Cold sweat trickled out from the roots of his hair, Ni Duruo curled up his hands, shivering in his heart, he really had to see it? Still is...... Just a temptation?!

His face was cold, and he slammed the wine bottle on several cases, making an infiltrating sound, as if all around him were frightened by his deterrent, and even the sound of the wind outside the window was extremely harsh, just when Ni Duruo was almost suffocated, he suddenly reached out to hold her hand, and an unpredictable smile appeared on his face: "It seems that Wan'er really forgot." ”

His palms were moist and cold, like a cold little snake burrowing into his skin, with the fear of cold hair standing on end. Ni Duruo looked at him worriedly, his voice was full of guilt, "The concubine has amnesia, it is inevitable that there will be negligence and inconsiderate considerations, and I hope that the husband will understand." ”

At this moment, his heart was conflicted, feeling that she was not the real Ni Duruo, but he felt that if she was the person installed by the crown prince or the second child, then she would not help the sixth child.

Her intelligence and resourcefulness made his heart move, just like the sixth said, if she could be used by him......

After being silent at this point, Xiao Jingyun smiled in confusion: "This king is really drunk." ”

Ni Duruo opened the teacup when he heard this, his eyes only stared at the tea that was slowly falling, and handed it to him: "That husband has a sip of tea and relieved the bar!" ”

"I forgot to tell you, the queen mother announced that we will enter the palace tomorrow, you can prepare." Xiao Jingyun's eyes locked on the woman in front of him, not letting go of any slight change in her face.

"The concubine knows." Ni Du Ruoqiang replied calmly.

After another sip of tea, he pretended to be drunk and left the room, while Ni Duruo sat in place like a clay sculpture and wood carving, thinking repeatedly, he knew that she was not Ni Duruo, but he didn't continue to ask the bottom line, what did he mean by this? Is it to avoid startling the snake? Have you secretly made a decision in your heart and are ready to find an opportunity to get rid of yourself?

Seeing her like this, Zhiluo couldn't help but call a few times: "Miss? Miss? ”

Coming back to his senses in shock, Ni Duruo had an ominous premonition in his heart, and suddenly got up to change his clothes, wrapping all the gold and silver that he could hold in his baggage.

Zhiluo was frightened by her, and asked again and again in a panic, "What is Miss doing here?!" Miss? What happened? ”

Ni Duruo tied up the burden in a panic, took her hand and rushed out: "Hurry up...... Let's get out of here! ”

"Run? Why run away? Zhiluo asked behind her in horror.

Ni Duruo didn't pay attention, and rushed out regardless of it, and the cool breeze in the night rushed towards her, as if waking up her consciousness, and suddenly stopped.

Why should I run away, everything I do is for Xiao Jingyun's sake, and he is so smart, how can he not see it?!

In the past, he didn't take me seriously, it was because Ni Duruo in his eyes was a weak and inaccessible young lady, but now I am no longer the original Ni Duruo, and he can still help him at a critical moment, so he began to test again and again, the real purpose may not be that he cares who I am, but is worried about whether he can trust me.

Yes, in his mind, I should be more useful to him now.

The courtyard was silent, and the treacherous moonlight reflected her eyes with dark lines, and she took a deep breath and turned to walk towards the wing.

With his identity and means, where can I escape?

"Miss, what's wrong with you?" Zhiluo was really puzzled, and she couldn't see through her thoughts.

Ni Duruo hesitated and ordered: "Go and prepare for entering the palace tomorrow morning!" ”

It's like this, what she has to do is not to escape, but to gain his trust, which is the most important thing at the moment!

The next morning, the blue sunlight leaked through the shade of the trees, and occasionally a few small birds leisurely combed their feathers on the branches.

Ni Duruo sat in front of the dresser, looked at Zhiluo behind him who was combing her hair through the bronze mirror, and asked after half a sound, "Have you seen the queen?" ”

Zhiluo smiled and said, "Miss, I'm just a girl, how can I be qualified to meet the queen!" She added: "But today's blessing for Miss Tuo, entering the palace to see the true face of the queen." ”

Ni Duruo smiled lightly, but the expression on his face did not soften, and the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes, "You also enter the palace with us?" ”

Zhiluo nodded: "Your Highness came early and instructed me to take care of Miss." ”

Looking at the colorful brocade box on the dressing table, Ni Duruo suddenly smiled, "I'm afraid it's not to take care of it, but to be afraid that I'll cause trouble!" ”

"Why does Mademoiselle say that?" There was a trace of doubt in Zhiluo's eyes, and Ni Duruo said lightly, "It's nothing, he thought it very thoughtfully." ”

Picking a simple jade step, she handed it to Zhi Luo and said: "The queen's affairs, as long as you know, tell me everything whether it's true or not!" ”

Although Xiao Zimu mentioned some things to her that night, she was not detailed, she was a modern person who wanted to enter the palace to meet the queen, if she didn't figure out the situation, I was afraid that something would go wrong.

Zhiluo was stunned, patted her forehead, and almost forgot that she was not her own miss.

"What do you want to hear?"

Ni Duruo glanced at her: "You said before that Xiao Jingyun is the queen's own son, so how does the queen treat him?" Does he have any other brothers? ”

After hesitating, Zhiluo leaned into her ear: "There is also an elder brother, Xiao Chengjun, the eldest son of the emperor, who was named the king of the South China Sea at the age of thirteen, and his military achievements were great, but he ...... later Nope. ”

"Dead?" Ni Duruo was surprised, "What happened?" ”

Zhiluo whispered: "Because of the crime of treason and collaborating with the enemy, he was demoted to a concubine by the emperor and executed outside the city. Mademoiselle must not mention this. After the words fell, she said again, "There are also the Sixth Highnesses, he was originally born to Concubine Rou, but Concubine Rou Niangniang died when His Royal Highness was eight months old, and the emperor passed on His Royal Highness to the Queen Mother." ”

No wonder they have such a good relationship!

Ni Duruo thought about it and walked to the side of the bed and asked softly, "How is the emperor to the queen?" ”

took the palace clothes, and Zhiluo put them on for her, and said: "Now the most favored is the prince's biological mother, Zhuang Guifei." ”

The sentence asked by the answer clarified the situation in the palace, Ni Duruo already had a bottom in his heart, straightened out his clothes, and let Zhiluo help him out of the room.

———

In the nine-fold palace, the courtyard of Fengluan Palace is fragrant and fragrant, and the flowers are like brocade.

Xiao Jingyun didn't have any explanations and instructions along the way, and at this moment she was following him step by step down the steps and came to the queen.

Although she was nervous, she still raised her eyes curiously to look around, and at a glance she saw a noble woman sitting on a rosewood chair above the gazebo.

She wore a golden phoenix crown inlaid with rubies, and a red gold silk embroidered phoenix palace dress, and her posture was domineering and calm.

Xiao Jingyun bowed slightly, then walked to the queen and sat down, not paying attention to Ni Duruo.

Remembering Zhiluo's advice, Ni Duruo took a step forward and knelt on the ground to give a deep salute: "The son sees the queen mother, may the queen mother be safe." ”

Queen He Shunying rubbed the mutton fat jade in her hand, and the corners of her mouth were dyed with an almost invisible smile, "Get up." ”

"Thank you, Mother." Ni Duruo stood up respectfully.

He Shunying raised her eyes, looked directly at Ni Duruo, and asked, "Is your body better?" ”

Ni Duruo gently blessed a blessing: "Thank you for the care of the queen mother, the son has recovered." ”

"Even if you are cured, you have to be careful, and don't leave the root of the disease." He Shunying glanced at the teacup on the stone table while speaking, and before the maid could react, Ni Duruo had already quickly stepped forward, picked up the teacup, and handed it over: "Queen Mother, please use tea." ”

Seeing this, Xiao Jingyun's eyes narrowed slightly, and she didn't think she was still very clever!

He Shunying was satisfied with her jaw head, did not speak, took a few sips of tea, and then stretched out her hand to Ni Duruo and said, "Let's go with this palace!" She got up and glanced at Xiao Jingyun again: "You don't have to follow." ”

Xiao Jingyun smiled and tasted tea leisurely.

Beyond the lotus pond, the red maples in the courtyard have already turned red, and everywhere is as bright as a fiery red, and the leaves are blown down by the wind, piled up on the ground, and stepped on it softly and silently.

The two walked forward silently, the maids followed far behind, and Ni Duruo looked around vigilantly, in addition to a rampant red maple forest, there was also a brocade hibiscus in full bloom.

"Your father committed such a big crime, why didn't the emperor punish you and protect you to continue to be Yun'er's concubine. Do you have a number in mind? He Shunying chatted as if nothing had happened.

When Ni Duruo heard this, he immediately knelt down and said: "My father made a big mistake, and my son is ashamed, knowing that my father is thinking about His Royal Highness, so he will not offend his son, and he is very grateful to his father and mother for their tolerance and compassion, and will abide by his duty in the future, and always solve problems for His Royal Highness!" ”

She didn't know if she liked the queen's intentions, so she could only bury her head in the quiet air and wait for the queen to speak.

"Get up." He Shunying had a smile on her face, she didn't say anything about her words, walked slowly, stopped in front of the unusually bright brocade hibiscus, looked her up and down sideways, and said lightly: "You are dressed very elegantly now, which is very different from before." ”

Ni Duruo paused, and smiled hard to meet her sharp gaze: "Erchen is the daughter of a criminal minister, and he doesn't dare to be extravagant and public, so that His Highness will be embarrassed in front of his father." ”

He Shunying's eyebrows smiled slightly, not discerning emotions: "You did a good job." After the words fell, He Shunying glanced at the clusters of blooming hibiscus, her voice softened a lot, and said: "The brocade hibiscus that was planted not long ago is in full bloom these days. ”

Ni Duruo glanced at her line of sight, his brain was running rapidly, and he smiled lightly: "Although it is in full bloom, the flowering period is not long, and it is not worth mentioning at all in front of the peony that dominates the group." ”

Hearing this, He Shunying smiled indifferently, stepped forward an inch slowly, reached out and sniffed a brocade hibiscus, and sighed to herself: "It's not as delicate as ordinary flowers, and it looks pitiful when it is red and green at every turn." ”

vaguely guessing that the person she was referring to in her words was Concubine Zhuang, Ni Duruo only screamed in her heart for trouble, gritted her teeth, snatched the brocade hibiscus from He Shunying's hand and threw it on the ground, knelt down and said: "Queen Mother, this brocade hibiscus is unlucky." ”

At this time, Xiao Jingyun, who came quietly, saw this scene, slowly stopped, observed her expression with sharp eyes, and wanted to hear her explanation.

He Shunying raised her eyebrows, but she was not angry, and asked in a gentle tone, "Why do you say that?" ”

"After returning to the mother, this brocade hibiscus is particularly insect-friendly, like cinnabar leaf mites are very fond of surviving in its stamens, and this kind of leaf mites are not easy to be expelled, and in the end, the brocade hibiscus will wither and fall yellow." Fortunately, Lao He likes to plant some hibiscus flowers when she has nothing to do, otherwise she really wouldn't dare to risk her death.

"What do you say?!" He Shunying looked at her with a complicated expression.

Ni Duruo raised his eyes and smiled: "Just stay away, and you will end up fending for yourself." ”

She knew that the relationship between the queen and Concubine Zhuang was definitely not good, but she didn't know how bad it was and what kind of fight it was like, and now she could only imply that she had nothing to do with Concubine Zhuang.

He Shunying smiled, but did not respond, and instead saw Xiao Jingyun, closed his eyes slightly, and then said: "I am going to the Qin Mansion for a banquet tomorrow, so you should go back and prepare early!" Your father is very important. ”

In the event of an amnesty, Ni Duruo hurriedly made a big salute, and was about to leave with Xiao Jingyun, when he heard the maid preaching: "Concubine Zhuang Niangniang has arrived!" ”
