huge palace......
I looked up at the hall but did not take a step, maybe it was all the things I had experienced in my previous life, standing in front of this door at this moment, I only felt that the words "Yaoguang Palace" on the door were particularly dazzling.
"Second Miss, are you here?" A familiar voice suddenly came from behind him, it was Ruri.
She brought me into the temple and told me with a worried look on her face that my sister had been unwell lately, and that she had been sleeping more than usual during the day, and that she had not yet gotten up. I refused her offer to wake my sister up and led her to the hospital.
The pavilion in the courtyard was facing my sister's window, and I sat here looking at the window in my sister's room just as she had looked at it. After Zhong Xuan's death in the previous life, my sister has been dragging her sick body to sit in front of the window, and her eyes are on this pavilion, she said: "When Zhong Xuan was still alive, I always liked to sit here and wait for her to get up." ”
"Liuli, how is the second prince doing lately?" I asked Ruri in a low voice beside me.
"Fortunately, the imperial doctor has been looking at it carefully, and said that it is not a big problem, and in a few years, I will be able to practice martial arts with the eldest prince."
"Well, that's really good." Hearing Liuli say this, my heart instantly let go of a little bit, if Zhongxuan is fine, my sister's illness may be able to get better.
While my sister didn't wake up, I talked a lot with Ruri again, and we talked about everything after my sister got married.
From Liuli's mouth, it can be known that Li Yu has always treated his sister very well, and he has always been as praised by the world. But after all, this is the depths of the palace gate, and my sister doesn't like to compete, so she is destined to be difficult step by step, and behind Li Yu's unknowing, my sister is not less wronged. For example, the queen mother's seizure of power, Concubine Shu's disrespect, Concubine Xian's domineering, Li Meiren's small means, and so on......
"A woman regards her husband as the sky, she really loves the emperor!" I sighed softly, not caring if Ruri could understand......
Just when Liuli and I were talking against Concubine Shu, someone came to report that Concubine Shu took Princess Wenlin to see the queen. I glanced at Ruri with a speechless look.
"Sure enough, I don't talk about people during the day, I don't talk about ghosts at night, and I don't talk about anything." I muttered softly.
"What did the second lady say?" Liuli looked at me in confusion and said.
"It's nothing, since the plague god has come to the door, then I'll send it off" I turned to Liuli and said, "You go in first to see if the queen is awake, right?" ”
After Liuli responded, she walked to the room, I sat upright for a while, grabbed a handful of melon seeds and ate while waiting for the concubine to come in. In addition, he also went through the family history of Concubine Shu in his mind, the daughter of the deputy general of the border pass, and his father and brother have made many military exploits, so they have always been respected by Li Yu in this palace, and they have used it as a proud capital.
I think she came over this time, probably because she heard about my entry into the palace, so she came to suppress it and wanted to suppress it. Sure enough, this palace is already boring to this point? I sprinkled the skin of the melon seeds on the ground and smiled contemptuously, no matter how I said that I was also the champion of the palace fight in the previous life, a little concubine, how could I put it in my eyes?
"I heard that the queen's sister has entered the palace, presumably this is it, right?"
Hearing the voice, I looked up at the concubine, worthy of being the head of the harem, bright eyes and bright teeth, skin like snow, this smile makes people feel like a breeze illusion, in the previous life when I entered the palace I heard that she had already died of illness, can only occasionally know from the sigh of the next person that she is beautiful, now this look, really deserves the name.
"Exactly, the courtiers see the lady concubine." I got up and said goodbye.
"Even if it's the queen's sister, it's all her own person, and my sister doesn't need to be polite." Concubine Shu helped me up, and the scene was very warm for a while, it was really a harem, and the feelings have always been so true and false.
After standing still, I saw Princess Wenlin standing next to me, holding a snow-white puppy in her hand
"Snow." I don't know why, the moment I saw the puppy, I couldn't help but call Bai Xue.
In fact, since I first entered the yard, the dog has been humming dishonestly, and when I heard this, Bai Xue couldn't hold back anymore, and broke free from Princess Wenlin and ran towards me. Seeing this scene, I can conclude that this dog must be my Bai Xue, what happened in the middle, why is my Bai Xue in the palace?
"What snow, this is a potato, come back soon." I was just about to squat down and hug Bai Xue, when I saw Princess Wenlin also rushing over, and hit me directly, I didn't squat down for a while, and I didn't dodge, so I could only catch the collision and fall to the steps in the courtyard with Princess Wenlin.
"Ah......h Then I heard the sound of the back of my head hitting the ground, and my head buzzed, and I watched the chaotic image in front of me gradually blur.
As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw my sister sitting next to teach Zhongxuan to read and write.
"Sister." I whispered, and my throat suddenly ached. It seems that my trip is not short.
"Min'er is awake, Liuli is quick, go pour a glass of water and come in." Seeing me wake up, my sister hurriedly walked over with Zhong Xuan.
"How's it going, is there anything uncomfortable?" My sister asked.
"Nope." I shook my head, and suddenly I felt my head burst, and I snorted softly and frowned.
"Don't move, the Imperial Doctor said that you knocked your head when you fell, you have to take care of it carefully, don't move first, I'll call Liuli to invite the Imperial Doctor."
I looked at Zhong Xuan, who was standing on the side, and smiled slightly, it would be great if you could grow up healthily.
After lying down for a few days, I can get out of bed and walk around, Liuli told me that after knowing that I was injured, the Queen Mother was furious, and immediately ordered Concubine Shu and Princess Wenlin to be grounded in Xuanhua Palace, and could not leave the house for three months.
"What about the snow? Do you know how Bai Xue is now? ”
"Snow? What the second lady said was the puppy in the courtyard that day? Ruri asked suspiciously.
"yes, what's going on with that puppy?"
"Concubine Shu blamed all the faults on the puppy, and after being punished, she ordered someone to throw Bai Xue into a small pond in the courtyard and drown him alive, and also peeled off his fur and made shoes ......"
"What? This lady is so vicious...... "After hearing this, I couldn't help crying anymore.
"Second Miss, don't cry, the doctor said that you can't have mood swings with this injury." Seeing me crying, Liuli instantly became at a loss.
Although sad, but I always feel that things are not so simple, no matter how Bai Xue appeared in the palace, it is more like someone deliberately did it, maybe everything in the courtyard that day was not an accident, Bai Xue is just a chess piece......
