Zhao Ruxue came back to her senses suddenly, then put down the silver book in her hand, and sighed faintly: "The concubine doesn't know whether to talk about it or not." ”

While talking over and over again, he glanced at Tuoba Chen softly, his eyes were full of hesitation, and he persuaded in a whisper: "The little master can't ......."

The hesitation in Zhao Ruxue's eyes became deeper and deeper, and Da Tuoba Chen couldn't sleep when he saw the two of them like this, and said impatiently, "What the hell is going on!" Can't say anything to me? ”

Zhao Ruxue got up and left her seat, half-knelt on the ground and said softly: "Your Majesty, the concubine doesn't dare." The concubines have always been attached to His Majesty, but this matter is very important, and the concubines have no real evidence, if Your Majesty does not believe it, it is inevitable that the concubines will say right and wrong. ”

Tuoba Chen put down the silver book in his hand, and the sound of the silver book colliding with the dishes was crisp and pleasant, but at this time, it sounded like thunder exploding in Zhao Ruxue's heart.

Tuoba Chen's fingers counted the table on the desk, and then said: "Which is right and which is wrong, what is it, I will tell." ”

Zhao Ruxue saw Tuoba Chen like this, so she didn't dare to speak, but she knelt down happily and bowed to Tuoba Chen, and then said softly: "Your Majesty, our little master doesn't want to say it, slave maid, that is, today, the concubine followed the little master into the palace to greet the queen." When leaving Weiyang Palace, the little master wanted to come forward and ask how the little master was doing. But I saw that the little master of Concubine Xi hurriedly went to a palace where no one was in a hurry with her maidservant. ”

Zhao Ruxue's eyes were red, and she said softly as if she had been wronged: "The concubine thought that Concubine Xi was angry before giving birth to the concubine, but His Majesty punished her, and the concubine wanted to apologize, so she followed, but she didn't want to ...... Don't want to ......"

"Go on......" Tuoba Chen said coldly, Zhao Ruxue looked up and saw Tuoba Chen's cold eyes, which did not have her usual tenderness, they were full of cold looks, and layers of fine sweat were soaked in the back, and the fragrance on her body became more and more intense.

She didn't know whether this decision was right or wrong, but the matter had been done to this extent, so naturally there was no way back and reason to give up, so she had to bite the bullet and say: "The concubine followed, but the pace was not as fast as Sister Xi's, and when the concubine arrived, I only saw Sister Xi and a guard kissing me and me at the rockery......

"Bold!" Tuoba Chen slammed the table, and the original soup cup on the table was swept to the ground by him, and the juice splashed everywhere, and the hot soup splashed Zhao Ruxue and Yuexin.

Zhao Ruxue immediately burned a slight red on the back of her hand, but she gritted her teeth and held back, tears slid down her cheeks, she fell to the ground and said continuously: "Your Majesty is angry, the concubines know the palace rules well, and they don't dare to talk nonsense, Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can ask if you don't believe it." ”

Yuexin also knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, what the little master said is true, the slave maid saw it with her own eyes, and was discovered by Ruyi, when arguing with her, the slave maid accidentally pushed her, and her palm was scratched by gravel." ”

Yuexin saw Tuoba Chen's thoughtful appearance, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, even if the slave maid is lying, she can't lie about this matter, and besides, whether there is a wound or not, and how it was injured, the imperial doctor will know at a glance." ”

The corners of Tuoba Chen's mouth hooked up a sneer, and the smile was full of violence and cruelty: "How should I reward you for such a mouthful of words?" ”

A burst of joy welled up on Yuexin's face, it seemed that Tuoba Chen had believed most of it, but before Yuexin could speak, he was sent to hell by Tuoba Chen's next sentence.

"Fuqing, go to the Prudential Criminal Division with Yuexin, detain it for the time being, find out the truth afterwards, and then deal with it." Tuoba Chen said in a cold voice.

"Your Majesty, what the slave said is true, please let Your Majesty know it! Your Majesty-" Yuexin was a little panicked, what kind of place is the Punishment Division, there is almost no way to get out when you go in, and even if you come out, you will be tortured inhuman.

Zhao Ruxue's face was also pale, she didn't expect things to develop to this extent, there was a pleasant cry in her ears, but her mind was full of Tuoba Chen's cold gaze.

"Your Majesty, there is only Yuexin by the concubine's side, and you sent Yuexin away, what should I do with the concubine, please be kind to Your Majesty." Zhao Ruxue choked up.

Tuoba Chen was motionless, as if he hadn't heard it, Fuqing had already handed over a few little eunuchs to pull Yuexin, Yuexin was willing to be restrained, struggling and crying: "Your Majesty spare your life, the little master save me, the slave and maid don't want to go to the Punishment Division, little master, please save the slave and maid." ”

After all, it was the people who followed him, crying like this, Zhao Ruxue looked at Tuoba Chen beggingly, and then as if he had made up his mind, he struggled to get up and walked to Yuexin's side, and the little eunuch who escorted Yuexin on the side saw Zhao Ruxue coming, and he didn't dare to let go of Yuexin, but just relaxed the strength in his hand.

Zhao Ruxue stretched out her hand to touch Yuexin's cheek, and said with a distressed face: "Yuexin, don't worry, we are not lying, as long as the truth of the matter is ascertained, Your Majesty will give us justice, you know?" ”

Zhao Ruxue's eyes stared straight at Yuexin, as if hinting at something, Yuexin nodded with tears in her eyes.

As soon as Zhao Ruxue's body loosened, she sat on the ground and watched those people take Yuexin away. The cold white jade ground reflected her embarrassment at this time, a pair of bright yellow boots appeared in front of her eyes, Tuoba Chen reached out to help Zhao Ruxue up, took her into his arms, sniffed lightly on her neck and said: "Don't worry, concubine, I will find out, if I find out that someone has deceived me, you say that you are killed, how about hanging at the palace gate?" ”

Zhao Ruxue couldn't help but tremble slightly, and Tuoba Chen chuckled: "Is Concubine Ai afraid?" ”

"Concubine...... The concubine was just a little cold. The voice is obscure and hoarse, where is there still the beauty of weekdays. Tuoba Chen picked up Zhao Ruxue and walked towards the inner hall.

"Then I will help Concubine Ai to keep warm...... Fuqing looked at his nose and nose, and when he saw Tuoba Chen and Zhao Ruxue leaving, he asked the palace maids to clean up the mess in the hall in a low voice.

In the Hehuan Palace, He Xi asked the imperial doctor to come and clean and bandage Ruyi's wounds.

The imperial doctor advised: "The old minister prescribes some medicine to the little master, please change the medicine on time for the Ruyi girl, and try not to touch the water before she recovers to prevent infection." ”

When Ruyi heard this, he said in a hurry: "How can this be done?" The little master is still waiting for me to serve. ”

The imperial doctor smiled and didn't speak, He Xi shouted Ruyi softly, and then nodded to the imperial doctor with a smile: "I know, it's hard work." ”

After sending the imperial doctor away, Ruyi said disapprerovitically: "It's just a few small wounds, the little master doesn't care about it, the slave and maid are fine." ”

"You can recuperate with peace of mind, I have begged Your Majesty before, let the ugly child enter the palace, count the days, and it will be here in the next few days, and there will be no big delay."

He Xi handed the ointment in his hand to the little palace maid on the side to put it away, and took out the medicine that the emperor had rewarded him when he was injured before from his makeup, and said softly: "There is not much left of this medicine, just give it to you, use it, and it will be faster." ”

Seeing Ruyi standing in place, he naturally knows what Ruyi thinks in his heart.

He Xi didn't urge, just picked up the Biqing tea cup, gently scraped off the floating tea leaves on it with the lid of the cup, and took two sips.

"Little master, do you think that the slaves and maids are not well served?" Finally, Ruyi still asked, his voice was low, with some grievances and doubts.

He Xi chuckled and said: "Chou'er has followed me since I was a child, since you are a member of His Royal Highness King Xian, you naturally know my identity, and I really don't feel at ease when you put Chou'er outside the palace." If you are controlled by others, it will threaten the safety of the ugly child. ”

When He Xi said this, there was a hint of pampering in her eyes, in Ruyi's opinion, the ugly child seemed to be not her maidservant, but a relative, and she felt a wave of envy in her heart.

In their opinion, as long as their master does not beat and scold him at every turn, he is good to himself, where do they dare to expect to be treated as a relative by their master?

He Xi is also a good master, only at the beginning she reprimanded herself, and later she was soft to herself but not majestic.

Seeing Ruyi's thoughtful appearance, He Xi said softly: "Don't worry, the ugly child has an excellent temperament, and you will get along very well." ”

Ruyi felt a little sour in her heart, nodded sullenly, and retreated.

It's summer, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter.

There was still a damp breath in the air, the stuffy air made people's hearts start to panic, and He Xi's knees also faintly hurt, which was the root of the disease left before, and the moisture entered the body, which was even more unbearable.

At night, He Xi dreamed, and the dream was still the familiar scene, the familiar roar, the familiar sneer, but it was no longer the pain of the flames, but it seemed to be a chill.

In the dream, there was still a red dress, standing in front of him, as if guiding him in the direction of escape.

A thunderbolt exploded in the sky, and He Xi opened his eyes suddenly, just as he saw Ruyi closing the window.

Seeing that He Xi woke up, he hurriedly closed the two windows at hand, then walked to He Xi's side, took ginger tea and handed it to He Xi and said, "Little master, drink some, see that the weather is going to rain, the wind is a little cold, don't catch a cold." ”

He Xi took it and took a sip, the spicy taste of sweet ginger spread in her mouth, much more comfortable, He Xi rubbed her forehead, I don't know why she always had a bad premonition, as if something big was going to happen.

"Little master, it's still early, you better sleep a little longer." Ruyi helped Xiang Hexi to lie down, and pulled the brocade quilt again, and then retreated.

In the Xianwang Mansion, in the medicine house, Gao Yuan was not sleepy, before and after leaving, busy with something, Ryan was alarmed, yawned and walked out of the room next to him, rubbed his sleepy eyes and said, "Master, what are you doing." ”
