Chapter 166: Hand in Hand

"Where is he smart? If you were smart enough, you wouldn't have been deceived so badly, and you would never be able to get up again if you fell from the sky to the ground. Du Ruo said with a little sarcasm, "Actually, neither of us nor the couple has anyone to support anyone, but we are diligent and work together to live together." ”

Song Ju'an has a lot of benefits, but I don't know whether to classify this long-term affection as a benefit or a disadvantage.

When I think about it, I feel hateful and pitiful.

If it is for her, it is naturally worth rejoicing, if it is for others, Yin Huarong in front of him, it is really hateful.

He likes someone, always entrusts his affection, and refuses to let go of death, thinking of ways to make people like him. But if the other party can't reciprocate with the same affection, or even trick him into lying to him, he is really unlucky!

"Hand in hand and ...... together" Concubine Rou's fingertips trembled slightly, and she suddenly realized that the woman in front of her was a little different from what she imagined, not like an ordinary woman.

She looked at the red and bright charcoal fire burning in the center of the hall, and suddenly felt a little distracted, and for a while remembered many of the happiest days in her life.

The memories that flooded into her mind were like her previous life, far, far away, so far away that she felt very unreal, and she deeply doubted whether she had really experienced it.

She didn't know why she had come to this point, but every step was her choice.

Du Ruo saw her frowning and leaning on the floor, as if she was in deep thought, so she stopped talking.

She felt sorry for Song Ju'an, and naturally hated Concubine Rou and hated Concubine Rou, but at this point, everything has been turned upside down, and there is no need to say or do more.

After a long time, Concubine Rou came back to her senses from the glimpse of the light in front of her, a smile hooked on the corner of her mouth, and said softly: "That year, my father said that when Ah Yu passed the exam, he would let the two of us get married, and I even thought about what to embroider on the wedding dress." We are so good, so good that many people envy ......"

Du Ruo sat there quietly, listening to her.

In fact, she didn't want to hear how the two fell in love with each other at that time, she just wanted to know more about Song Ju'an's past and his past.

It doesn't matter if it's something to be happy about, or something that makes people worry about it.

Concubine Rou continued: "My father is very fond of him. At that time, Ah Yu Pian was a young man, polite and amiable, he lived in my house, we played together every day, read and read together, went to the city to enjoy the scenery, he played the flute and danced with me......"

"Ah Yu reads well, has quick thinking, and talks elegantly, and the gentlemen always praise him in front of his father. Among his classmates, he was also a standout, and his father said that he would definitely do great things in the future......"

"Ah Yu has such a good temper, no matter what I do, whether I cause trouble or make him angry, he will protect me and make me happy......"

Du Ruo listened very carefully, although Concubine Rou said three words that did not leave the matter between her and Song Ju'an.

Her chest was a little stuffy, her throat and eyes were also blocked, she pretended to be calm, she wanted to listen but didn't want to listen, and she didn't know why she had to abuse herself to attract anger.

Once a woman's heart is ruthless, it is really terrible.

Finally, Du Ruo couldn't help but sarcastically say: "So, just because he has a good temper and treats you in a thousand ways, you use him to help you climb up step by step in the harem and help you get rid of the thorns in your eyes?!" You took advantage of the fact that the second prince had just died, he was depressed and sad in his heart, and you told him that you were going to leave with him?! Arrange everything, so that the emperor can see his 'entanglement' and 'Xiao Xiang' with his own eyes?! At that time, you were the favorite concubine of the first emperor's heart, the first emperor was furious, all the guilt was added up, and he was imprisoned and exiled. Even on the way to exile, you still refused to let him go, and sent men to kill him several times! ”

Concubine Rou sneered and disagreed, "Since I entered the palace, I have become the concubine of the first emperor, it is his delusion, what does it have to do with me?" He can't let go, I can't let go, people always have to look forward. ”

"Then what are you still thinking about his good intentions?!" Du Ruo clenched his hand.

Concubine Rou fiddled with the bracelet on her wrist again, a trace of gloom appeared between her eyebrows, and she shook her head slowly: "There is no one in this world who is as good to me as he is...... You don't understand...... You don't understand ............" After a pause for a few seconds, she seemed to be caught up in her own thoughts again.

After a while, she remembered something again and said to Du Ruo: "Ah Yu likes to drink pear juice." When he first came to our house, he was not in good health and always coughed, so I mixed honey in pear juice for him to drink every day. ”

As she spoke, she raised her hand to signal to the palace maid on the other side who was standing motionless like a stump.

After a while, the palace maid brought a tray, on which were placed three small crystal bowls and a jade pot, and she poured a small bowl for Concubine Rou and Du Ruo successively, and then stepped aside.

"This is what I personally concocted, the amount of honey is just right, not greasy or light, you can taste it, and you can drink it according to the mixture in the future." Concubine Rou slowly sat up from the couch, stretched out her slender jade fingers and picked up a small bowl and brought it to her mouth to drink a few sips.

Du Ruo saw that she drank it, so she also picked up the crystal bowl on the side and looked at it, took a sip, and before she could swallow it, she suddenly remembered that the concubines in this palace tried their best to fight for favor, especially Concubine Rou, who laughed to the end, and easily couldn't believe it, even if she was at the end of her rope now.

So she pretended to cough, covered it with her sleeve, spit the pear juice in her mouth on her sleeve, looked up at Concubine Rou who was looking at her, and said, "I drink it a little sweet, if I put less honey, it should be much sweeter and tastier." ”

"Is it sweet?" Concubine Rou asked her with a faint expression, she took another sip and tasted it, and said to Du Ruo: "This sweetness is just right, Ah Yu should like it." ”

Du Ruo took another sip before putting down the bowl, and when he raised his sleeve to wipe the corner of his lips, he secretly spit on the sleeve.

"Ah Yu helped His Royal Highness the Fifth to sit on the dragon chair, His Royal Highness will definitely not treat him badly, and he can show his ambitions in the court in the future and make a difference." Concubine Rou had a smile on her face, "As far as I know, he is the only one who follows you, but which of the ministers in this court does not have three wives and four concubines?" What if he marries again? What will you do? ”

"He won't marry again. If I do marry again, I will leave. Du Ruo said without the slightest hesitation.

Concubine Rou smiled with disdain on her face, and lazily held her head, just looking at her like that.

Du Ruo felt that it was no longer interesting to continue, and was about to get up to leave, when he saw Song Ju'an hurriedly walking in from outside.

She stood up and was about to walk towards him, but she heard Concubine Rou happily shouting 'Ah Yu', and quickly walked down from it, ran towards Song Ju'an, ran to him, stretched out her hand and hugged him tightly.

"Twilight, you're finally willing to come and see me!" Concubine Rou said to him sadly.

Song Ju'an glanced at Du Ruo, then frowned again and looked at the woman who threw herself into his arms.

"Concubine Rou, please respect yourself, you have lost etiquette!" Song Ju'an said.

Concubine Rou raised her head and said to him with teary eyes: "Ah Yu, I regret not being at the beginning, can you forgive me?!" You get me out of here! You go and ask the emperor to spare me, you have made a great contribution, if you ask him, he will definitely agree to you! I want to live, I don't want to die! I'm still young! ”

Du Ruo stood still and looked at them expressionlessly.

"Please let me go first." Song Ju'an said.

Concubine Rou slowly let go of her clenched hand, looked at him in disbelief, her face was full of tears, she slowly shook her head and took a step back, crying: "Do you know that once you enter the palace, your life is not on your own, in this cannibalistic palace, if you are not careful, you will lose your life, you don't know how afraid I am!" Xiao Yu! You simply don't know! ”

"I can't help but climb up! I have to compete with people for favor! If I don't do anything, I'll just wait to be bullied! Every word I say and everything I do, I am stared at, and even the slightest mistake will be made a big fuss! I've seen some people killed! Souls wander in this palace...... I am cautious in this palace, every step is frightened, how many nightmares I have had, I can't sit still, I can only take the initiative to attack............"

"Twilight! It's all about them! If they don't provoke me, how can I hurt them?! ”

"Concubine Hui accidentally broke the Jade Buddha you sent, and you asked her to copy 500 volumes of scriptures in three days, she couldn't do it, you drove her crazy and cut off her hands, how cruel is it?" Song Ju'an asked her coldly.

"Am I cruel? Hahaha......" She laughed like crazy, and then said: "Yang Wei relied on Concubine Hui to be favored in the palace, so he bullied our family and killed my father!" How cruel is she?! Just chopping off her hands will inevitably cheapen her! ”

"The death of the emperor's mother is also related to you, right?" Song Ju'an asked again.

"Yes! I bought off the palace people around her to frame her, and since the new emperor has found out, I won't say anything! ”

Song Ju'an shook his head again and said, "There are still many concubines whose deaths are also inseparable from you. ”

Concubine Rou stepped forward again and grabbed his sleeve and refused to let go, tears flashed in her eyes, as if she was afraid that he would be ruthless to leave her like this, "I entered the palace not only to let the Yang family and Concubine Hui pay for their lives, but also for you!" I'm also thinking about your future and getting promoted as soon as possible! Xiao Yu, how can you bear to watch me die here?! ”

"My father is your uncle, teacher, my mother asked you to take care of me before she died! Twilight, don't leave me alone! I want to live! ”

Tears flowed down her cheeks, her eyes red from crying, and she clung to his sleeve.

"Huarong, you have made a lot of mistakes, and you can't go back." Song Ju'an's voice was as calm as possible, but he was still a little trembling.

Du Ruo stood there, looking at the two of them, and seemed to be able to see the shadow of a pair of lovers from them.

She knew Song Ju'an very well, and at this moment she could see a trace of unbearability and regret on his face, and he didn't seem to be able to say anything if she was too decisive.

He is too affectionate, let alone a woman.
