Ruan Yuheng's face turned pale and stiffened, Ruan Xiangjun took two steps and one step at a time, and hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to the emperor.

She was lucky to see the holy face again, her heart was pounding, and her chest couldn't trap it.

Ruan Yuheng's face was ugly: "Little master, is there anything wrong with you?" ”

Ruan Xiangjun was stunned, pulled the corners of his mouth, and said: "Why is my brother so unfamiliar with me, I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss you very much!" With that, she secretly glanced at the emperor's expression again.

The emperor paused, looked sideways at Ruan Yuheng, and said coldly: "Since it is rare for you brothers and sisters to meet, come back after speaking!" ”

Ruan Yuheng felt embarrassed, clasped his hands, and watched the emperor leave with a slight nod in his chin. Immediately, he lowered his eyes to look at her and reprimanded: "I have something to do when I enter the palace today, since you are already a nobleman, you still have to avoid seeing me!" You can't be so unruly in the future! ”

Ruan Xiangjun's eyes were hot, and he said aggrievedly: "Brother, why are you doing this?" The emperor didn't blame him! She frowned and sneered: "I have been in the palace for a few days, and I have never seen the emperor a few times, let alone sleeping in bed." My brother is the emperor's confidant, why can't he help me talk! ”

Ruan Yuheng raised his face, the corners of his mouth were slightly adjusted, and he was a little disdainful: "If you enter the palace, I am not qualified to meddle in your affairs, besides, how can I persuade the emperor to favor you?" ”

Ruan Xiangjun's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "What did my brother say, when the emperor was still the prince, he befriended you, and now he trusts you even more, if you can say a word for me, it is not impossible for the emperor to make me a concubine!" ”

Hearing these words, the anger on his face became a little heavier inexplicably, he lowered his eyebrows, and said word by word: "What you think is vain, if you want to use me to be favored, then I would rather not have your sister." I said you shouldn't have entered the palace, but you didn't listen. If you are ambitious and disgusted by the emperor, this harem is glazed and yellow, and there are thousands of pavilions, and there is no room for you! ”

After hearing this, there was a little coldness in her eyes, Ruan Yuheng choked so much that she couldn't speak, she knew that this harem courtyard was difficult, but she thought that with the power of the Ruan family and Ruan Yuheng's brother, she could make steady progress in the harem, and she also had a bit of a posture, and she was afraid that she would not be favored by the imperial concubine. Now Ruan Yuheng's words were cold inside, as if a thorn had been pricked in her heart, and she lowered her head: "If my brother is unwilling to help me, I will have a way!" ”

Ruan Yuheng hooked her lips and said bluntly: "You are so self-conscious, I will only ensure that you sleep in the harem!" He bowed slightly, turned and walked away.

Ruan Xiangjun was stunned.

Luo Qingyun's eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and her thoughts were long, but she saw Sun Yingxue holding her and leaving, and said in her ear: "It turns out that Ruan Xiangjun's brother is Lord Ruan Yuheng!" ”

"Ruan Yuheng?" Luo Qingyun seemed to have heard of this name, but he didn't expect it to be him! Today's words made her impressed, she always felt that this person was ruthless, but she didn't expect him to be a downright person.

At the fork in the road, Sun Yingxue took a step ahead, and Song Zixun floated behind her and said in a low voice: "Let's go!" ”

Luo Qingyun forgot the time and frowned slightly: "Song Zixun, I will be beheaded in the middle of the summer at noon today!" Since entering the palace, she has always taken good care of me, and she must have been coerced that day, and I don't want her to be a substitute for the dead. ”

"And you're going to intercede for her?"

"Hmm!" Luo Qingyun paused: "Since I know that she is still alive now, if I don't do anything, she will die at noon!" ”

Ruan Yuheng paused in front of the palace gate, and Xiao Ping passed the rumor that he dared to enter. After the salute, the emperor waved his hand: "Get up!" ”

He thanked him and straightened up, thinking that the emperor would reproach him a few words, but the emperor didn't bother to ask, turned his head to look at Xiao Ping and asked, "What did I ask you to investigate, what is the result?" ”

Xiao Ping bowed: "Back to the emperor, the servants have already checked the palace maids and eunuchs in each palace according to your instructions, but found that there is one less eunuch on the errand in the imperial dining room!" ”

The emperor's face froze: "In the imperial dining room?" ”

Xiao Ping continued: "Exactly, the head of the imperial dining room said that Xiao Dezi was on an errand on the night of the accident, and he couldn't be found yesterday morning, and when you sent the old slave to investigate, he was about to report it!" ”

"Is anyone else missing?"

"Not yet!"

The emperor nodded, and said calmly: "Xiao Ping, you immediately send someone to find that little virtuous son, you want to see people alive, and you want to see corpses when you die!" ”

"No!"

Ruan Yuheng was puzzled: "Your Majesty, do you think that soul is now on this little dezi?" ”

The emperor's dark eyes were heavy and said: "Very likely! ”

"But this soul is not easy to deal with, it is better to send more people......" Before the words fell, the eunuch sent a message to Luo Qingyun to ask for a meeting outside the hall.

The emperor was stunned, and his brows wrinkled slightly: "What is she doing here?" ”

Ruan Yuheng replied, "Maybe it's news about that soul!" ”

The emperor pondered for a moment: "Pass her in." ”

Luo Qingyun lowered his head and walked into the imperial study, and knelt timidly in his heart: "The concubine sees the emperor!" ”

The emperor's tone was cold: "What are you doing here?" ”

Luo Qingyun slowly raised his eyes, but saw that Ruan Yuheng was also here, paused, and said with a straight expression: "Back to the emperor, the concubine wants to ask you for mercy and spare half a summer!" ”

The emperor was puzzled for a long time, and a pair of black eyes were inexplicable: "Who is Banxia?" ”

Luo Qingyun was stunned for a moment, and sighed lightly: "It's the maidservant girl before the concubine!" ”

"You're here for this, huh?" The emperor was puzzled: "She framed you, and you still intercede for her?" ”

Luo Qingyun's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he said in a low voice: "Back to the emperor, she must have been coerced in Banxia, she is still young, please spare her life!" Although the concubine knew that it was very inappropriate to come here rashly to intercede, but when she thought that she was going to be beheaded at noon, she always felt uneasy in her heart, and asked the emperor to pardon her! ”

The emperor shook his hand and waved his hand: "She is your maid, if you don't want to kill her, it's up to you!" However, she still has to be punished for doing such things, and you can do it yourself! ”

Luo Qingyun was shocked, she didn't expect the emperor to be so easy to speak.

"No, thank the emperor for his kindness! Thank you for your kindness! She hurriedly bowed her head in thanksgiving.

"If there's nothing else to do, you can step back first!" The emperor smiled helplessly.

"No! Thank you, Your Majesty! She rejoiced and withdrew. Ruan Yuheng secretly looked at the emperor's expression, was silent, and asked, "Your Majesty, you pardoned that maid so easily?" She's guilty of a capital crime! ”

The emperor smiled: "The people who planned this matter are safe and sound in the harem, what's the point of killing a palace maid?" Originally, she was given the death penalty because she framed Luo Qingyun Zhen, but now, she has come to intercede, what reason do I have to kill an insignificant palace maid? The corners of his mouth hooked slightly: "Besides, if she can't save the palace maid, she will definitely blame herself!" ”

He said this lightly, Ruan Yuheng's face froze suddenly, and the emperor's tone, intentionally or unintentionally, carried the protection and favor of Luo Qingyun, although he didn't realize it, his eyes couldn't be faked.
