Chapter Eighty-Three: The Water Is Clear and There Are No Fish
Yue Yu has already mentioned to her that this treatment for Brother An is seventy percent sure that he can help her take off her clothes, but it will leave a huge sequelae, that is, she will not be able to get pregnant again for life!
The silver needle seals the blood veins that supply blood to the clothes, but it also hurts her uterus, making it impossible to conceive.
Although Yue Yu had warned her in advance, Yu Ruyan still didn't want to believe it, so she came to Yue Yu in a hurry, hoping for a miracle, but she didn't expect to get the same answer.
Seeing the loss in her eyes, Yue Yu Qingjun's face flashed with a trace of guilt, but before he could speak, Yu Ruyan had come back to his senses, smiled with relief, and said gratefully: "Childe, don't think too much, I am grateful for your ability to save her life, Childe's kindness, I will always remember it, and I will repay it when I have the opportunity in the future." ”
Yue Yu listened to her promise and moved, her pale face seemed to be a little ruddy, her eyes were slightly closed, and the light inside was shining.
Walking out of the Wuwei Medical Center, the bright sun of early spring has hung high overhead, shining on people's bodies with warmth, but Yu Ruyan's mood is extremely heavy, and the bottom of his heart seems to be immersed in the cold wind, cold and biting. Her eyes gently swept in the direction of Brother An's house, and a wave of pity welled up in her heart—
How cruel is it for a woman to be deprived of the right to be a mother?
Brother An has always liked children, she once told her privately that she will have a group of children in the future, watch them grow up, watch them get married, and look forward to the day when people are old, children and grandchildren will share their family around their knees, but now ······
Her eyes began to sour again, and when she thought of the happy events she had heard from everyone in the Eastern Capital along the way, her cold eyes flashed with hatred-
Is a scum like Mu Ziyang also worthy of marrying a princess as a concubine? God agrees, she doesn't agree!
With a flash of cold eyes, she ordered the knife to turn the head of the car and drive deeper into Qisan Lane······
The chess tournament originally scheduled for February 15 was somehow postponed for a month, and Tong Qian looked sorry when he told Yu Ruyan the news. She didn't react much, she wasn't interested in any chess competition, and she agreed to go with Mu Lingzhi because she wanted to take the opportunity to go out of the mansion to see Brother An, but now he has given herself the right to go out of the mansion freely, so it is no longer rare to have any chess competitions.
She didn't care about it, and continued to add firewood to the stove in her hand, the fire was ignited, and the bone broth in the pot came out with a rich fragrance, and she took a satisfied breath of the fragrance in the air, and her heart couldn't wait.
Since the last time she ate a hot pot in the night market, Yu Ruyan thought about it day and night, but she couldn't resist the gluttony in her heart, so she took advantage of the rainy day to learn to make a hot pot by herself.
She was busy by the stove, and after the copper coin finished speaking, she had no intention of leaving, and stood at the threshold with a description of wanting to speak and stopping, her face was full of loneliness, and her lips moved a few times and it was difficult to speak.
Yu Ruyan glanced back at him, looking at him with his head on his head and looking depressed, thinking that he hadn't seen Yan Fei come to Yunsong Courtyard to look for him for a few days, he couldn't help asking: "Why haven't I seen you go to Yan Fei to play for a long time, what's the matter, quarrel?" ”
Hearing this, Tong Qian's face turned red, scratched his head and said dejectedly: "I didn't quarrel, but ······ Recently, she always said that there was something wrong and asked me not to go to her. I wondered, will it be ······ Could it be that her father and mother don't approve of us being together, so ······"
Before he finished speaking, the copper coin was already gray, and he looked frustrated.
Yu Ruyan had the same concerns as him in her heart, after all, let Yan Fei give up being a young grandmother to live with a little girl, I was afraid that Chen's mother would not agree.
Thinking like this in her heart, she didn't dare to say it to fight the copper coin, so she had to comfort him and said: "Don't think so much, maybe there is something in her family recently, just wait for a while." ”
Hearing her words, Tong Qian's expression eased on his face, and he said embarrassedly: "Aren't you close to Yan Fei's family······ If her father and mother talk about us, can you say a few nice words for me? ”
Before he finished speaking, his face turned red.
Looking at his serious and persistent appearance, Yu Ruyan smiled knowingly and said with a smile: "Of course I will help you say good things, but the most important thing is that you have to be good to other people's daughters, you are good to Yan Fei, I believe that Chen Bo and Chen's mother will not object to you." ”
Hearing this, Tong Qian immediately regained his self-confidence, and grinned: "Don't worry, I will definitely be good to her." ”
While talking, a little girl walked into the courtyard, although she held an umbrella, she was still drenched most of the time, and when she saw Yu Ruyan, she hurriedly walked straight to her and said politely: "Girl, my master invites you to go!" ”
The little girl in front of her was from the Okra Courtyard, and Yu Ruyan didn't understand what An Lan was doing when she suddenly asked her to go to her yard, or was it such a rainy day? She thought of An Lan's insidious ruthlessness, and couldn't help but reject: "I don't know what your master asked me to do?" ”
The little girl timidly shrunk her shoulders and stood at the door, bowed her head and said, "The master just asked the slave maid to invite the girl over, and the other slaves and maids don't know anything." ”
Yu Ruyan continued to add firewood to the stove in annoyance, and had no intention of going. The little girl saw that she didn't go or leave, and stood in the rain in a daze, although she was holding an umbrella, she looked very pitiful.
She couldn't, stood up and sighed, asked Tong Qian to help her take care of the fresh soup in the pot, and reluctantly followed the little girl out of the door.
After being in the house for so long, this was the first time she had stepped into the gate of the okra courtyard.
Compared with the luxury of the Violet Temple, the Okra Courtyard is as simple and simple as its name, only to see that there are not too many decorations in the spacious courtyard, only a few lush apricot blossom trees, this season, the apricot blossoms bloom just right, the red and pink are like clouds, but the whole courtyard is lined with extra warm and quiet.
The rain didn't feel that it had stopped, and when Yu Ruyan walked into the yard, An Lan was picking up the apricot petals on the ground that had been knocked down by the rain with the girls, and put them into the dustpan to dry one by one.
Seeing her come in, An Lan's eyes flashed slightly, and she instructed the girl to put the dustpan down, and greeted her warmly and smiled at Yuru: "It's really hard to let my sister come over on a rainy day." With that, she affectionately pulled out a silk handkerchief and naturally helped her wipe the rain on her shoulders.
Yu Ruyan turned sideways to avoid the silk handkerchief in her hand, and said indifferently: "My aunt also took the time to call me over in her busy schedule, I don't know what to do?" ”
An Lan picked up the silk handkerchief and shook it twice, covered her mouth and smiled: "Sister is smiling, I'm just bored to pick up some apricot petals with the girls to make some gadgets, sister, don't laugh at my sister's little family." ”
Yu Ruyan's eyes swept lightly over her face, and said with a light smile: "Auntie is very smart, the most ordinary and inconspicuous residual flowers and fallen leaves in the eyes of others can be used by Auntie, this ingenuity is really rare!" ”
An Lan was slightly stunned when she heard this, her eyes flashed, and she couldn't help but show admiration: "Ordinary people will laugh at me for being childish when they see me like this, and they are reluctant to discard even a few fallen flowers. ”
She elongated the last note, and her words did not hide her praise and recognition of Yu Ruyan, but a cold light flashed in her plain eyes - such a smart opponent not only made her dare not underestimate, but also made her excited!
"It's just-" After a pause, An Lan's eyes fell on the beautiful face of Yuru Yan Jiaoyan who was better than the apricot blossoms in the court, her eyes darkened slightly, and she said with a smile: "My sister has both the appearance of a fallen city and the wisdom of others, and now she also has the supreme grace of His Royal Highness. ”
Yahuan served the tea, she personally picked up the teacup and sent it to Yu Ruyan, and said slowly: "With His Royal Highness's favor for you now, I am afraid that you will ask for the position of the concubine, and I am afraid that Your Highness will also give it." ”
The word "concubine" made Yu Ruyan's heart tremble, thinking that she had braved the scorching heat to come to make peace, and it was with the respect of Princess Heshuo to marry Mu Lingzhi as his wife, that is, the concubine of the palace, but later in vain, she became a military prostitute, risking her life to rescue the dowry girl who fell together, one is the guilt of their hearts, and the other is that they hope that they can let their father know that something happened to him after they go back, and hope that he will send someone to save him, but she waited for her father for so long, did not wait for a soldier and a soldier, and did not even have a voice of protest, she suddenly fell into despair——
Her relatives abandoned her as a useless outcast, and her husband, who had never met her, hated her inexplicably and shot her with a cold arrow without saying a word, and her life seemed to be completely dead.
It was not surprising that her father regarded her as an abandoned son, but why Mu Lingzhi, who met for the first time, hated her so much, but it was a mystery that had always haunted her.
She had heard him say before that he was going to marry a jade girl whose blood could cure all kinds of poisons in the rumored Qi Kingdom, but she stayed by his side for so long, and she didn't show the huge poison in his body, and the same was true for the people around him!
Of course she didn't dare to ask Mu Lingzhi these questions, and the copper coin usually babbled, but in this matter, she couldn't get anything out of his mouth, and her mouth was very tight. But now—
After a hundred turns of thought, she looked at An Lan in front of her, her eyes were clear, and she seemed to reply casually: "Auntie is really a slave." But in this case, my aunt can't say it anymore. ”
After speaking, her eyes darkened, and she continued with a disappointed expression: "I was just married to Daliang's dowry girl with the fifth princess, but then I met His Highness by chance, and I was lucky enough to get a little mercy from His Highness. But I heard that the five princesses who are close to each other are still alive, and if the princess comes back one day, I am afraid that the position of the princess of this palace will be returned to the original owner. Therefore, my aunt must not say such things again, not only will I be punished, but my aunt will also get into trouble······"
"Huh!" An Lan sneered out unconcerned when she heard this, she has always been cautious, but this time she didn't seem to be afraid at all, and said with a determined expression: "Regarding this, my sister can relax, your fifth princess, I'm afraid that I won't be able to step into the palace half a step in this life, let alone want to become the third princess!" ”
Hearing this, Yu Ruyan's whole body was cold, and she still said quietly on her face: "It's strange, my aunt has always been cautious, why is she so sure this time?" Listening to your tone, it seems that the five princesses of the dignified Qi Kingdom are not worthy of Your Royal Highness, why is this? ”
An Lan smiled coldly and said proudly: "His Royal Highness is a very assertive person, he has always refused to marry a wife and concubine casually, and in the end the concubine Niangniang couldn't, so he had to take advantage of his absence in the mansion to secretly marry the side concubine Niangniang and the two concubines Gu and Hua into the mansion, for this reason, His Royal Highness and the concubine Niangniang were angry for a long time. From this, it can be seen that it is not a matter of his willingness, especially in such a major matter as marrying a wife, no one can control him at will, including the current saint-"
"His Royal Highness has always been concerned about affection, and he has always wanted Mu Ziyue to be his concubine in his heart before, but then he suddenly volunteered to marry the five princesses of Qi because he heard a rumor, it is rumored that there is a magical jade girl in your princess of Qi, and the blood on her body can detoxify all kinds of poisons, so His Royal Highness will take the initiative to ask for peace, but then I didn't expect that the five princesses who married back are not jade girls, so of course His Highness will not take her to heart anymore, even if she is not dead, but after His Royal Highness shot that arrow, completely broke off the relationship between the two, but I am afraid that the two will not be able to renew their marriage in this life, and my sister has nothing to worry about. ”
"Jade girl? Detoxification? Yu Ruyan's heart shook, but her face looked ignorant, and after a while, she seemed to suddenly think of something, and her face changed drastically: "Could it be that His Highness has been poisoned?" In this way, is His Royal Highness still continuing to marry the jade girl of the Qi State to detoxify? ”
"Whoa." Looking at Yu Ruyan's panicked appearance, An Lan smiled slightly and said: "Sister, don't be afraid, it is not His Royal Highness who is poisoned, but the concubine Niangniang in the palace, Niangniang has three days of poison every month, and every time it hurts to death." His Royal Highness is filial piety and has been looking for ways to detoxify, so he took the initiative to make peace with Qi after hearing that the blood of a jade girl in Qi has it that can be detoxified. But after the last incident, the concubine and the emperor will no longer agree to His Royal Highness marrying the princess of Qi, and although the King of Qi is cowardly, he will probably not agree to marry his daughter to His Royal Highness again! ”
Yu Ruyan's heart was shocked, she never expected that the poisoned person was actually the concubine in the palace, once the doubts that plagued her heart were known, her heart swelled with mixed tastes, and all kinds of tastes came to her heart, and her eyes darkened unconsciously······
An Lan is right, there is a cold arrow between the fifth princess Yu Ruyan and Mu Lingzhi, and it is impossible to marry again in this life.
Fortunately, now she is Xiaoqing, a little maid in Qi Kingdom, but what if he knows his identity one day?!
Her heart instantly fell into a trough, and she asked An Lan casually: "My aunt called me here, but what do you have to order?" ”
Looking at her dejected appearance, An Lan's eyes flashed, and a terrible thought suddenly appeared in her heart, and as soon as the thought came out, she frightened herself-
How is it possible, how can the maidservant girl in front of her be the fifth princess of Qi Kingdom?
For the first time, she felt that her thoughts were too crazy, how could a lowly military prostitute be the noble princess Heshuo?
She couldn't help but think of all kinds of insults that Yu Ruyan had made to her after she entered the mansion, and even she couldn't bear that kind of humiliation, and it was even more impossible to bear it if she was a princess. Moreover, she will try her best to go back to Qi country, how can she willingly stay in the palace as a maidservant?
But if she was just a simple handmaiden, what about the Assassins? Her usual style is also too far from that of ordinary maidservants-
There were too many questions in her heart, An Lan's calm eyes lit up with a cold glow, she looked at Yu Ruyan in front of her fixedly and said: "My sister is by His Royal Highness's side, although she has no name yet, but in the end, she is the one who serves Your Highness, how can I, as the head of the house, wronged the girl, plus His Highness's Yunsong Courtyard is busy, and all the trivial things are taken care of by copper money, so I specially sent a girl to serve and help you, what do you think?" ”
Yu Ruyan was shocked when she heard this, and said coldly: "Thank you, aunt, for your love, it's just that the slave maid is just a subordinate, where is there someone to serve her, wouldn't it be a joke to spread it." I remember my aunt's intentions, but ·····"
Before she could say anything, An Lan waved her hand to stop her words, and said with a smile: "Sister, don't be in a hurry to refuse, I know that my sister is not such a pampered and arrogant person, she is modest and cautious. It's just that the person I sent to my sister is your good sister Yan Fei, if my sister doesn't want to accept her, and there is no place for her in other courtyards, I have to bear to let her go to the miscellaneous room. After that, his eyes swept lightly on her face, and he sighed: "It's just that she is young, with fine skin and tender meat, I don't know if she can endure this suffering!" Alas! ”
Yu Ruyan's heart froze and said coldly: "She stayed in the garden well, why did she suddenly arrange an errand for her?" How could she endure the drudgery of the handyman house at such a young age? ”
An Lan smoothed the head in her ear and smiled: "My sister doesn't know, every year in the spring, the house will count and arrange the idle maids, Yan Fei has been staying in the garden to help do some work because she is too young, but now she is not young, and there are only so many jobs in the garden, and it is not appropriate to let her gossip again, two days ago, Mother Liu reported the name of the adjusted girl, Yan Fei was sent to the miscellaneous room, I thought that she was your good sister, I wanted to take care of it, and let her go to Yunsong Courtyard with you to serve." But if you don't want to, I definitely won't force it. ”
Hearing this, Yu Ruyan couldn't help but ponder, no wonder Tong Qian said that Yan Fei didn't want to see her recently, and she felt uncomfortable knowing that she was going to be sent to the miscellaneous room, if she could let Yan Fei enter Yunsong Courtyard, not only could she avoid the pain of going to the miscellaneous room, but also let her meet with Tong Qian every day, and her feelings for them were also good, and it could be regarded as repaying Uncle Chen Chen's kindness.
But An Lan suddenly treated her so kindly and took the initiative to help her, which made her very suspicious.
Looking at the woman with a gentle expression in front of her, Yu Ruyan asked straight to the point: "Why is my aunt suddenly so good?" This is not like what my aunt has always done. ”
She knows very well that people like An Lan have never been profitable, not to mention that she has no kindness to her, and she can even be said to be an enemy!
An Lan smiled slightly, didn't care about her questioning her, stepped forward to hold her hand and said word by word: "What did you say to your sister in the garden snow night, does my sister still remember?" The wind is high and the road is dangerous, it is better for the two to be accompanied by one than to travel alone, such a simple truth, my sister should understand. ”
This time, Yu Ruyan did not immediately reject her, but asked, "Why did my aunt choose me?" I'm just a little handmaid and it's hard to protect myself, what can I do? Isn't my aunt afraid that I will be a drag on you? ”
An Lan smiled heartily and said: "My sister can't be presumptuous, my sister Bingxue is smart, courageous, and even more different from ordinary people, I like this kind of partner the most!" ”
Seeing Yu Ruyan leave, An Lan frowned and bowed her head silently, and Yuan'er said softly on the side: "Master, you already have her handle in your hands, why do you want to form an alliance with her?" ”
An Lan seemed to be tired, closed her eyes and said slowly: "There will never be a day when there will be a true trust alliance between me and her. I mentioned it to her today, just to find a motive for Yan Fei's girl to enter Yunsong, so that she mistakenly thought that I wanted to form an alliance with her and show favor to her, hmph, whether she believes it or not, when Yan Fei's girl enters Yunsong Courtyard and climbs into His Highness's bed, I think this blow is enough for her to eat a pot. ”
After a while, she opened her eyes again, her cold eyes were unusually cold, looking at the flowers above her head, and sneered: "The cold winter has passed and spring is coming, and the palace should be lively and lively. ”
Leaving the Okra Courtyard, Yu Ruyan wanted to go back to Yunsong Courtyard directly, but after thinking about it, she turned around and went to the garden.
She was going to find Uncle Chen to inquire about the identity of the knife!
Since the last search incident, Yu Ruyan sensitively felt that Uncle Chen and Xiaodao must have known each other, and had a great relationship, but afterwards she also asked Uncle Chen about the identity of Guan Tiandao, but he kept avoiding it at the time and didn't mention a word, but Yu Ruyan didn't give up, she wanted to help Xiaodao get back her memory and find her identity-
Three years ago, she had a hard time leaving the palace to attend the wedding banquet of her little aunt and the youngest sister of her father, Princess Yuming, and got lost in the princess's mansion and walked to the back door.
Of course, he was not called Jade Knife at that time, he forgot what his name was, how old he was, and where he came from, he just stubbornly guarded the roast chicken in his hand, and did not let go no matter how others beat and scolded, and his fierce and cruel eyes were like a sharp knife, so after she rescued him, she named him Jade Knife.
The jade knife was scarred all over his body, and the injured place was bleeding and suppurating, which was very pitiful, and he didn't know anything except the saber he was carrying. After saving him, Yu Ruyan gave him money and asked him not to want it, but was only willing to follow her all the time like a tail. There was no way, she had to find Yahuan's costume for her to wear, but fortunately he was good-looking, and others did not suspect him if he pretended to be a palace maid and followed her into the palace.
Three years ago, Yu Xiaodao was still a child, but I didn't expect that not long after entering the palace, his figure sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and in less than half a year, he grew into a man's body, and the palace maid's clothes were too small to change once a month, and he gradually became bolder, and finally during a visit to the garden, he was found to be a man.
The five princesses, who have always been the most neglected, actually raised male pets in the harem privately! This news exploded in the harem, which was already lively, and the king of Qi was furious, and his first reaction was to cut off the head of the jade knife, but Yu Ruyan desperately stopped him, and in the end, I don't know why, the king of Qi actually obeyed Yu Ruyan's words for the first time, let him live, and continued to keep him by Yu Ruyan's side with one eye closed.
For three years, Xiaodao has been inseparable from her, although she looks happy and carefree all day long, but Yu Ruyan knows that he also wants to know his past in his heart, knows who he is, what is his name, and where does he come from?
So now that clues have emerged from Uncle Chen, how can she not be excited?
