After a while, that familiar figure appeared in front of He Xuan's eyes, Ruolan's thin body was really tied up with five flowers, her eyes were red and swollen, and her face was full of tears.

He Xuan made a look, and several palace people tied up Ruolan and took out the rag stuffed in Ruolan's mouth.

Ruolan slumped on the ground and sobbed, "Princess... Ruolan... I'm sorry for your careful cultivation, princess put... Catch Ruolan and give it to... To Empress Zhao... Ask for sin! ”

He Xuan waved his hand and said lightly to those palace people: "You all go down." ”

Several palace people looked at each other with some suspicion on their faces, and then cautiously walked out and closed the door.

"I want to know why you betrayed, I think I treat you well, Ruolan!" He Xuan held back the anger and grief in his heart, staring at Ruolan's eyes and emitting a cold light.

"How dare the slave betray the princess, slave ... The slave is really forced to do so... Beg... Ask the princess... Don't ask... It has come to this ... Still is... Take the slave and the maid and ask for sin. Ruolan's emotions were not as excited as they were just now, but her voice was still choppy.

He Xuan was full of doubts, she must know the truth of the matter, so she said coldly: "Ruolan, you were originally a rough palace maid, I saw that you were clever and literate, and gave you a chance, and now you can serve by my side." But you actually did such a thing and trapped our Zhaohua Palace in injustice, I am really chilled. If you still have a little conscience, tell me why! ”

"I..." Ruolan lowered her head, her eyelashes trembled, she gritted her teeth, and said sadly: "Because I hate Empress Zhao!" I can't wait to kill her with my own hands! ”

"Oh? Why is that? He Xuan looked at the teenage girl in front of her, she also hated Empress Zhao, but she died tragically in her previous life. Ruolan is so young, what kind of grudge can she have?

After a long time, Ruolan stopped sobbing, raised her head, looked at her with teary eyes and said: "Do you remember when the princess first saw the slave maid, she asked the slave maid how she could read and count?" ”

He Xuan's thoughts were pulled back to a few months ago, and he hesitated: "You tell me... Your father was the butler of the ministers of the court... I asked Mr. Teach.。。。 Isn't it? ”

"The princess is good to remember, *** maid did say so." Ruolan nodded and continued to ask, "Does the princess still remember why the slave maid entered the palace as a rough envoy?" ”

"Yes. I vaguely told you that the minister had committed a great crime, the whole family was planted, and you were confiscated as a palace slave, right? He Xuan replied fluently.

Ruolan's eyes flickered, her cheeks trembled a little, she looked at He Xuan and asked again, "Princess, do you know what crime that minister has committed?" ”

"I remember, you said that day that Dr. Gongliang was beheaded all over the house for embezzling military salaries, did you lie to me?" He Xuan frowned and said.

"The crime is indeed embezzlement of military salaries. However, Dr. Gongliang never embezzled the military salary, he was just a scapegoat thrown out by the man behind the scenes. Ruolan's tears in her eyes slid down her cheeks, and her voice trembled again.

He Xuan raised his eyebrows, and said: "The master behind the scenes is... Zhao An, Zhao Guogong? ”

"Not bad." Ruolan's voice was sad, and she said slowly: "It's a pity that I am trapped in this palace, and I have no chance to seek revenge on Zhao An." These days, the slave maid looked at that Empress Zhao was not a good person, thinking that she had poisoned her, and the slave maid could be regarded as revenge. ”

"You... Are you avenging your old master? He Xuan asked hesitantly, his eyes fixed on Ruolan.

"I..." The expression on Ruolan's face was very painful, and she looked like she was struggling.

"Nope! You are... Who are you from the Gongliang Doctor? He Xuan asked loudly, she seemed to have understood why this little girl hated the Zhao family so much, and the reason was not to avenge the old master.

"There were many times when the slave was afraid of being seen by the princess. When I was a child, the slave maid had met Gongzi Xuan a few times, and when I met again in the palace that day, I was recognized by Gongzi Xuan, and the slave and maid almost thought that she would die. Fortunately, he didn't say anything and took special care of the slaves. Ruolan muttered.

"No wonder! I'll just say what's wrong with my cousin... When he left the palace that day, he also went to help you and Qing'er get out of the carriage... He Xuan recalled all the things when Cai Wenxuan and Ruolan were by her side, she originally thought that her cousin was too Lixian corporal, but at this moment she finally realized.

After a long while, Ruolan said in a very soft but firm voice: "I am the daughter of Dr. Gongliang, and my name is Gongliang Ruolan." ”

So that's it! She is burdened with a sea of blood and hatred.

There was silence in the room, except for the sound of breathing, no one spoke, and He Xuan looked at Ruolan with a very moved expression.

"Alas, you... Get up. He Xuan sighed and said softly.

Ruolan asked in surprise: "Princess, don't you take the slave maid to the front of Empress Zhao to punish the crime?" ”

"This girl, I just went to Biyue Palace and knocked over that plate of rose shortbread, and now no one will die. Besides, what difference does what you do and what I do in the eyes of outsiders? Who would believe that a little palace maid was holding back her thoughts to harm Empress Zhao? He Xuan said, his hanging heart relaxed, but he was still very afraid.

"It's the slave who is anxious." Ruolan stood up, lowered her head and said.

He Xuan listened to Ruolan's words, raised his eyebrows, and said with a slight anger: "In the future, you are not allowed to use such methods to harm Empress Zhao, otherwise my Zhaohua Palace will not be able to tolerate you!" ”

"No." Ruolan's face once again showed that frightened look, and hurriedly said.

"This kind of stupid trick of killing a hundred enemies and destroying three thousand self-destruction, don't use it in the future. It is really not easy to bring down Empress Zhao and the Zhao family, but it is not impossible. ”

Ruolan's eyes lit up when she heard this, she knew that the second princess was a bold and smart person. She saw that the relationship between Empress Zhao and this princess was nothing on the surface, but behind the scenes...

"No." Ruolan wiped away the tears from her face and said respectfully.

He Xuan nodded with satisfaction, sighed, and said, "Alas, you are also a poor person. From now on, stay by my side and serve, but if you want to do anything in the future, you must tell me not to act recklessly. ”

"Someone!" He Xuan shouted peace, and the palace people who had just gone out, as well as Qing'er, hurriedly walked in.

Several palace people knelt on the ground and saluted, while Qing'er looked at Ruolan with concern, and slowly walked behind He Xuan.

He Xuan said in an unquestionable tone: "What happened today, except for the few people present, no one is allowed to say it, otherwise you will not die!" ”

Several people kneeling on the ground hurriedly kowtowed, their faces full of doubt, and after saluting, they ran out like a plague.

He Xuan looked at them, and knew in his heart that Ruolan was tied to the front foot to ask the teacher for the crime, and Ruolan was put on the back foot to serve as usual, these palace people who didn't know the truth must have thought that this princess was crazy.

Ruolan's eyes were full of gratitude when she looked at Hexuan, thinking of what she had done and almost caused people up and down Zhaohua Palace to be buried together, she couldn't hide the guilt on her face.

Qing'er was overjoyed to see that Ruolan was fine, and hurriedly walked over and grabbed her hand, and the two little sisters looked at each other with tears in their eyes.

"Ahem." He Xuanqing coughed, and the two little girls let go of each other's hands, and said: "Find a way to find someone to blend into Ningxiang Palace, then Bi Yue is definitely not a good type, let's keep an eyeliner." ”

"What the princess said is very true, and the slave maid will do it." Ruolan then remembered something and said, "Princess, the slave maid still has one more thing, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”

"Say it." He Xuan couldn't stand the feeling of saying half of the words, and immediately said.

"It's not a big deal, it's just the matter of the Lebin Building... Last time, the princess said that she would hang a sign opposite Yuefu Building, and soon the sign was splashed with black paint. And then... There are thieves near the Lebin Building. . . Ruolan was a little embarrassed.

Qing'er was taken aback and said, "What? ”

"Hmm. Gongzixuan suspected that Yuefu Building had hired a few hooligan ruffians to steal the money bags of the guests who walked out of the Lebin Building. As time goes by, there are fewer and fewer guests coming to our Lebin Building. Gongzixuan said that he had reported to the official, but it had no effect. Ruolan said methodically, if it weren't for the red and swollen eyes and wet hair that betrayed her, she really couldn't have imagined that something like that had just happened.

"Hehe, who wants to go out for a meal and lose money, Yuefulou's trick is really ruthless." He Xuan lowered his head and thought, and said a mocking sentence on his lips.

"Where is this ruthless, it is clearly a means of indiscriminate! Princess, let the government arrest and interrogate the people of Yuefulou! Qing'er was so angry that her little face turned red, and she stomped her foot and said.

"Without evidence, the government can't just arrest people. Even if a ruffian is caught, the credibility of such a person's words is questionable. Yue Fu Lou just wants to fight with us, which shows two things. The corners of Hexuan's mouth rose and said mysteriously.

Seeing that the two little palace maids were waiting quietly, he said kindly: "First, it shows that the shopkeeper Yan is doing a good job, and Lebin Lou has robbed Yuefu Lou of the business." Second, the steward of Yuefu Building is not convinced by us, and he has to fight to the death. ”

"Princess, what should we do?" Ruolan asked worriedly.

"What did Shopkeeper Yan say?" He Xuan asked.

"The advice of the shopkeeper Yan is also to hire a few hooligans to steal things at the door of Yuefu Building... Say yes ... Give back to the other in his way... Ruolan said with some slurring.

He Xuan raised his eyebrows and muttered, "This is a method, but well, this exactly the same trick is beaten back, and it feels like we are being led by the nose by the opponent." You ask your cousin to tell the shopkeeper Yan that you can hire a few people to make brazen trouble at the door of the Yuefulou store. Then let the shopkeeper Yan go to the nearby government yamen to walk around, and all the officials who go to Lebin Building to eat will be discounted! Discounts in... Between 80% and 5% off! ”

"No. Princess's Trick! In this way, the people of the government often hang around in our Lebin Building, and those hooligans and scoundrels must be scared away! Ruolan's eyes lit up and she praised with a smile.
