CHAPTER XIII

When I saw Azu, he was sitting crookedly on the damp ground, with a thin layer of grass on the ground.

He leaned against the wall and hung his head, his tattered coat written in large prison letters. His face and body were covered in blood, and his feet were covered in heavy chains.

I choked up as soon as I opened my mouth and shouted "Azu".

Azu slowly opened his eyes, with a slight look of surprise on his face, and hurriedly got up from the ground, and said in a weak tone, "Miss Su, nineteen young people, why are you here."

I looked at Azu, took two steps forward, and couldn't help but say earnestly, "Azu, you have suffered."

Azu held my hand, his body was trembling all the time, and he said with teary eyes, "Miss Su, I don't want to die, I really don't want to die, I was used by Zhao Yinlan."

Since the last time Azu refused to tell me the truth, and later broke the appointment with me, I felt that Ju'er's death must have something to do with Azu.

Sure enough, under my repeated questioning, Azu told me the ins and outs of the matter.

It's okay not to say it, but knowing it makes me even more heartbroken, it turns out that this incident is because of me.

Azu said that that day, he was unwell, his head was very heavy, his whole body was light and fluttering, and he had no strength.

I wanted to hide in the room to rest, but I was afraid that I would be seen gossiping.

He went out of the room, and turned right through the door, and saw a low, hollowed-out carved pavilion, from which there was a faint earthy aroma, and the sun's light shone on it and reflected off the hollow to the ground, leaving a speckled halo.

This is the cabin used to store grain in the White House, which is divided into two floors, and there are about four or five compartments.

After a pause, he suddenly had an idea, why not hide in the cabin to rest, no one will come over at this point.

He lay down and squinted for a while, when he heard someone push the door in, and he suddenly got up from the ground.

But I saw that Zhao Yinlan was wearing a gouache thin shirt covering her body, under her slender jade neck, a piece of chest like clotted white jade, and a bundle of dark purple streamers around her waist, full of vitality and charm.

Azu hurriedly shouted, Aunt Zhao. After that, I hurried to the door.

He was afraid that Zhao Yinlan would say that he was lazy, and he was afraid that Zhao Yinlan would go to Bai Zhanqi to sue him.

As the head of the guard at the gate, he should lead by example and be on duty for every shift, what is he doing here now.

More than half of his body went out of the door, and he was pulled by Zhao Yinlan.

Zhao Yinlan stared at Azu's eyes with a smile and asked Azu, if she was beautiful today, and if she looked good.

Azu's scalp was numb when she asked, and his head was about to fall to the ground, and he didn't dare to look at Zhao Yinlan.

Then Zhao Yinlan stepped forward and put her chest against Azu's head, and asked him again, am I beautiful?

Azu couldn't resist the temptation, blushing shyly, and also looked at Zhao Yinlan.

Zhao Yinlan chattered, and her body fell into Azu's arms.

When Azu said this, I was already in tears, and I blamed me for being careless.

Ju'er had mentioned this matter to me intermittently, when I was fighting crickets with Xuanxuan. I was in a trance when I heard it, so I didn't care, I didn't know that the man who was with Zhao Yinlan was Azu.

This happened four months ago, when I was digging out a packet of herbs from the cupboard, and when I opened it, it was unused crane grass.

When I was injured, Bai Xiaoqiu got it for me from somewhere, and I thought it was unpalatable, so I left it untouched.

This crane grass can not only detoxify and reduce swelling, astringent and stop bleeding, it also has another use, astringent intestines and diarrhea.

As soon as I thought about it, Mrs. Mu seemed to be feeling sick lately, so I wrapped the herb and prepared to bring it to Mrs. Mu.

I met Ju'er halfway through, and Ju'er told me that Mrs. Mu, the general, and Xuan Xuan went to the training ground together, just because Xuan Xuan suddenly wanted to learn to shoot.

Originally, I was going to wait for Mrs. Mu to come back, after all, a place like the training ground is not something that ordinary people can go to, and I am that ordinary person.

But Ju'er said that from the general to the maid in the hall, the Baifu has long regarded me as an indispensable part of the Baifu, just like my own family, I listened to it and felt very energetic, and then I thought about it or let Ju'er go alone.

Ju'er passed in front of the pavilion, and as she walked, she heard a sizzling sound from the pavilion, thinking that there were mice. Without much to say at the moment, Ju'er stepped forward to catch the mouse with her waist on her waist, and then saw that scene.

A woman is held in the arms of a tall, thin man, chattering coquettishly.

There is hardly any suspense.

Ju'er saw Zhao Yinlan and the man. Almost at the same time, Zhao Yinlan also saw Ju'er.

After Azu finished describing it to me, he hugged his head and cried.

kept beating herself, shouting "Miss Su, I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for Ju'er, I killed Ju'er."

I kept crying, and I couldn't say a word to scold him.

Zhao Yinlan did nothing wrong, and it was not just because Ju'er found out about her ugly things, but because she held a grudge against me.

It was still four months ago, when I was returning from talking in the hall with Mrs. Mu and Bai Qingyang, I walked forward from Xizhimen to a long corridor, and not far away, I saw two young women, one older and one young, walking towards me.

The one who walked in front of him folded his waist with a slight step, wearing a pink rose-scented tight-fitting balloon sleeve top, covered with an emerald green smoke yarn pomegranate skirt, and his sideburns hung low and slanted into jasper and phoenix hairpins, showing a slender and glamorous body.

Dingqing took a look, I recognized this young woman, her name was Zhao Yinlan, and she was the only concubine of the general.

Fundamentally speaking, this Zhao Yinlan was born with thick eyebrows and phoenix eyes, at first glance, it still looks very good, and she can be regarded as a beauty, but if you look at the facial features separately, but one is not as good as the other, how can it compare to Mrs. Mu's curved eyebrows and plump cheeks, noble and elegant.

"As soon as I saw you, I thought of goblins," was the first thing Zhao Yinlan said to me.

I glanced at her coldly, the corners of my mouth raised slightly, revealing a sly smile, and said, "It is said that goblins have a pair of hooking eyes, a light gait like a tanuki, graceful, you look at me, the eyelids are collapsing, the corners of the eyes are facing down, skinny, and there is a little goblin momentum on the body, far inferior to Aunt Zhao's aura."

Zhao Yinlan let out a cold snort from her nostrils, "Fairies are goblins, don't you admit it, it's not it, it's only been a few months since I came to Baifu, and a few men in the mansion were dizzy, and even the little miscellaneous pieces of Xuanqi followed you around, and the good agate chain was torn by him, and it was rolled everywhere." It was a birthday gift from the general. Mrs. Mu treats you as a treasure, and you are not as good as a rotten vegetable leaf in my place."

I have suffered so much hardship and hardship, and this is like a drop in the bucket, and Zhao Yinlan has nothing to provoke.

Thinking about it carefully, I have nothing to do with this Zhao Yinlan in private, why do I have so much hostility towards me.

Flicked my sleeves, I still smiled and said, "What you said is that I am like this rotten vegetable leaf, but rotten leaves are not useless, people who know it will put it in pig food, which is a delicious meal, and put it in the crop field, which is the best fertilizer, so that the crops in the coming year will be more abundant, and people will be clothed and fed, and the country and the people will be safe." The so-called not afraid of comparing goods, afraid of ignorance and ignorance".

"Who are you scolding for not knowing the goods", Zhao Yinlan was so angry that she couldn't speak.

I glanced around and said, "It's just the three of us here, could it be that I'm talking about her?" I gestured with my mouth to the maidservant behind her.

"What a bold man, dare to deliberately contradict me, don't you know who I am?"

I squinted my eyelids and pretended not to know, "May I ask which room you are from?"

At this time, the maidservant who was walking behind Zhao Yinlan hurriedly said, "This is Aunt Zhao."

I nodded with a smile and said, "I'm sorry, I thought it was the grandma of Baifu, the quality of sleep has been poor recently, and my eyes are getting worse and worse, I hope Aunt Zhao will forgive me."

Looking at it again, Zhao Yinlan was so angry that her hair was about to fly.

It's been a long time since I've been so happy to talk to people.,On weekdays, Xuanxuan always likes to mess with me.,But after all, he's a junior.,I'm an elder.,As his literate gentleman.,More or less have to let him.,Can't really come with him.。

This Zhao Yinlan is very different, today she broke ground on my Sophie Fei's head, how can I spare her.

After all, I have a lot of adults, I don't want to make things bigger, no matter how I say that she is also the general's concubine, don't look at the monk's face to see the Buddha's face, the general treats me well, so I think I will take a few steps to avoid entangled with her.

I didn't know that she didn't give up, picked up the hair on my forehead with her hand, and exclaimed, "Yo, what a flower in the Xishi Palace, what are you talking about, let me take a good look at your seductive cheapness."

I tilted my head, she came again, I blocked it with my hand, she slapped me in the face, without hesitation I slapped over, only to hear two snaps, a palm print on one face. She came again, and I pushed her hard onto the maid behind me. She twisted her body to continue the fight, but as soon as her arm was raised, she was violently thrown away.

Bai Xiaoqiu stood firmly behind him, his face was very ugly, "Zhao Yinlan, I don't care how you treat others on weekdays, but today you have to apologize to Mr. Su."

Zhao Yinlan suddenly stood up straight, spat at the ground, and sneered, "Yo, what a hero to save the beauty, fourth brother, open your eyes wide, this Mr. Su in front of you is not a good person." I, Zhao Yinlan, have read countless people, and I have never missed it. With an innocent face, all men in the world are willing to die for her, and such people are precisely the most vicious."

Bai Xiaoqiu's face turned pale in an instant, and he scolded, "Hurry up and apologize."

Zhao Yinlan trembled with anger, and bit her lip with a deep blood mark, "Mr. Su, I'm sorry."

The last twist disappeared at the end of the corridor.

Another time, Ju'er and I were playing on the rockery in the yard, when Zhao Yinlan was also there, when she passed by me, my foot hooked, she almost fell, and a box of hibiscus cakes in her hand snapped and fell into the water.

She told me to go down and pick it up, but I didn't go, and then Ju'er went, and threw it into the water, and when she picked it up, a box of hibiscus cakes was all soaked.

Just as he was about to fight with me, Ju'er was in the middle of the column and slapped herself in the face.

Zhao Yinlan pointed at Ju'er and said fiercely, "You two, wait for me."
