According to the regulations of the Dayue ancestral system, every New Year's Day and Wangri, the emperor must stay in the queen's Fengluan Palace. Today is the sun, and the emperor naturally stayed in the Fengyi Hall according to the rules.

In the middle of the moon, the clear light is sprinkled, as if a layer of silver frost has been applied to the layers of palace eaves. After all, it's late autumn, and it's not like the dense insect chirping like falling rain before, but now only a few sounds can be heard occasionally.

The long night was more profound, but Liu Yuanzhi and Ruan Mingting were not sleepy, the two were playing chess with great interest, and they didn't know how many games of chess they had played this night.

Han Yue and Zi Mo were watching from the sidelines, adding some hot tea and pastries to Liu Yuanzhi and Ruan Mingting from time to time.

Ruan Mingting used a small piece of yam and jujube paste cake, and after taking another sip of fried rice tea, he sighed, "No wonder I didn't know that Xu always likes to run to my sister, but now I think about it, it's really for a reason." ”

Ruan Mingting saw Liu Yuanzhi looking at her with a puzzled expression, so he pointed to the refreshments on the table and smiled, "Well, that's all for food." How many times have I been to my sister's place, and I haven't eaten the same dim sum, can it not be attractive to change the tricks like this? Look at today, there is another fragrant fried rice tea. I saw that what the emperor said was really right, my sister does have a seven-trick exquisite heart. ”

When Liu Yuanzhi heard this, she smiled, "Mingting, then you really misunderstood, this really has nothing to do with me." She said, her eyes turned to Han Yue, "These tricks are all thought up by Yue'er." There is no soup and pastry that she won't make, if you don't believe it, you can try it. Who has these seven exquisite hearts? It's the moon. ”

"The little master praised it falsely, and the slave and maid would only do such a thing. can't get on the stage, how can you bear these seven tricks. Hanyue said modestly, her smile a little obscure. She used to be in Xiao Mansion, and she was also a young lady who didn't touch the spring water with her fingers, and after entering King Jing's Mansion, she learned these things so hard in order to better serve Nangong Jing. But I never thought that the joy I was full of at the beginning turned out to be an old thing I didn't want to talk about anymore.

When Ruan Mingting heard this, he took a deep look at the cold moon. She has seen the calm and calm of the cold moon, and she has also experienced her resourcefulness and ingenuity, and the charm of the cold moon will always make her feel very unique, not at all like what a maid should have. She then said, "Miss Yue'er is really different, no wonder ......" Ruan Mingting's voice became lower and lower, and the latter sentence was almost inaudible. Her heart was a little sour, like taking a bite of an unripe green apple, so sour that it made people want to shed tears.

"Ming Ting, what did you say?" Liu Yuanzhi on the side asked suspiciously.

Ruan Mingting's eyes flickered a little, but the flickering candlelight made her long eyelashes cast a shadow on her face, making it impossible to see her expression. Ruan Mingting raised his eyes instead, and said with a smile, "I mean, no wonder Miss Yue'er is so likable." The Yue'er girl next to my sister is still so likable, isn't that sister even more likable? ”

"You, come to tease me again, even your sister is not doing a good job, and she has taught Zhixu badly." Liu Yuanzhi said angrily.

Ruan Mingting didn't comply, "Sister, how can I have it, that is to know that the girl is like this." ”

Liu Yuanzhi shook her head helplessly, "Okay, okay, don't be poor, if you don't play chess well, you're going to lose to me again!" Ruan Mingting was relieved when he heard this, so he put his eyes on the chessboard.

Han Yue watched the game between the two in front of her with great interest, but Zi Mo couldn't help but yawn after watching it for a long time, remembering that when she was in Xiao Mansion, Zi Mo didn't like to play chess, she felt that playing chess was a very boring thing, and there was no fun at all. Therefore, whenever she watched her young lady play chess, her eyelids would always be unable to help but fight.

Han Yue knew Zi Mo's temperament, and she looked at the palace maids and chamberlains standing in the room in a regular manner, and said to everyone gently, "It's late at night, the weather is cold, just let me stay here, you all go down and rest." The little master and the little master Ruan don't need so many people to serve when they play chess, and the rest of the people will disperse if they stay on duty today. Zi Mo, you should also go and rest. ”

Liu Yuanzhi also said, "Just according to what Yue'er said, let's go and rest." When they heard this, they all withdrew.

Zi Mo was happy to get Han Yue's words, she couldn't bear it anymore. She explained a few words to Lu Ping and Xiao Guizi, who were on duty tonight, and went down to rest. Lu Ping is responsible for guarding and serving in the palace, and Xiao Guizi is responsible for guarding in front of the palace gate outside.

The night is as cool as water, silent, the sound of chess pieces falling on the chessboard can be heard clearly, and there are occasionally one or two "beep" sounds from the wick of the candle, which adds a sense of tranquility to the dark night.

"My sister treats the slaves and maids so well." Ruan Mingting said softly.

Liu Yuanzhi smiled, "Slaves and maids are also human beings, and they are no different from us in essence. All sentient beings are suffering, so why should they be treated harshly. ”

The two were talking and laughing, and no one noticed that a man was rushing in at the door, a woman with unkempt hair. She was dressed in a coarse cloth dress, barefoot, and with a dagger in her hand, she came towards Liu Yuanzhi.

It happened so suddenly, Han Yue, Liu Yuanzhi, and Ruan Mingting didn't have time to react, and they didn't recognize who that person was. It wasn't until they heard the man shouting, "Liu Yuanzhi, I'm going to kill you slut", that they recognized the person as Sun Yuwei, who had been beaten into the cold palace.

Sun Yuwei's whole person seemed to be a different person, her eyes were scarlet, almost crazy. Sun Yuwei's appearance was really terrifying, and the little palace maid Lu Ping, who was pushed to the ground, was extremely frightened when she saw this, her body trembled uncontrollably, and her legs were a little weak. She put her hands on the door frame, and shouted out of the door with a trembling voice, "Come on, come on, someone will assassinate the little master, come on." But everyone stopped, and even if they heard the sound again, they would not have arrived so quickly.

Seeing that Sun Yuwei was about to rush in front of Liu Yuanzhi, the little palace maid Lu Ping rushed forward with courage, but before she could get to the front, she was slapped away by Sun Yuwei, and her head hit the pillar and fainted.

Xiao Guizi hurriedly came from the gate of the palace after hearing the sound, he rushed up and wanted to take away the dagger in Sun Yuwei's hand, but he didn't expect the crazy Sun Yuwei to have such a strong force, he couldn't grab the knife, but was cut by Sun Yuwei, and the blood flowed on his arm.

Seeing this, Han Yue's heart was shocked, and she hurriedly shouted, "Little master, you go quickly." After she finished speaking, she picked up a chessboard on the table and wanted to step forward to deal with Sun Yuwei, she thought to herself that even if she couldn't subdue Sun Yuwei, it would buy some time for Liu Yuanzhi and Ruan Mingting to escape. snapped, but I didn't think that the chessboard in my hand was suddenly opened by Sun Yuwei, and Han Yue stumbled several times before stabilizing herself.

"Ming Ting, her target is me, you go quickly." Liu Yuanzhi said and pushed away Ruan Mingting beside her.

Liu Yuanzhi turned around and was about to run, but Sun Yuwei stepped on the long skirt, she rushed forward, and the whole person fell to the ground heavily. She turned her head, and what caught her eye was Sun Yuwei's incomparably distorted face, and her once beautiful eyes were now filled with endless hatred and resentment.

Liu Yuanzhi was extremely frightened, and her body no longer listened to her call. "Liu Yuanzhi, you slut! Go to hell! Hahaha......" Sun Yuwei shouted and laughed, like a madman who is crazy to the extreme!

Han Yue saw that it was too late to push Liu Yuanzhi away, and in an instant, she rushed to Liu Yuanzhi desperately.

"Yue'er!" Liu Yuanzhi shouted in panic.

Seeing that the silver dagger was about to stab down on her chest, Hanyue felt sad in her heart, and she didn't think that she would die in this way. At this moment, several faces flashed quickly in her mind, including her father Xiao Rin, her mother-in-law Mrs. Xiao, Zi Mo who never gave up, Liu Yuanzhi who was like a sister, and ...... Nangong Heng......

However, to Han Yue's surprise, at the moment when the silver dagger was about to be pierced, Ruan Mingting actually flew in front of her.

"Hmm......" Ruan Mingting snorted, and the sharp blade of the dagger stabbed straight into her body.

Sun Yuwei saw that Liu Yuanzhi was still in front of her, and she realized that she had killed the wrong person, so she yelled angrily, pulled out her dagger, and wanted to assassinate again. It's just that as soon as she raised her hand and didn't have time to make other moves, she was subdued by Xiao Lizi and An Shun, who rushed over. From the time it happened to the present, it was only a moment's work.

When the dagger was inserted into Ruan Mingting's chest, it was fine, but when it was pulled out, the wound immediately bled like an infusion. Han Yue held Ruan Mingting in one hand and pressed the wound desperately with the other, but no matter how hard she tried, the dazzling red blood still flowed out.

"Quick, hurry up and declare the Imperial Doctor, go to Xuan Imperial Doctor!" Liu Yuanzhi looked at Han Yue holding the weak Ruan Mingting in her arms, and she shouted loudly to everyone, at this time, she didn't care about any rules and manners.

The people who came in a hurry immediately got busy when they got the order, and Xiao Li Ziyin and Anshun were working together to contain Sun Yuwei, and they couldn't get out of it for a while. Seeing this, Zi Mo immediately ran towards the Tai Hospital. Qingli was responsible for informing the emperor and empress, and the new palace maid Huang Xing went to prepare hot water towels......

Han Yue stared closely at Ruan Mingting's increasingly pale face, she didn't expect that in this life and death, Ruan Mingting would use his body to block the knife for her. At that moment, the impact that Ruan Mingting brought to the cold moon could be described as great.

The wound on Ruan Mingting's chest was still bubbling blood, and the green dress on Han Yue's body had already been stained red with blood, and she couldn't see her original color. Hanzuki's hands trembled, not knowing what to do. She looked at Ruan Mingting, her eyes were already full of tears unconsciously, "Little Lord Ruan, why are you so stupid?" Why do you want to block the sword for the slave and maid? ”
