He Xuan's hands clutching his sleeves were already soaked with sweat, and he tensed his nerves waiting for what Bi Yue was going to say, and his expression on his face was as usual.

After a while, Bi Yue seemed to swallow back what she was about to say, but she just looked at He Xuan's eyes uncertainly.

Ruolan was escorted up by several palace people, her thin clothes were clinging to her body because of sweat, and the traces of whipping could be faintly seen, and her face was full of tears and sweat.

"Princess, why are you here?" Ruolan saw He Xuan, her gloomy eyes revealed a hint of surprise, and then her face was full of worry.

"Let's go." He Xuan saw that the originally smart and clever little girl had become like this, his eyes were full of pity, he took Ruolan's hand and walked towards the door of the main hall.

Ruolan turned her head as she walked, and looked at Bi Yue who was sitting on top of her rather fearfully.

He Xuan stopped, stabilized his mind, and said to Bi Yue: "Thank you Concubine Yue, He Xuan said goodbye first." With that, he quickly took Ruolan and Qing'er out of Ningxiang Palace.

"Princess..." Ruolan was dressed in embarrassment, walked out of the gate of Ningxiang Palace with her head down, and said in a low hesitation.

He Xuan made a silent gesture and said in a low voice: "Don't say anything now, let's talk slowly when we go back to Zhaohua Palace." ”

Ruolan received the order, quietly followed Hexuan's steps, and trotted all the way back to Zhaohua Palace.

He Xuan returned to his dormitory, first asked Mrs. Cai to report her safety, and then asked the palace people to bring clean clothes for Ruolan to change into.

After dinner, He Xuan returned to his bedroom, and Ruolan immediately greeted him.

He Xuan looked at the bloody wound on Ruolan's body distressedly, and said, "Didn't Concubine Yue say that she wanted to sacrifice you?" Why are you still being tortured? ”

Qing'er and Ruolan are sisters, and they are carefully wiping the wounds on Ruolan's body at the moment.

"The slave maid has worried the princess. Concubine Yue is just a personal vendetta, and she didn't arrest the slave and maid because some mage calculated that the slave and maid are suitable for cultivating Jackie Chan. Ruolan raised her head to look at Hexuan, tears rolling in her eyes.

"What did you say?" He Xuan was a little surprised, she didn't know why Bi Yue wanted to arrest Ruolan, but now when she heard such a statement, she became even more curious.

The corners of Ruolan's mouth trembled, and she said softly: "Concubine Yue sent someone to arrest the slave maid because the eyeliner sent by the slave maid to Ningxiang Palace was discovered by Concubine Yue. Somehow, she noticed that there was something wrong with the palace maid, tortured her in private, and threatened the palace maid to feed her. The palace maid was so frightened that she summoned the slave maid. ”

He Xuan listened carefully, suddenly realized, and stared at Ruolan Dao: "So that's the case!" ”

"However, the princess can rest assured, the palace maid doesn't know that the slave maid listened to the princess's orders, and the slave maid didn't reveal anything to the concubine just now." Ruolan said loyally.

"Hmm." He Xuan replied absent-mindedly. Bi Yue really belongs to some city governments, and the eyeliner he just sent was dug out, and he almost involved himself, so he was still a little scared when he thought about it.

"The slave didn't do a good job in this matter, and almost affected the princess, and asked the princess to punish her!" Ruolan said, plopped down, and knelt on the ground.

When Qing'er heard this, she also knelt on the ground and begged, "Princess, please spare Ruolan!" She didn't mean to. ”

He Xuan looked at Ruolan and said slowly: "Alas, get up." You can't be blamed for this. It was we who underestimated the enemy. He sighed, not without disappointment, but most of this disappointment was for himself, not for Ruolan.

Qing'er knelt on the ground, her face was very nervous, for fear that something wrong would touch Hexuan's moldy head. After all, this is not the first time Ruolan has made a mistake, and Hexuan is a princess with a good temper, so she will inevitably be disappointed in Ruolan, right?

Ruolan raised her head, her eyes contained hope, and said, "Princess, although the palace maid who was newly sent to Ningxiang Palace was discovered by Concubine Yue, the palace maid has been fed by Concubine Yue, and now she is dead without proof." Again... The slave maid kept a hand just in case. ”

"Oh?" This was unexpected, and she asked with great interest, "Tell me about it." ”

Ruolan said mysteriously on her face: "The slave maid also bought an inconspicuous palace maid who has been serving in the Ning Xiang Palace. ”

Seeing that Qing'er didn't understand very well, Ruolan explained: "There are two of our eyeliners in the Ning Xiang Palace. When she was torturing the slaves and maids just now, listening to the tone of those palace people, Concubine Yue only found the one who had just been sent, and she should not know about the other. ”

He Xuan looked at the young girl in front of him with great appreciation, and said, "Well done!" In this way, Bi Yue thought that she had caught a spy, but she would relax her vigilance. You're so smart! ”

Ruolan had many wounds on her body, and her eyes revealed determination. Although she is thin, she is strong and brave.

"Ruolan, you really impress me!" In the past, Ruolan smashed her errands, and He Xuan never punished her, because in He Xuan's heart, Ruolan was a little girl who had lived less than her for more than 20 years. But now, with her own cleverness and intentions, this little girl can already do things properly.

Ruolan lowered her head a little embarrassed, and said lightly: "The princess treats the slave maid so well, and the slave maid naturally tries her best to do things for the princess." As long as the princess doesn't dislike the slave and the maid. ”

He Xuan took Ruolan's hand and said softly: "Look at what you said, I have never regarded you and Qing'er as slaves in my heart. Although your injuries are not serious, let Imperial Doctor Wang come over and take a look at them in a while, so as not to leave any disease behind. ”

"Look, Princess, Ruolan is still embarrassed!" Qing'er laughed, her fingers poked the itchy flesh on Ruolan's waist, and said, "You have to be humble when the princess praises you, the princess has never praised me like this!" ”

Qing'er pouted very cutely, and said with a smile: "Qing'er is also good as Qing'er, Qing'er is straight, cheerful and lively, and she is our pistachio." ”

"Ah, the princess said that day that Meng Meng is your pistachio! Am I a pistachio too? Then I don't ... Is it the same as Moemo? Qing'er opened her mouth and said with a sudden realization.

When Ruolan heard this, she burst out laughing, and the atmosphere in the room was warm and pleasant.

"Oh yes," He Xuan suddenly remembered something, and instructed Ruolan: "That palace maid died a pitiful death, after all, she died for me, don't forget to give her family some money, it can be regarded as a little comfort." ”

"No." Ruolan replied respectfully, then with admiration in her eyes, she asked, "How did the princess save the slave from Concubine Yue today?" The slave thought she was going to die. ”

"You also said that the princess turned her face with Concubine Yue for you, and almost put my life into it." Qing'er pouted and complained, but there was no hint of blame in her tone.

"Princess, this... What's going on? When Ruolan heard this, she was a little blindsided for a while, and her eyes were full of eagerness, trying to find the answer.

"Don't listen to Qing'er's nonsense. Bi Yue refused to let you go at first, so I scared her a few words. He Xuan said lightly.

"This..." Ruolan heard He Xuan say this, and she was even more confused, and her face was full of confusion.

He Xuan explained simply: "I told Bi Yue that I sent someone to Bi Guo to investigate the matter of Yue Ruyi. She heard that the color had changed behind her, and she quickly agreed to let you go. ”

"When did the princess send someone to Bi Kingdom?" Ruolan hurriedly asked, and then hesitated: "Could it be... The princess is in... ”

"Haha, soldiers don't get tired of cheating. I had no choice but to take a gamble. Fortunately, I won the bet, and this Biyue is really the moon Ruyi in the Fengyue field. He Xuan said calmly, his eyes fixed on a corner in the distance.

"But the princess is like this, isn't she offending Concubine Yue? Will she give up? Ruolan looked at He Xuan very worriedly, her fingers tugging at the silk handkerchief.

"She won't. It's just that she doesn't act rashly, because she thinks we have her handle in our hands. He Xuan's eyes were deep and his tone was light.

"Princess, isn't our situation very passive... Who knows when the moon concubine will suddenly be in trouble... Ruolan lowered her head and muttered.

He Xuan naturally knew in her heart that she would not have such a head-on conflict with Bi Yueqi as a last resort. But things have already happened, and they can only be taken one step at a time.

In the face of these two little girls, He Xuan originally thought that he would just fool the past, so that they didn't have to worry too much. Now it seems that Ruolan has not been deceived by Hexuan, and she soon realized the problem here.

"The boat is naturally straight to the bridge. Thou hast suffered a great deal this day, so rest early. He Xuan said lightly, and then drank the tea by himself, holding the fan in his fingers, and fanned it casually.

"No. The slave is not bitter, but it is just a little bit of skin. Ruolan said lightly, with a look of indifference on her face.

He Xuan looked at the sunset outside that was gradually setting, and said, "It's a little late today, and tomorrow when the imperial physician comes to ask for peace pulse, I'll give you a look." Go down. ”

Ruolan, who was standing behind He Xuan, heard this, and said obediently: "No." Without further ado, she went out of the room and returned to the room where she was resting.

He Xuan shook the fan, and the tassel on the handle of the fan gently hit He Xuan's snow-white wrist.

She looked at the red agate bracelet on her wrist, thought about it for a while, and finally took it off, handed it to Qing'er, and said, "Put this bracelet away for me." ”

"The princess doesn't wear it? This is a generous gift from the child! Qing'er asked in surprise, she very much hoped that Gongzi Hou could be with Hexuan, so that she and Daping could see each other for a long time.

"I don't wear it. And this hairpin on my head, put it away for me. He Xuan said softly.

"Why? Because of those words that Childe Lin said? Qing'er had a little grievance on her face, as if she was holding grievances for her son.
