However, Linglong mysteriously approached and said something in Lan Xin's ear, Lan Xin's eyebrows were happy, and she said with some suspicion: "Is this matter serious?" ”

Linglong's smile became stronger and stronger, and she whispered: "Don't worry, the slave bought a little medicine boy in the Tai Hospital, and I thought I would be able to use it in the future, but I didn't want to get such a news." ”

Her expression was full of pride, Lan Xin straightened her carefully arranged sideburns, but she couldn't stop laughing, and sighed with some schadenfreude: "That's really a pity, it seems that in the future, who will sit in that seat is, it's not sure." ”

She subconsciously covered her abdomen, and her sharp eyes were full of ambition.

Half a month has passed in a flash, and the rain is not as diligent as before, and the days seem to be the clear pool after the rain, gradually restoring the tranquility, the autumn dew hall is already very different from when He Xi and others lived in, revealing some of the original momentum, but the decaying roof palace wall still has a cool meaning.

But He Xi is already very content, this time, as long as it is empty, she will carry the lamp to the secret passage to explore, the more she explores, the more frightened she is, this secret passage is winding, the fork in the road is very much, from the beginning of an hour back and forth, to the last half a day, He Xi still did not explore all the secret passage.

She knew that this was not in a hurry, and she could only improve the drawings of the secret passage every day, and this day Ruyi came back from the imperial dining room, her face was even more ugly, and she saw that only the ugly child was alone in the room, put the food box on the table, and sighed heavily: "The little master has not come back yet?" ”

Chou'er took a few steps to greet him and said, "Not yet, Ruyi, why do you look like this, but what did the people in the imperial dining room say?" ”

Ruyi shook his head with a bitter face and said, "I have always known that the people in this palace are used to praising high and low, but they are inevitably too much-"

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand to open the food box, and when she looked over, she saw that there was only a lone bowl in the center of the food box, and inside was porridge and rice with scarce rice grains. There was nothing else except this, and the ugly couldn't help frowning and said, "So these things?" ”

Ruyi sulked and said: "What did the steward of the imperial dining room say that I went late today, and the food sent to the palaces has been sent away, and this is left, if you don't want it, you will be hungry." ”

The more she talked, the more angry she became, thinking about the time when He Xi was favored and raised the eldest prince before, whether it was the imperial dining room or the internal affairs office, which one was not Baba's rush to flatter.

Chou'er followed He Xi in the palace before, and naturally she was used to seeing the hot and cold world, she turned around and returned to the cabinet on the side, took out two white porcelain bowls, poured the porridge into the two white porcelain bowls at once, and poured it back again.

Ruyi looked at the ugly child's movements with some puzzlement, and the ugly child sighed and said: "You don't have to tell the little master about this matter, we can eat some grievances, and the little master should not bear it." ”

There is another sentence she didn't say, that is, He Xi has suffered too many grievances, and the ugly child has cursed the injustice of fate in her heart more than once, why people who have done all the evil things have always been beautiful, and those who are bright and upright have to suffer a lot.

Just thinking about it, he heard a noise behind him, and knew that He Xi was back, so he turned around with Ruyi, and gave Ruyi another look, signaling Ruyi to restrain the anger on his face.

Ruyi couldn't restrain herself for a while, and was afraid that He Xi would see it, so she could only lower her face, lean over slightly and salute: "The little master is back." ”

He Xi changed out of the soaked embroidered shoes and looked at the food box on the desk.

Chou'er hurriedly stepped forward to support He Xi, helped her change into clean embroidered shoes, and said like a nobody: "Why did the little master come back a little late today, Ruyi and I couldn't help but be hungry, so we ate first." ”

Ruyi heard Chou'er say this, and this time he learned about Chou'er's behavior, and he also took a deep breath, squeezed out an embarrassed smile, and said softly: "Little master, don't blame the two of us." ”

He Xi said with a smile: "It's also strange that I want to explore the road more today, and I have delayed the hour, if there is still such a situation in the future, you will eat first, and you don't have to wait for me to come back." ”

Saying that, she got up and washed up briefly, and then sat in front of the desk, and when she looked at the contents of the food box, she couldn't help but be stunned, there was only a bowl of clear porridge that was about to see the bottom in the food box, and there were two bowls on the table next to it, although it seemed to be used, but there were still some rice grains on the wall of the bowl.

He Xi's eyes sank slightly, and he was even more silent, picking up the porridge in the food box and eating it in small bites.

Chou'er was relieved to see that He Xi drank all the porridge. Ruyi suddenly said: "Little master, the slave heard something on the way to the imperial dining room today. ”

He Xi raised his eyes, and said with a pair of beautiful eyes: "What is the matter?" ”

Ruyi forced himself not to look at the porridge in He Xi's hand, and said in a deep voice: "It seems that there is something big in the palace recently, they are all panicking, looking at the direction of the internal affairs house, there are palace people in each palace, only the slave maid sees, Weiyang Palace, Luhua Palace, Bingquan Palace, and even the Chu Xiu Palace of Bai Cairen seems to have gone to people." ”

Xu is Ruyi only cared about getting angry, and didn't talk about it with Chou'er, and now that he talks about it, Chou'er can't help but wonder. She crossed her fingers and calculated: "At this time, there are no big festivals in the palace, and there are still a few months before the Mid-Autumn Festival, what is it that makes such a big fight?" ”

He Xi frowned and pondered for a long time, but he couldn't understand it, and simply said: "That's it, it's none of our business left and right, by the way, Ruyi, is there any news from Shuzhong in the near future?" ”

She only felt that in the past half a month, the days were like thin water, long and long, and there was always something empty in her heart. It's as sad as if it's tightly holding a thin thread.

Ruyi shook his head and said: "The latest news is still transmitted back from before, saying that the flood has stopped, but there are many refugees, and the prince needs to stay for a while before he can return to Beijing." ”

He Xi had already finished eating the porridge, and the ugly child carefully put it away, He Xi said softly: "I see that in the past half a month, not a drop of rain has fallen, and the sun is very scorching, so there must be no more problems." ”

As long as it doesn't show up again, she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

If He Xi has nothing to ask anymore, he simply bowed and retreated, He Xi looked at Ruyi's back, sighed slightly, and turned around and asked Chou'er: "How is the investigation of Uncle Liang?" ”

Chou'er said in a low voice: "It's almost checked, now Rambo is in the army, although he is a small commander, but he has really been promoted through real military merits, without the slightest use of Lan Zhili's official authority." ”

He Xi combed the sideburns that fell on his chest with one hand, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that he doesn't have real skills, and having real skills is naturally the best, Lan Zhili only has such a son, so he naturally wants to really experience it." ”

Her eyes narrowed slightly, and the ugly child said again: "Moreover, Uncle Liang also found out that recently, Zhao Yancheng, the newly appointed Shangshu, has recently been very close to the Prime Minister's Mansion. ”

Zhao Yancheng He Xi naturally knew, she had led the Jiang family to see him in the Imperial Garden before, He Xi only felt that this matter had become more interesting, and she commanded softly: "Let Liang Bo keep an eye on it, for the time being, you need to grasp their dynamics, everything is just waiting for the follow-up order, and let Liang Bo be careful at this time, don't let He Qing notice." ”

The ugly child nodded and went down to deliver the news.

He Xi sat in front of the desk, dragging his cheeks, watching the sunset outside the window reflect half of the sky red, like the bride's delicate red hijab, which is very good-looking.

At night, Chou'er and Ruyi lay on the bed, Ruyi covered her gurgling stomach and said, "Chou'er, are you hungry?" ”

Chou'er smiled and said, "What, are you hungry?" ”

Ruyi flattened her mouth a little aggrieved and said: "I haven't eaten all day today, the more I think about it, the more angry I become, those people in the imperial dining room are really too much." ”

The ugly child turned to the side, faced Ruyi and said, "You, if you have the strength to be angry, you might as well go to sleep quickly, and you won't be hungry when you fall asleep." Where can Ruyi sleep, she lay on the bed and tossed and turned, she couldn't bear it anymore, sat up, picked up the kettle from the table next to her, and drank half a pot of water, only then did she feel a little more comfortable in her stomach.

The ugly child held back a smile and said, "Ruyi, you--are different from what I imagined." ”

Ruyi put the pot of water on the table, turned over and went back to the bed, and asked suspiciously, "What's different?" ”

The ugly girl half closed her eyes, the silver mask shone slightly silver in the moonlight, and her voice was a little low: "I thought that you were the person next to the prince, and you were personally selected by Miss Xiao Nai, you would-"

"Will you be dedicated to Miss Xiao Nai and the prince, and dictate to you and the little master?" Ruyi propped up his body with one hand and said. was suddenly pierced by Ruyi, and the ugly child was a little embarrassed, but when he saw Ruyi so open, he also nodded.

After thinking for a moment, he said seriously: "At the beginning, I did have contempt for the little master, and I always felt that the little master was no different from us, but the chess pieces were used in different places, but then I gradually understood that even if it is a chess piece, there is also an identity, and the little master acts in the harem, not without hardship and danger, and is full of dangers. If I am still an ignorant person, and I will disrupt the plan at that time, the prince will definitely not be able to spare me. ”

Saying that, she also playfully stuck out her tongue, looking innocent and lively, and the ugly looked at her and felt a little envious in her heart.
