The changes in the court are strange, and it is by no means something that a leisurely and lazy person like me can understand, Li Xuan can tell me so much, and his trust in me is far beyond my imagination. In the past, I couldn't be interested in political affairs, but after this catastrophe of life and death, I deeply realized that Li Xuan's status today is not easy, I am his wife, and he will be both prosperous and lossy, I will help him guard this Xuan Palace, guard our home.

The Chu Hong he sketched in a few words was so far away from me, I understood his intentions, but I still couldn't help but be stunned.

I just met Chu Hong by chance, but even Yuan Jing misunderstood that we were not innocent and had an ulterior relationship, not to mention Li Xuan, the emperor, and the rest of this Great Qi? People are terrible, rumors are unstoppable, when Li Xuan wants to protect me, it is inevitable to guarantee that I will not bear the notoriety of red apricot out of the wall, Li Xuan is the prince of the dynasty, the emperor will definitely condemn me in order to take care of his reputation, so that their monarchs and ministers have a disagreement, and they will make people with a heart take the opportunity to take advantage of the loophole.

This series of consequences is pieced together, and I feel afraid, if Chu Hong really calculates every step precisely and skillfully, if he has a backup move, and now he is just holding back and waiting for the opportunity, then where will he put me? Even the plate of sweet Bao Zhai's dim sum in Fengyi Palace, the queen's surprise, I don't dare to think about it anymore.

I regard him as my first friend in the capital, but I can't calculate whether he really regards me as his friend, people's hearts are unpredictable, is it because I am Li Xuan's princess, it has become a reason for him to use me? When did it become so complicated between people? I can't figure it out.

Seeing my loss, Li Xuan's eyes swelled with undisguised ruthlessness and murderous intent: "Xi'er, I said that anyone who wants to hurt you, I will not let it go, anyone-"

"Originally, I just wanted to kill a spy to remind him, but then I changed my mind, he dared to think about you and touch my bottom line, so I naturally had to give him some warnings."

Before I could understand the deep meaning of Li Xuan's words, his right hand was already held in the palm of his hand, and he sighed: "Why are your hands so cold?" ”

Li Xuan's shush and warmth made me feel better, I still have him, don't I? Even if everyone leaves me, at least I still have Li Xuan.

I stubbornly stared at his deep eyes, and said word by word: "Li Xuan, everyone in this world can deceive me and use me, but you can't, I gave you my most sincere feelings, if you do something sorry for me, I will never forgive." ”

Li Xuan's face changed slightly, and he was in a trance for a moment, but soon his expression remained the same: "Xi'er, all I wanted was you." I swear by heaven and earth, heart for heart, I will never live up to you in this life and this life. ”

A big smile bloomed on my face, and I immediately forgot about my previous troubles. I feel like a turtle, shrunk in a small shell, deceiving myself, Chu Hong's deception and use clearly make my heart ache, but I have Li Xuan, so I don't want to hurt others anymore.

I haven't noticed the embarrassed look on Aunt Yun's face when Li Xuan said this, even she knows how important Xiao Ye is to me, but Li Xuan killed Xiao Ye to break my heart, in his heart, no matter how important I am, I can't compare to his power and status.

Dr. Zhang came to see me twice a day, just to supervise me to take medicine and check my diet and eat by the way. I repeatedly stressed to him that I had recovered, and I didn't need him to run to the Xuan Palace, he stroked his gray beard, and smiled at me with decades of experience as a doctor: "The princess is young, and she has great curiosity to nourish the medicine, so the old man is naturally not worried." But the princess is weaker than ordinary people, so she should not be impatient, and take care of herself according to the old man's instructions. ”

Again, for the sake of his medical skills, I would have rushed up and pulled off his goatee one by one.

After Imperial Physician Zhang left, Aunt Yun brought a bowl of black and thick decoction, I was scared when I saw it, and hesitated to drink it, so she had to stand next to her and gently persuade: "Imperial Physician Zhang is the oldest imperial doctor in the palace, only for the emperor and the queen to diagnose the pulse, the princess will endure for a while, and when her body is completely recovered, the whole palace inside and outside is not all due to your temperament?" ”

No matter how I shirked, I couldn't escape the life of drinking medicine, so I pinched my nose and swallowed the medicine fed by Aunt Yun one by one, even so, the whole mouth was still bitter, hey, don't get sick in the future, torture in vain.

After drinking the medicine, Aunt Yun handed me the water to rinse my mouth, I raised my head and muttered a few times, spit the mouthwash in the porcelain bowl, she took it and let the maid on the side take it away, I wiped the corners of my mouth with a silk handkerchief, and couldn't help but say: "I'm tired of staying in Mozhuju every day, when can I go back to Moyuan, I'm so sick, Xiaoye and Chulan don't come to see me, they are the most intimate people who serve me." ”

Aunt Yun said: "The princess has been sick and can only stay in the inner room, in fact, the regulations and environment of this Mozhu residence are far above the ink garden, and when the princess is all well, she will go around here carefully." ”

I didn't think so: "Mozhuju is Li Xuan's residence, and it's not mine, not to mention Moyuan and Xiaoye." ”

I didn't expect the reason why Aunt Yun didn't want me to go back to the ink garden so soon, my Xiao Ye, the little Ye girl who accompanied me day and night, was locked up in a violent room and tortured to death, if I learned the news during my illness, what a heavy blow it would be?

"I think I'm in a very good spirit today, Aunt Yun, don't always take Li Xuan's words to heart, let me go out." I begged.

"This ......" Aunt Yun was a little embarrassed.

I hurriedly pretended to be pitiful: "Imperial Doctor Zhang said that I have to bask in the sun often so that my body will get better faster." ”

Aunt Yun couldn't resist me in the end, and when I changed my clothes, she added a cyan cloak for me, carefully tied the belt into a delicate bow, and said to herself: "It's cold outside, the princess can't be cold anymore, she is still at such a good age, but her body is full of holes, how can the slave and maid explain to Concubine Sumire?" ”

I was full of joy, Aunt Yun's voice was low, I couldn't hear it very clearly: "What is Auntie talking about?" ”

She came back to her senses and looked a little uncomfortable: "Ah, the slave maid is saying that the princess should be careful about the cold weather, and now that the Mid-Autumn Festival has passed, it is already very cold." ”

I looked at the warm sunlight outside, and it was very warm, but it was a cold wind. Yes, the turmoil has finally subsided, but it has passed the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the agreement with Li Xuan has been missed like this, which is really sad.

When I walked out of Mozhuju, I took a look at Bai Yi, he ignored me with a cold expression, but he followed me inseparably, only half a step away from me, it seemed that Li Xuan asked him to protect me closely, and I didn't say anything, just wandering around the palace.

I happened to walk to the flower and wood room, and I said excitedly: "Aunt Yun, let's go to the flower and wood house, Ah Shi is inside, I haven't seen him for a long time." ”

Aunt Yun also nodded in agreement, and I pushed open the small door of the fence, and the hibiscus branches in the flower garden were luxuriant, and the flowers were like brocade, and the beauty was not like the world.

I pointed to the hibiscus that was blooming just right: "Aunt Yun, look, none of the flowers and plants cultivated by Ah Shi are not vibrant. ”

"Without the help of the princess, the flowers and plants in the flower and wood house are of course full of life." With a big smile on his face, Ah Shi came over and teased me.

I pretended to be unhappy and pulled down my face: "You mean that this princess has done you a favor in the past?" ”

Ah Shi immediately compensated me: "The small mouth is stupid, the princess has a lot, don't be like the small one." ”

He really pretended to slap his mouth, which made me laugh, and spared him right away.

I turned my head to see a thin woman in plain clothes squatting, holding a small shovel to loosen the soil, as if she had been tired for a long time, and the sweat wet the broken hair between her foreheads, she was wearing very thin, as if a gust of wind could blow it away. I saw her familiar, but I couldn't remember where I had seen her.

I then asked Ah Shi, "Who is the man who is squatting and digging the soil?" ”

"Her name is Chu'er, and she was only assigned to the flower and wood house last month, maybe she made a mistake, Steward Li arranged some heavy work for her, and she was not allowed to help others, so she was punished." Ah Shi didn't know why I asked about a slave who couldn't be named, but he answered me honestly.

"I remember that she was the maid who served Mrs. Xiang's daily life." Last time, she had a quarrel with Xiao Ye, and I had a conflict with Mrs. Xiang.

"When Mrs. Xiang was favored, she was also publicized among the subordinates, and since Mrs. Xiang left the palace, she also lost her support, and it was only a matter of time before she was punished." Aunt Yun said.

"She was fined because of me?"

Ah Shi shook his head and said: "Princess, don't think so, Steward Li has clear rewards and punishments, if Chu'er doesn't make a mistake, she won't be punished." ”

I remembered that time when I went to the account room, at that time, Mrs. Xiang and Chu'er were arrogant and flamboyant, and did not take me as a princess in their eyes at all. Yinmeng is a woman who dares to love and hate, and I have more luck than her, that's all.

I walked towards Chu'er and was stopped by Aunt Yun: "Now that the princess has gone to relieve her punishment, she may not be grateful." ”

"I only want to have a clear conscience, not to be felt by others." I turned back to Aunt Yun and said.

I walked up to Chu'er, and before she could speak, she raised her head, her face was so pale that there was no blood, and I could see that she had a hard time this month: "Princess? ”

She threw down the shovel and stood up, her eyes mixed with hostility, like quenched ice: "Did the princess move the flower and wood house to see how depressed the slave was?" ”

"If you want to leave the palace, I will do what you wish, I can ask Steward Li to give you a sum of money, and you can open a shop in the capital, and you don't have to worry about your future life." It was the best ending I could think of for her.

She smiled disdainfully: "The slave doesn't dare to accept the princess's love." ”

She approached me again and said in a voice that only the two of us could hear, "The princess has driven away Madame, and wants to drive me away with her?" I'm not as good as you like. ”

"Why are you doing this? Could it be that if you suffer here, will Yin Meng be able to return to the Xuan Palace? ”

Chu'er said hatefully: "If it weren't for you, how could Madame leave sadly?" When you didn't marry into the palace, the prince and his wife respected each other like guests and had a deep relationship, but as soon as you came, the prince's heart was not in his wife. The prince doesn't stay in Qinyuan at night, do you know how Mrs. survived? There is not a night when she does not sleep all night, just sits in a daze until dawn, how can you understand the mood of Madame? ”

Yin Meng is such a woman who is so persistent in love, Chu'er is loyal to the Lord, and I will not worry about her because of these words: "Look at this hibiscus, you are also in the prime of life, you really don't have to be trapped in the palace......"

"Hibiscus blooms at dusk, but it's not an auspicious flower." Chu'er interrupted me coldly.

She was determined to choose such a difficult road, I knew that it was useless to say more, my expression was a little gloomy, and I was interested in pulling Aunt Yun away, and before I took a few steps, I heard Chu'er's voice sounding behind me: "If you are pitiful, the princess's maid Xiaoye is a hundred times more miserable than me, I can't bear some hardships left and right, but she even lost her life." ”

My feet were pinned to the spot, I couldn't take a step anymore, I turned back to see Chu'er still standing there, her body was emaciated, but her eyes were blazing, a smug pity appeared on her pale face, and I heard my own voice faint: "What did you say? ”

She seemed to see the most wonderful play: "It turns out that the princess doesn't know at all." ”
