When changing clothes for Zhu Heyu in the morning, Zhu Heyu finally agreed, and Xu Shen Lier left the palace and spent the rest of her life outside the palace.

Sending Zhu Heyu away, Zhu Ran disregarded his image, walked to the table, picked up the teapot on the table, poured the overnight herbal tea into the cup, and poured it directly into his mouth, suppressing the feeling of nausea in his heart. There are many ways to ask Zhu Heyu, just to achieve results, but Zhu Ran chose the easiest and most effective method. It just worked, but it made her despise herself.

Xiao Ge came in with a tray first, and there were willow branch brushes, green salt, and towels on the tray, and the palace maid who followed behind him carried a silver basin. When the two entered the hall, they saw Zhuran drinking tea and behaving indecently. Xiao Ge glanced at the palace maid beside him, and the palace maid stepped back. Stand in the middle of the temple and gently place the tray on the wooden table. didn't fuss like ordinary palace maids and asked Zhuran: What's wrong with Niangniang? Or: Niangniang can't drink herbal tea overnight, it hurts her body!

Instead, he walked to the edge of the couch and prepared to fold the futon first. Seeing the white silk that was thrown all over the ground, although she was a girl who had never done anything in the world, she had served in the palace for a long time, and she knew what it meant, her face was not red, and her heart was not beating to clean it up.

Zhu Ran had already come to his senses and said to Xiao Ge: "You go to Yili Hall immediately, and when you see Shen Niangniang, she said to her that the emperor has agreed to her leaving the palace, and she can set off after packing up!" ”

Xiaoge had been out for most of the hour, and when he came back, his face was slightly depressed, but he had disappeared when he talked to Zhuran.

The door of the Yili Hall was closed, and Xiaoge knocked on the door, but no one came to open it.

Zhu Ran panicked in his heart after hearing this, and a trace of bad premonition faintly surged in his heart.

Seeing this, Xiao Ge hurriedly comforted: "Xu is too early, the palace maid of Yili Hall has not yet had time to open the door!" It's also to blame the slave maid, who knocked on the door first without any force, and the people inside may not have heard it. After serving the mother and changing clothes, the slave and maid will go for another run! ”

Zhu Ran suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, changed his clothes, washed, dressed up, and put it on, it was already the hour. After breakfast, it was delayed for another half an hour. When he came out of the Chenghuan Palace, it was already the middle of the day, and Zhu Heyu had already finished his early dynasty.

Zhu Ran was walking towards the Yili Palace, and as soon as he arrived at the East Palace, he didn't take a few steps when he heard the two palace maids extremely frightened, and shouted in a broken voice:

"Dead man! There are dead people! ”

"Well... There are dead people in the well! ”

Zhu Ran stopped, Xiao Ge stopped the two palace maids, and asked, "Look at the appearance of the two of you, what kind of body have you become!" What happened, tell the mother carefully. ”

The two palace maids knelt on the ground and trembled for a while, and then they relieved themselves before they said incoherently: "Slave... The two slaves and maids came to fetch water, and ...... first It's been sent back with a bucket, and then ...... To hit the second bucket, we couldn't pull the bucket by pulling the well rope, I felt strange, leaned over to the well to look, but ...... But I found that there was a dead man standing in the bucket in the well! ”

"Standing in a barrel?"

Zhu Ran hurriedly ordered the palace maid to pull up the wooden barrel in the well, and he was still hoping that the person might survive, but when he pulled it up, he found that the person had died of anger. Zhu Ran looked at it closely, and his heart twitched violently, this person... Isn't this person Shen Li'er's personal palace maid!

I am afraid that someone notified the head of Zongzheng Mansion, in this huge palace, behind the resplendent and infinite glory, how much dirt and ugliness are hidden, what is the death of a palace maid, the head of Zongzheng Mansion is commonplace, but because it was Zhuran sent someone to inform this matter, it shows that the upper authorities have to attach great importance to it.

Zhu Ran walked towards Yili Hall with heavy steps, thinking in her heart, and when she saw Shen Li'er, she couldn't mention the death of her personal palace maid, she was all lost, and she was in the world with a strong breath, how could she suffer such a blow again.

When he walked to the door of Yili Palace, he was filled with an eerie aura, and the panic in his heart could not be suppressed. The crying voice of the palace maid and eunuch in front of the palace gate, as well as the corpse covered under the white cloth, reminded Zhuran of what had happened.

asked the palace maid who was lying on the ground crying, "How did Shen Niangniang leave?" ”

"Was... was given poisoned wine by the emperor. ”

Zhu Ran's legs and feet were weak after hearing this, and he almost collapsed on the ground, being supported by Xiaoge beside him, and barely standing. Looking at Shen Li'er's corpse, I don't know if she is dead or not, but she doesn't have the courage to lift the white cloth.

On the way back to Chenghuan Palace, Zhu Ran kept asking herself, if she didn't ask Zhu Heyu, Zhu Heyu wouldn't have killed Shen Li'er! It's just that why did he give Shen Li'er death? Why?!

Because Shen Li'er betrayed him in the end, he wanted her to die a good death! This is the only reason Zhu Ran can think of.

Two days later, Shen Li'er was buried.

Shen Li'er couldn't be buried with Zhu Hechu because she was a concubine, but Zhu Heyu may have buried Shen Li'er in order to get a benevolent reputation.

On the evening of the third day, Zhu Ran was summoned to bed. Zhu Ran refused on the grounds that he was not feeling well.

After lunch on the fourth day, Zhu Heyu drove to the Chenghuan Palace.

Zhu Ran sat expressionless in the hall, listening to the eunuchs outside the hall singing loudly: "The emperor has arrived-" but did not move.

Until Zhu Heyu entered the hall, Zhu Ran still maintained his previous movements, motionless.

Zhu Heyu ordered the palace maids in the palace to retreat, and when there were only two people left, he approached Zhu Ran, leaned over and stretched out his hand to reach out to Zhu Ran's forehead, and asked Zhu Ran with concern: "I heard that Ran Ran is unwell, isn't it a cold?" ”

Zhu Ran ducked back, avoiding Zhu Heyu's hand that probed into her forehead.

Zhu Heyu's outstretched hand fell into the air, but he still said to Zhu Ran good-naturedly: "Look at this sullen appearance, but who provoked Ran Ran?" ”

Zhu Ran heard Zhu Heyu's words, sneered unconsciously, and looked at Zhu Heyu with playfulness.

With such a sneer, Zhu Heyu hadn't seen it on Zhu Ran's face for a long time, and felt that his heart was stung by something, and asked Zhu Ran with some displeasure: "What are you laughing at?" ”

"When I went back to the emperor, the concubine didn't smile." Zhu Ran said coldly.

Zhu Heyu's anger was aroused all of a sudden, pinched Zhuran's jaw, lifted her face, forced her to look at him and said, "What do you mean?" ”

"If you go back to the emperor, the concubines don't dare to be interesting."

"You're angry with me, aren't you?" Zhu Heyu's hand holding Zhu Ran's jaw increased his strength, and asked in a cold tone.

"If you go back to the emperor, the concubines don't dare."

Zhu Heyu was already furious, resisted the urge to hit Zhuran, and threw him aside.

It's just that Zhu Ran moved over again and sarcastically said to Zhu Heyu: "The emperor is in charge of the life and death of the people in the world, and the concubines have disobeyed the emperor, how should the emperor deal with the concubines!" ”

Zhu Heyu only felt that the anger in his chest was about to rush to his brain, and his palms were clenched into fists with all his might, and he couldn't suppress it anymore, and threw the blue and white porcelain vase beside him to the ground casually. However, he is Zhu Heyu after all, and he has always had a means to deal with women, so he turned angry and smiled: "You still have too little knowledge of the methods I use to deal with people!" Wouldn't it be too boring to beat you and scold you! ”
