Chunhua and Qiuyue can help Yu Ruyan get out of the car and step into the gate of the other garden, but Aunt Qin, who has not seen each other for a long time, is waiting at the door and stretches out her hand to stop her

The curtain was drooping, and Aunt Qin stood at the door of the villa with a solemn and calm expression, describing a little more old color, her body was white, her eyes were no longer as clear as usual, and they were full of blood. [No pop-ups. 】

Since the death of Empress Xie, Aunt Qin has been waiting in front of the queen's coffin day and night with great grief, accompanying her master on the last journey decades ago.

For the death of Empress Xie, Aunt Qin has always felt very guilty and blamed herself, thinking that it was her poor protection that caused the queen to be killed. Before he knew the truth of the matter, he was also resentful of Yu Ruyan. It wasn't until Yue Yu found out the real cause of the queen's death not long ago that Aunt Qin felt guilty that she had wronged Yu Ruyan.

And her good-looking eyes, because of Queen Xie's death, she was wronged and blind

Now looking at her, her eyes are empty, and she has to rely on the maidservants around her to guide her in her actions. Although her expression was calm, there was no melancholy and sadness on her face, and she didn't seem to feel sad or sad for her blindness, but in Aunt Qin's eyes, she was inexplicably sad and sad, and involuntarily stepped forward to support her for Chunhua's hand.

Suddenly feeling that the people around her were different, Yu Ruyan was slightly startled. The outstretched hand reflexively retracted.

Chunhua was about to open her mouth to tell her that Aunt Qin from the palace was here, but Aunt Qin opened her mouth first, and said with a bitter smile: "Princess, it's an old slave!" ”

Suddenly hearing Aunt Qin's voice, Yu Ruyan was a little surprised, and felt that Aunt Qin's outstretched hand was very cold, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Aunt has been here for a long time, why don't you come into the house and sit, look at your hands are cold!" ”

After that, he had already stuffed the stove he was holding in his arms into Aunt Qin's hand.

Aunt Qin's heart warmed, and she looked at her eyes up close, feeling even more sorry and sad in her heart, and when she thought that Her Royal Highness cared about her so much, she was finally forced into a corner and stabbed her eyes with her own hands. At that time, I was afraid that His Royal Highness would be even more painful in his heart

Yu Ruyan was very happy with Aunt Qin's arrival, and took her hand and walked towards the garden, but was stopped by Aunt Qin.

Looking at Yu Ruyan in front of her, who looked kind to herself, Aunt Qin had mixed feelings in her heart, her expression was guilty, and she said with a sense of guilt: "Princess, the old slave will not go in, the old slave came this time to say sorry to the princess for herself and Niangniang."

"Before, the queen mother was deceived and wronged the princess, and the old slave also resented the princess, really shouldn't be the princess in fact, the princess is the real benefactor of the detoxification for the mother, the princess, the old slave thought, the mother must have known the truth before she died, and she must have regretted it in her heart, so please ask the princess to forgive her."

Aunt Qin's words stunned Yu Ruyan----

Although the queen mother has never had a good face for her before, she has forced her to leave Mu Lingzhi again and again when she is an ominous person, and later because of Xiaodao's murderous intentions on the establishment of her as the crown princess, she gave her a red crown

Yu Ruyan is not a person who does not hold grudges, but she can't hate Queen Xie in her heart. Because she knew that everything the queen did to her was nothing more than a mother's concern for her son. She was always afraid that she would harm Mu Lingzhi, so she would dislike her in all kinds, and under the deliberate provocation of Mu Ziyue and Yu Mingzhu, she couldn't tolerate her at all

Now hearing that Aunt Qin specially rushed to apologize to herself on behalf of the queen, Yu Ruyan was quite surprised: "Auntie is serious, many things before, Niangniang was also a victim, and now she has already forgotten what happened before, let it pass." Aunt doesn't need to blame herself."

"Thank you, princess, for not blaming!" When Aunt Qin heard her words, the guilt in her heart was slightly relieved, so she turned around and said goodbye and returned to the palace.

"Auntie, wait!"

Aunt Qin, who had just walked away two steps, was kept by Yu Ruyan, she thought for a moment, and said slowly: "Speaking of which, after the death of the queen, I have not been to her coffin to worship once, so it is better to go into the palace with my aunt to worship Niangniang!" ”

Hearing this, Aunt Qin was overjoyed.

She came this time, firstly, to apologize to Yu Ruyan, and for another reason, she wanted to invite her to worship and mourn in front of the coffin of the mother as the third princess. And so it goes. It's also good that the dead queen in the spirit of heaven knows that Yu Ruyan doesn't hold a grudge against her, and she is also relieved

Re-stepped into the carriage and went to the palace with Aunt Qin. Kankan arrived in the palace, Yu Ruyan took Aunt Qin's hand and was about to go towards the queen's mourning hall, when suddenly the big eunuch beside King Liang came forward and stopped in front of them, his slightly pale face flashed with panic, and he panted and said: "It just so happened that the princess just entered the palace, and His Majesty was sending the servants out of the palace to invite the princess into the palace to see." Please also ask the princess to go to the palace with the slave immediately! ”

Looking at the big eunuch's pale and anxious description, Aunt Qin, as an old man in the palace, noticed something unusual, and couldn't help but interject: "Father-in-law, I wonder if Your Majesty has been more comfortable these days?" ”

King Liang was already suffering from paralysis, after falling off the dragon bed last time, he was not well again, and recently encountered the queen was killed, the eldest prince Mu Yunzhi colluded with Mu Xiang to pervert the law for bribes, and killed Qincha's many changes, which made King Liang deeply hit, and his body was not very healthy, which made it even worse

On the day of the public trial, after hearing that Mu Yunzhi and Mu Xiang were greedy and murderous, he was so angry that he vomited blood and fell into a coma on the spot, and even if he woke up, his whole body was getting worse and worse

After listening to Aunt Qin's concerned inquiry, the great eunuch smiled and said, "Your Majesty, with the imperial doctors taking care of you, your body is slowly recovering!" ”

Since King Liang summoned her, Yu Ruyan had no choice but to say goodbye to Aunt Qin and follow the great eunuch to the Imperial Palace where King Liang lived.

Along the way, she couldn't help but wonder what King Liang summoned her at this time?

However, after thinking all the way, until she came to the Imperial Palace, and came to King Liang's bedroom couch, she still didn't guess what King Liang suddenly called her for?

In the silent dormitory, because the sky was dark, there were a few candles lit in the four corners of the hall, illuminating the luxurious and exquisite hall with shadows.

The doors and windows around are closed, a trace of cold wind can not penetrate in, and there are still three charcoal basins burning in the hall, and the whole hall is warm, but it makes Yu Ruyan, who suddenly came in, feel a little suffocated.

King Liang was lying on the soft couch on his back, and when he saw her come in, he waved his hand to let everyone in the hall retreat, leaving the most trusted eunuch around him alone, and let him lead Yu Ruyan to him, and looked at her quietly for a long time with cloudy eyes, but he never spoke

Yu Ruyan groped her knees in front of King Liang's bed. Respectfully bowed in the direction of the front, and then was helped up by the great eunuch, and the king of Liang gave her to sit down.

After a long time, King Liang opened his mouth heavily, but the words he said made Yu Ruyan so shocked that she almost fell off the stool----

King Liang's cloudy gaze moved away from her, and he looked at the void above his head in a daze, and sighed with a long sigh: "I, I'm afraid that time is running out."

And the next words made Yu Ruyan instantly hear the sound of the sky falling

After coming out of the Imperial Palace, it was already dark outside.

Chunhua and Qiuyue took Yu Ruyan from the hands of the great eunuch and carefully helped her to go out.

Chunhua asked, "Master, it's getting late. You haven't had dinner yet, are we going straight back to the other garden? ”

After a pause, Yu Ruyan's expression was calm, but her body trembled slightly.

Her empty eyes quietly looked at the nothingness in front of her, and said indifferently: "I said that I would go to the queen's coffin to worship, since I came, let's go to the mourning hall!" ”

The two maids listened to her words, hurriedly and carefully supported her, turned their heads and walked towards the queen's mourning hall

The crying outside the mourning hall shook the sky, but only Aunt Qin and Xiaoru knelt there.

Seeing Yu Ruyan coming in, Aunt Qin and Xiao Ru were taken aback, and Aunt Qin stepped forward and said, "It's so late." You might as well get out of the palace first, and it's not too late to come back tomorrow."

Yu Ruyan smiled indifferently and did not answer her words, but knelt down in front of the mourning hall and respectfully kowtowed to incense.

Xiao Ru on the side looked at her eyes in a daze, remembering the legends of the palace people before, knowing that it was His Royal Highness who blinded her eyes with his own hands, and couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart, and wanted to come forward to say a few words to her, but when she thought of what she said to Yu Ruyan when the two of them were in the Changle Hall of the East Palace for the last time, she couldn't help but feel embarrassed. Timidly stood aside and did not dare to step forward.

And Yu Ruyan heard Mu Lingzhi mention it before, saying that Xiaodao has a good relationship with her now, but her heart is relieved, hearing Chunhua say that she is here, she couldn't help but raise her hand to let her step forward, took her hand, and said with bitterness: "Xiaoru, how can the queen also pass away, and there is no one around the prince to take care of him and love him, you must take good care of him for the queen and stay by his side for a long time."

Xiao Ruqiao's face flushed, lowered her head and said shyly: "Xiao Ru obeys her sister's teachings!" ”

This 'sister' has already cracked the unhappiness in the hearts of the two of them before, Xiaoru just bowed her head and was shy, and did not notice the sadness hidden in Yu Ruyan's expression when she spoke

Coming out of the mourning hall, Aunt Qin sent her out for a long time, and she always wanted to ask her why King Liang summoned her just now?

But after thinking about it, he was a slave after all, and he could speculate on the will of heaven there, so he had to press down the uneasiness that surged in his heart and send Yu Ruyan out of the palace.

The carriage slowly headed for the annex in the night

As soon as he got into the carriage, the extremely shallow smile on Yu Ruyan's face disappeared in an instant. She sat quietly, the wind lamps hanging on the eaves of the car fluttering back and forth in the wind, and the dim and not very bright lights fell on her face

After a long time, she opened her mouth to ask the two maids, is there any news of Mu Ziyue?

Chunhua and Qiuyue shook their heads in unison, and said strangely: "It's strange, Your Highness, they haven't found Mu Ziyue, they haven't fished her out of the river, and they haven't found her out of the city, and a big living person suddenly disappeared." ”

After speaking, Chunhua remembered something again, and continued: "But I heard that Mu Ziyue didn't find it." The prince's people caught the Xiangfu girl who was mixed in the crowd and wanted to escape from the city, and the close-quarters maid Matry, who was also Mu Ziyue's side, was now cut off and hung at the gate of the city to show the public. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that people like her who turn their backs on their masters should be spurned by the world! ”

Yu Ruyan knew what the knife meant, and even more so knew that what he said about betraying the master was not that she secretly abandoned Mu Ziyue and ran away alone, but that Maria was obviously her dowry girl, but later took refuge in Mu Ziyue to harm her, so the knife was angry and hung her corpse to show the public

smiled bitterly in his heart, after going through so much, Xiaodao's temperament is still as clear as ever, I don't know if he will change after ascending the throne as the emperor

Chunhua and Qiuyue were still talking about Rosemary, but Yu Ruyan was quietly thinking about her own thoughts, and when she thought of what King Liang said to herself, her heart kept sinking, sinking to the bottom of the darkness, and she would never see the light again

The tears were about to burst out, but she held back her life

She asked Chunhua, on such a day, is the night market in the Eastern Capital still there?

Chunhua tells her that the night market has been there and asks her if she wants to go to the night market to eat?

Qiu Yue panicked when she heard this, and hurriedly said: "Master, Mu Ziyue hasn't subdued the law yet, His Royal Highness has specially told him to let the master go out of the mansion less, let's go back to the other garden, the slave always feels it."

Of course, she understood the fear and worry in her heart, and she smiled bitterly and said, "Don't worry, I'm not going alone, you let the entourage outside go and tell His Highness, I want to accompany him to the night market to eat hot pot!" ”

With Mu Lingzhi by their side, Qiuyue and the others were not afraid, and hurriedly asked the guards outside to tell Mu Lingzhi.

When the carriage stopped at the night market, Mu Lingzhi actually arrived at the night market before her.

As soon as he saw her get out of the carriage, he went up, took off his cloak and wrapped her, touched her cold hands, and said, "If you want to eat a hot pot, I'll make it for you at home, come out on such a cold day, be careful of catching a cold!" ”

Yu Ruyan suppressed the sadness in her heart, tried her best to look happy, and said with a smile: "I know that Your Highness is busy, and I just want to have a good meal with you." ”

Hear the words. Mu Lingzhi felt guilty in his heart, and said with self-reproach in his tone: "It's me who is not good, I have been busy with the affairs of the court, and I don't even have time to accompany you to have a good meal." ”

After that, he took her hand and led her to the stall they had been to during last year's Hanrui Festival, and asked the boss to serve food.

is still as usual, every time she eats, Mu Lingzhi always doesn't eat by herself, and specially picks up vegetables for her on the side, watching her eat with a doting face. And now that her eyes are out of sight, he takes care of her as carefully as a child, blows the scalding vegetables carefully, feeds them to her mouth, helps her wipe the oil stains on the side of her mouth, and the next second, the tea is handed to her mouth again

In normal times, Yu Ruyan would definitely ask Chunhua and Qiuyue to help her carry vegetables and let him eat more, because she knew that when he was busy, he often didn't have time to eat.

But today, she kept her head buried and obediently ate the food he fed, but she didn't say a word

Finish eating. Yu Ruyan took Mu Lingzhi's hand and didn't let go, she said, "Your Highness accompany me to take a walk on the long street." Last time, His Highness and I agreed to celebrate the Hanrui Festival together, but in the end, His Highness and I broke our promise, Your Highness, and today we will make up for the Hanrui Festival that we missed last time! ”

Mu Lingzhi had a keen feeling that Yu Ruyan was a little different tonight, but it was too late for him to investigate the faint sadness in her eyebrows and eyes, and when he came to report, he found Mu Ziyue's traces.

Mu Lingzhi was stunned when he heard this, and before he could open his mouth to apologize and explain to her, Yu Ruyan had already taken the initiative to let go of the hand holding him, and said with a slight smile: "Your Highness, be busy, don't worry about me!" ”

Mu Lingzhi hugged her and sat in the carriage, and said with guilt: "Yan Yan." You go back to the other garden and wait for me, and when I catch Mu Ziyue, I will go back to accompany you. Tomorrow I will accompany you out to eat a hot pot, and after eating, we will come back to the long street for a walk. Then go to the candy man shop, I'll make you a sugar man, okay? ”

He originally wanted to say that he would go to the sugar man shop to compete as a sugar man, but when he thought of her blind eyes, his heart hurt, and he hurriedly changed his mouth, afraid that she would feel sad when he heard it.

Yu Ruyan, who was sitting in the carriage, her expression was annihilated in the darkness, and she couldn't see the description on her face clearly, but it just inexplicably made Mu Lingzhi feel that a sad atmosphere spread from her

"Your Highness, let's get busy" The words were slightly cold, Yu Ruyan did not directly agree to his words, and smiled slowly at Mu Lingzhi in the dark

Mu Lingzhi was busy at night----

Because the whole city is in the Tongji Mu Ziyue, and her portraits are posted everywhere in the city, someone just took her portrait to the government to report the case, saying that she had seen her in the lowest tile kiln in Qisan Lane.

When Mu Lingzhi rushed to the low-filthy tile kiln with people, he didn't see Mu Ziyue's figure.

Mu Lingzhi called the old bustard of the tile kiln to inquire, and the old bustard had been gritting his teeth before, saying that he had not seen the woman they were talking about, until the officers and soldiers found suspicious blood stains in a dim and filthy room in the tile kiln, and Mu Lingzhi also put the long sword on the old bustard's neck, and the old bustard was so frightened that his butt urinated, and he had to tell the truth.

It turned out that after Mu Ziyue jumped off the moat, she did not go to Yu Ruyan for revenge, because after seeing the tragic death of her parents, she was even more afraid of death, not to mention that she still had to face the capital punishment of five horses

After escaping, she swam down the river to a hidden shore and landed. She was cold and afraid, unaccompanied, and knew that the city must be full of officials who had captured her, and it was impossible to escape from the city, so the top priority was to find a place to hide

racked his brains to think about where he could go, and finally just thought of the brother-in-law who had helped Mufu sell human beings---- the ruffian Liu Mazi.

She knew that he was familiar with all parts of the Eastern Capital. And most importantly, he knows many crooked and evil people, and there may be a way to send him out of the city and leave a life.

Thinking like this, she secretly touched the end of Qisan Lane with the address she had heard from the steward before, but it allowed her to successfully find Liu Mazi, who had just come back from outside.

Liu Mazi saw that the Mufu gate was beheaded at the entrance of the vegetable market at noon, and helped his brother-in-law, that is, the steward of the Mufu to collect the corpse afterwards.

At this point, Mu Ziyue is still difficult to change her usual arrogance, and she still looks down on this street ruffian who usually nods in front of their Mufu from the bottom of her heart, and she opened her mouth and ordered Liu Mazi to find a way to send her out of the city, and she was afraid that he would not agree, so she counted Liu Mazi's previous touching of Mufuguang one by one, in case he was in debt.

Mu Ziyue is usually smart and profitable, but today she was frozen by the river and her head was broken, and she was expecting a ruffian hooligan to talk about people's righteousness and kindness, didn't she kill herself?

This Liu Mazi used to covet Mu Ziyue's beauty, but because of his identity, he only dared to think about it in his heart. I never thought that Mu Ziyue would have a day when she would be delivered to the door by herself.

Although today's Mu Ziyue is far from the first beauty of the brilliant Liang before, and even her current appearance makes people a little disgusting and scared, Liu Mazi just wants to taste something fresh, and she also counts it for one of her previous wishes. So, while promising to help Mu Ziyue send her out of the city, she boiled hot water for her to take a bath and change clothes, looking enthusiastic, but in the end, Mu Ziyue came out of the bath and unceremoniously raped her

Of course, Mu Ziyue had to resist desperately, how could she bear that her noble body was ruined by a nasty ruffian. What's more, Liu Mazi's appearance is also very ugly, his face is pockmarked, his body is short, his description is obscene, and the whole person is like a stinky mouse crawling out of the gutter

And such a stinky rat-like disgusting man lying on her body and biting and arching indiscriminately, but it made Mu Ziyue's life worse than death!

However, she didn't dare to shout for help, and was threatened by Liu Mazi to go out of the city, but in the end, she had to obey him

thought that after satisfying him for one night and letting him vent his beastly desires, Liu Mazi would keep his promise and send him away, but she once again underestimated the viciousness and ugliness in Liu Mazi's heart, and also let her see how terrible people in the world are as vicious as her

Liu Mazi knew very well in his heart that not only could he not help Mu Ziyue escape, but he also couldn't leave her at home, otherwise he was afraid that even his own life would be buried.

Thinking that he had spent a lot of money to collect the body of his brother-in-law who died in vain, Liu Mazi's eyes rolled and he had already thought of a good idea

Early the next morning, he used drugs to stun Mu Ziyue and groom her well. actually carried her to the lowest tile kiln and sold it.

He lied that Mu Ziyue was the flower woman he picked up on the street, and after he deliberately dressed up, Mu Ziyue was still different from the portrait posted outside, and the bloodstained appearance of the prisoner car that everyone saw.

Therefore, the old bustard in the tile kiln did not recognize that the unconscious woman in front of him was actually a criminal arrested by the imperial court, and threw Liu Mazi two taels of silver to buy her.

When Mu Ziyue woke up from the drug, she found that there was a strange old man on her body, grinning at her with ugly and black black teeth, and her dirty and rough hands pinched the flesh on her body fiercely

Mu Ziyue completely fell into panic and despair, the old man on her body was older than her father, so disgusting, she was still doing the dirtiest and disgusting thing to herself, she couldn't help vomiting anymore

She pushed away the old prostitute on her body and escaped out, but before she could escape from the room, she was caught by the thugs guarding the door, and it was only then that she realized that she was eaten and wiped clean by Liu Mazi, and then sold to the tile kiln as the lowest prostitute

When she learned everything, she couldn't wait to find Liu Mazi immediately and eat him alive to relieve her hatred. But. No one else could be found, she was watched by the thugs again, and she couldn't escape if she wanted to, and the streets outside were full of officers and soldiers who had arrested her

In order to survive, she desperately restrained the churning hatred and humiliation in her heart, closed her eyes and thought of herself as a dead person, lying on the dirty and filthy pit, and letting others ravage and spoil it

A day passed, except for the half-hour meal time at noon, the bustard forced her to pick up customers at other times.

The men who climbed on her body were as many as six from morning to evening, and when the seventh prostitute entered the house, she could no longer hold back her frantic roar, and one accidentally said it when she was the daughter of the prime minister

The old bustard in the tile kiln took back a portrait of her, and after carefully identifying her, the next moment, he did not hesitate to let people beat her to death, and took advantage of the darkness to throw her into a mass grave, so as to escape the crime of harboring fugitives in the tile kiln

When Mu Lingzhi led the official errand and rushed to the mass grave with torches, the wild dog, which had been hungry for a winter, had already bitten Mu Ziyue's body to pieces
