There was no candle flame in the dim room, and the half-open curtains let in the light of the remnant sun outside, Yu Ruyan had been sleeping in a daze, and her dreams were full of terrible nightmares······

Countless cold sweats broke out on her forehead, and she tensed her body in fear, and her hands clenched into fists.

Someone pulled away her clenched hand and let her relax. Someone took a silk handkerchief and carefully wiped the sweat rolling down her forehead.

There was a crying sound in her ears, Yu Ruyan was full of pinprick pain, her head seemed to be trampled by thousands of horses, chaotic, and now she was stirred by the crying in her ears, she had a splitting headache, and couldn't help but hum softly.

"Finally awake!"

Yu Ruyan slowly opened her eyes and saw the knife guarding the bedside, and the latter was looking at her with a happy face, and Brother An, who was crying beside her, was the one who cried so much that she couldn't sleep restlessly, and when she woke up at this moment, she happily wiped the tears on her face, and said repeatedly: "Great, my sister finally woke up with fever!" ”

After being taken away from the palace by the knife, Yu Ruyan fell seriously ill, and the high fever did not go away for three days······

A pair of slightly cold hands put on her pulse, Yu Ruyan struggled to raise her eyes, under the dim light, a pair of clear and warm eyes were looking at her with pity, and Wen Yan said: "The pulse is stable, but I still have to rest in bed, and I have to continue to drink the medicine!" ”

Yu Ruyan looked at him in a daze, as if in a dream-

The person in front of him was Yue Yu, who had not been seen for a long time and had no news.

After looking at him in a daze for a long time, her hand was suddenly withdrawn from Yue Yu's hand, thinking of the arsenic in Gu Qing'er's antidote, her heart suddenly became cold, and she looked at Yue Yu with a more indistinguishable and indifferent expression.

Fortunately, the light in the room was dim, and Yue Yu didn't notice that there was something wrong with her expression, and turned around to go to the table to re-prescribe medicine to her. Yu Ruyan sat up with difficulty, her eyes swept around the house, and now it was not in the small courtyard where Brother An lived, she couldn't help asking, "Where is this?" ”

Xiaodao said: "This is another house I rented. ”

After that, he said with a rather angry expression: "If it weren't for the fact that the city gate was only allowed to enter and not go to the city gate these days, I would have wanted to take you out of here a long time ago." ”

"She's so sick that she can't get there." Yue Yu said coolly on the side.

Xiaodao was in a hurry to take her away, he was worried that Mu Lingzhi would come to entangle Yu Ruyan again, so he didn't even return to Brother An's residence, and took her to hide in such a hidden place.

Of course, Yu Ruyan understood what he was thinking, and he couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart, he was the one who kept his promise the most, and the farewell book had already been written, how could he entangle her again?

Thinking of this, her hand involuntarily touched the farewell letter he wrote to herself, and when her hand touched the thin piece of paper, her heart throbbed, and her face darkened a little.

At the same time of heartache, she couldn't help but worry, she followed the knife away, what was he going to do? How is he going to deal with the angry King of Liang?

Yue Yu prescribed medicine, Xiaodao went out to get medicine with a medicine list, and Brother An also went to the kitchen to cook porridge for her, leaving only Yu Ruyan and Yue Yu in the house. Seeing that her face was not good, he walked to the bed and reached out to probe her forehead, but she avoided it.

When his hands were empty, Yue Yu's pale face showed a little embarrassment, and after a while, he smiled self-deprecatingly: "Looking at your current appearance, it is estimated that you are almost complete!" ”

"Did you put the arsenic in the antidote?" The question that had been haunting her heart couldn't help but blurt out, Gu Qing'er's violent death was the fuse of her break with Mu Lingzhi, and it was also a mystery that she couldn't solve in her heart, and now when she saw him, she couldn't help but ask the first thing she said.

Although the light in the room was dim, she still tried to read the description on his face, watching intently, without blinking, for fear of missing the look on his face.

"It's not me!"

Yue Yu's clear eyes were as clean and innocent as a child, and he smiled slowly at her suspicion: "If I did it, I will definitely admit it." ”

With that, he smiled at her and leaned over to pack up the medicine box, not taking her suspicions to heart at all.

His eyes and expressions were extremely calm and fearless, pure and inexplicably believing his words. Yu Ruyan breathed a sigh of relief in her heart-

Yes, he is the most upright person she knows, he didn't hide anything about the last time he smelled the incense, if he really did it, he must admit it.

Thankfully, he didn't disappoint her!

She knew that he would not do anything to the next pregnant woman she had never met.

But if it weren't for him, who was the one who poisoned him?

As soon as she thought of this, her head began to hurt like pins and needles again, her brows couldn't help frowning tightly, Yue Yu's mind was clear, but she understood what she was thinking at a glance, and couldn't help sighing: "Now that you are no longer from the palace, why bother thinking about those people and things that you don't want to do!" ”

Yu Ruyan's heart stagnated, and her heart couldn't help but cramp, her mind was full of the pain and hatred on his face when he duel with Mu Ling that day, so many misunderstandings and coincidences made up, as if a sharp blade slashed her and Mu Lingzhi from it, cleanly, without a trace of stay and regret!

Although she also knew that Yue Yu was right, the more bitter and uncomfortable her heart became, her heart was suffocated, and her face was ugly.

Seeing her like this, Yue Yu lit a soothing incense in the house, looked at the cigarette that was rising, his expression was covered with a trace of loneliness and pity, and murmured: "Time is a good medicine to heal pain, after a long time, no matter how much pain will dissipate with time, it's just that the process is ...... More painful! ”

It was completely dark, Brother An boiled white porridge and brought it in to feed Yu Ruyan, and the knife also came back from buying medicine outside, and said happily: "I just went out to inquire, the city gate will resume traffic from tomorrow, let's leave early tomorrow morning and go back to Qi country." ”

Yue Yu's expression moved slightly when she heard this, and she unconsciously looked at Yu Ruyan, and sure enough, her face showed a look of hesitation and worry.

He knew what she was worried about, and couldn't help but say casually: "I heard that March 18, seven days later, is the happy day for the ninth princess and the son of the Mu family to get married, it is estimated that for this matter, King Liang will agree to temporarily let go of the assassin and restore the passage of the city gate." I heard that this time the ninth princess will marry the prime minister's mansion will be a rare grand occasion in the eastern capital, and many outsiders have come to see the excitement, why don't you stay and watch the excitement before leaving? ”

Yu Ruyan's eyebrows moved, and when she turned her head to see the unconcealable sadness on Brother An's face, her eyes were cold, and she couldn't help nodding her head in agreement.

The knife snorted unhappily!

After Yue Yu left, Brother An packed up the dishes and chopsticks and went to the kitchen, Yu Ruyan pulled the knife in front of him and asked, "Why did you meet Yue Gongzi again?" ”

Xiaodao remembered her previous danger and was still afraid, and said: "You are very sick, I carried you around to seek medical treatment, but no doctor was willing to keep you, so I thought about trying my luck, so I went to Wuwei Medical Center to have a look, but I didn't expect Brother Yue to come back." Fortunately, with him, my sister saved her life! ”

After speaking, he remembered something, and continued: "Brother Yue was going to take us to live in his house, but I was afraid that my sister would not agree, so I politely refused him. I think the conditions here are poor, but ...... But at ease. ”

Yu Ruyan smiled knowingly, although the knife was very aggressive on weekdays, but he was cautious in some aspects, he didn't want to go to Yuefu, in the final analysis, he was afraid that Yue Yu would know the identities of the three of them!

She touched his head and praised: "The knife is getting smarter and more capable, this matter is well done, we owe too much to Yue Gongzi, it's really inconvenient to trouble him again!" ”

What's more, she was afraid that because of the assassin, she would drag down the Yue family!

Xiaodao's eyebrows raised happily when she got her praise, but Yu Ruyan remembered what Yue Yu said just now, and couldn't help frowning: "There are still seven days and nine princesses are about to marry Mu Ziyang, is there any news from Su Niang?" ”

Hearing her ask, the knife patted his head and said in annoyance: "Oh, I forgot the most important things, don't worry, Su Niang told me a few days ago that Mu Ziyang has already started to do it, wait, in the next two days, his ugly things will be exposed, and he will not be able to be this colt!" ”

"What about Su Niang? Can you secretly pick her up and take her out of the house to take her out of the Eastern Capital as pre-arranged? ”

"This ...... It was planned, but I've been busy these days...... It doesn't matter, I'll arrange for her to leave the house in two days. ”

Yu Ruyan's heart sank, knowing that his illness had delayed the knife, and he didn't want to say anything, but he just told him to be careful and not to let people show up.

Although they didn't go to Yue's house to live, Yue Yu came to see them every day, carefully saw Yu Ruyan every day, arranged different medicinal diets for her to eat, and within three days, she was in good health.

Since hearing that Mu Ziyang was going to marry the princess, Brother An often secretly cried alone, and was exposed to her by Yuruyan, she asked her worriedly if she still remembered that negative man in her heart?

Brother An shook his head and said sadly: "I don't still remember him in my heart, on the contrary, I have hated him so much, if he was willing to say a word for me, I would not have been sold to Qin Xianglou by his mother, and the child in my womb would be ......" Before he finished speaking, Brother An hooked the sad thing in his heart, thinking of the innocent child who died in vain, her eyes became hateful, and tears flowed down like a lack of embankment!

Seeing that her young age was already full of vicissitudes on her face, Yu Ruyan hugged her heartily and comforted: "Don't worry, people are watching the sky, Mufu is doing bad things, there will always be a time to repay them, you can watch it!" "In the end, Yu Ruyan is already frosty!

On this day, after lunch, when Yu Ruyan was helping Brother An clean up the stove in the kitchen, Yue Yu came over, looking at her skillful and rough work, she was surprised, but her face was calm.

Seeing him come to the kitchen, Yu Ruyan put down the work in his hand and asked, "Childe, what is the matter with me?" ”

Yue Yu was about to speak, and when she saw that her beautiful nose was stained with pot ash, she couldn't help but laugh. Yu Ruyan looked at him with a puzzled face.

Yue Yu laughed and suddenly stretched out her hand to pull her to her eyes, she exclaimed, she didn't understand what was going on, Yue Yu had taken out the snow-white handkerchief on her body and gently covered her nose, wiped the dust on her nose for her, looked at her ignorant and frightened appearance, and smiled slightly: "You once said that you would repay my kindness, do you remember?" ”

His body was very close to her, the faint fragrance of herbs on his body was refreshing, and a pair of clear eyes looked at her closely, as if the brightest star in the sky had fallen in front of her eyes.

Suddenly panicked in her heart, she involuntarily took two steps back away from him, and said, "Of course I remember, when Gongzi tried his best to save Brother An, I am really grateful." Childe asked me to do something, I might as well say it directly, as long as I can do it, I will do my best! ”

Seeing her promise come down, Yue Yu's eyes flashed brightly, and he nodded: "Don't worry, I won't let you do anything embarrassing, just let the girl accompany me to an event, and I'll pick you up early tomorrow morning!" ”

Early in the morning of the second day, Yue Yu really came to pick her up early and brought her a set of crimson dresses. Yu Ruyan unfolded her dress and looked at it, her eyes were about to fall out-

Even though she was born in the royal family, although she didn't wear too many luxurious dresses, she had seen the luxury and delicacy of the eldest sister Jade Mingzhu's clothes, but no matter how good she had seen before, she couldn't match the dress in front of her.

The crimson dress is bright in color, the fabric is light and elegant, the gold thread is woven with a complicated style, the neckline, sleeves, and skirt are all gold thread piping, and the belt in the middle is inlaid with countless crystal and translucent pearls, and most importantly, thousands of pearls are exactly the same size, round and smooth, with soft pearls.

Yu Ruyan is fortunate to recognize this kind of pearl, it is a deep-sea shark pearl that can be worth a thousand gold, usually one is rare and rare, and now, she doesn't know how many inlays are on her dress.

It can be said that this dress is truly priceless!

Yu Ruyan was shocked in her heart, although she knew that Yue Yu was rich in the world, but his usual food, clothing, housing and transportation were no different from ordinary people, and there was nothing special about it, but she didn't expect that the set of dresses she gave her today was so luxurious!

Yu Ruyan didn't dare to wear such a good dress, but when she thought that she was accompanying Yue Yu to attend the event, it could be regarded as adding face to him, so she didn't shirk anymore.

After changing into a dress, he hadn't combed his bun yet, but he had already blinded Brother An's eyes.

Although Brother An has been serving by her side and is used to seeing her beauty, today she is even more gorgeous when she is lined with this scarlet dress!

Yu Ruyan herself has a gorgeous face, but she usually prefers plain dresses, and rarely wears such gorgeous and dazzling clothes.

Brother An exclaimed: "Princess, you are really a little more beautiful than the heavenly immortals, it's really ...... It's so pretty! ”

Yu Ruyan smiled shyly, after leaving the palace, this was the first time Brother An saw her smile, and immediately praised her even more happily: "The princess is really the most dazzling pearl, but it's a pity that the saint can't see the princess's good ......"

As soon as the words came out, Brother An realized that he had said the wrong thing again, and the saint in her mouth was of course Yu Ruyan's father, the King of Qi.

Hearing her words, Yuruyan's eyes dimmed slightly, and she smiled bitterly: "Don't think about those unhappy things in the past, I'm used to it since I was a child!" ”

Sitting in front of the dressing table, Brother An stepped forward to help her make up, and the wooden comb smoothed out her green silk one by one, and suddenly, Brother An let out a low cry, the movement in his hand was stagnant, and the comb almost fell off.

Brother An's tears came out for no reason. Seeing her suddenly like this, Yu Ruyan couldn't help but look back at her curiously, and said in a daze: "Okay, what's wrong with you?" But where is the body uncomfortable? With that, she took Brother An's hand and looked it up and down with an anxious expression.

"Princess...... My poor princess! Looking at the white that appeared on Yu Ruyan's head overnight, Brother An's heart was extremely painful, Yu Ruyan was only seventeen years old, but her green hair was already dyed white......

"Princess...... I'll help you pull it out for nothing! Brother An sniffed and began to pluck the white head that grew out of Yu Ruyan's head.

"Forget it!" Yu Ruyan looked at herself in the bronze mirror in a daze, and said with a bitter smile: "If it wants to grow, you can't pull it out." Do you want to pull me bald? ”

Brother An's tears came out again. Although Yu Ruyan has been quietly listening to Yue Yu's words and obediently resting and drinking medicine in the past few days, her heart is painful, from leaving the palace of Qi to now, she has endured all kinds of hardships and sufferings, and she would like to think that it is good to stay quietly by Mu Lingzhi's side as a maidservant, and to stay by the side of the person she loves, but I didn't expect that such a humble wish was shattered......

In order to appease Brother An, Yu Ruyan smiled indifferently, so she joked in embarrassment: "Now that your master has become like this, you have to find a way to comb me with a beautiful and hidden bun, but you can't let people see that I am a pulsatilla!" ”

Brother An wiped away his tears and choked up: "Slave obeys!" ”

Dressed up everything, Brother An accompanied Yu Ruyan out, and when Yue Yu, who was waiting for her at the door, saw her, her bright eyes lit up, and she smiled slightly: "Actually, red is very flattering to you!" ”

Until this time, Yu Ruyan appeared, Yue Yu, who has always only worn white clothes, actually changed into a dark brocade robe today, his face is handsome, usually he only thinks he is extremely elegant, and today he changed his clothes, and he is also extravagant, handsome!

Qingcha rarely saw his son-in-law in such a good mood as today, and couldn't help but look at Yu Ruyan a little pleasing to the eye, and couldn't help but praise: "Sure enough, the master has a good eye, crimson with Xuan, the master and the girl walk together, but it is twelve points right!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Yue Yu's slightly pale face couldn't help but be flushed, but Yu Ruyan's heart flashed with panic, with her current description, it is really a broken flower and a willow, where Yue Yu is worthy of the breeze and the moon, and he couldn't help but say with a sullen face: "Qingcha, don't talk nonsense, Gongzi is my benefactor, and I ...... Don't tarnish Childe's reputation! ”

Qingcha was said by her, her face was terrified, and she muttered in her heart, everyone understands the truth, but who let his master have a tendon, knowing that this Xiaoqing girl is already a member of the Third Highness, although she has been driven out now, but she is not innocent, she is worthy of the son, but who makes the son like it and doesn't care?

He sighed helplessly, bowed his head and said, "The little one remembers, don't dare to talk nonsense!" ”

When Yue Yu heard this, his face showed a hint of gloom, and he said lightly: "Come out, don't delay the hour!" ”

Brother An was also taken by Yu Ruyan, and the knife ran out early this morning, and there was no one to see, when Yue Yu asked, Yu Ruyan said that he had bought something back to Qi State.

The four of them took the carriage of Yuefu and rushed to the Moon Pavilion in the capital.

After half an hour's journey, I arrived at Mochizuki Pavilion. During the days when Yu Ruyan was in the Eastern Capital, although she did not have the opportunity to climb the tallest building in the Eastern Capital, she heard many people talk about it, and it was a famous place in the Eastern Capital and even Daliang.

Today, Yue Yu brought her here, she stood at the door and looked up at the majestic high-rise building in front of her, and her heart was amazed.

As soon as he walked to the door, the shopkeeper in the Moon Tower greeted him respectfully, and saluted Yue Yuzuo: "Master, everything is ready inside, just waiting for you to come." ”

Yu Ruyan was shocked, she didn't expect that this Moon Tower was also the family business of the Yue family!

Hearing the shopkeeper's words, Yue Yu nodded with satisfaction and said slowly: "How many people participated in the chess tournament this year?" ”

The shopkeeper smiled happily: "Since the head of the chess competition, more and more people are curious to inquire about the news of the master, this year I heard that the head of the house will personally participate in the competition, chess lovers from all over the world do not know how much, one by one waiting to see the style of the more master, the magnates of the eastern capital are a ...... not falling"

Hearing the words of the chess competition, Yu Ruyan's footsteps froze, and she suddenly remembered that today was March 15th, and Mu Lingzhi had told him before that he would take her to participate in this competition......

Yue Yu glanced at her pale face, stopped the shopkeeper's words, and ordered: "Serve every chess friend well, it's not easy to come from afar."

The shopkeeper nodded in response, and said cautiously: "In charge, even the crown prince and the third highness are here this year, do you want to ...... Do you want to leave the best private room upstairs for them? ”

The words 'Third Highness' made Yu Ruyan's whole body tremble, and the footsteps she had just stepped into the door were retracted, and she couldn't help but go back!

Yue Yu quietly took her hand, held it tightly in his hand, and said calmly to the shopkeeper: "Everyone is equal in the chess competition, and there is no need to treat them differently!" You go get busy. ”

The shopkeeper took the order and left, Yu Ruyan wanted to break free from Yue Yu's hand and go back, she trembled and said: "It turns out that this chess competition is actually organized by Gongzi, I don't know...... Childe, I want to go back first. ”

Yue Yu took her hand again and said word by word: "He is about to marry the princess, and you have nothing to do with him, what are you afraid of?" ”

"Childe ......"

"This is my territory, no one dares to do anything to you, don't worry, everything is with me!"

Yue Yu's words Yu Ruyan's heart warmed, but her eyes still flashed with hesitation, she was not afraid of what Mu Lingzhi was going to do to her, she really didn't have the courage to see Mu Lingzhi again!

Yue Yu looked at her panicked eyes steadily, a sour feeling flashed in her heart, and she said slowly: "If you want to let yourself go, let him let go, it's better to ......"

Yu Ruyan understood the meaning in her eyes, and her heart was suffocated, and her eyes inadvertently saw the exquisite carriage parked not far away, if you are not mistaken, it is the carriage of the Prime Minister's Mansion, how can such a lively occasion be missing Mu Ziyang, the eldest young master of the Mu family. His eyes were cold, and his expression was firm-

Yes, since you have decided to leave, then, before leaving, the love that should be broken, the debt that should be broken, let's make a break today!
