As soon as Bizhu returned to Jingxin Garden, Hongling hurriedly greeted her and asked repeatedly, "How, how?" The eldest lady is angry? ”

Bai Wei frowned and coughed: "Hongling, your rules?" "If this girl keeps being so reckless, I don't know what trouble she will cause to Miss.

Hongling's body shook and hurriedly retreated, tilted her head to look at Shen Ninghua's face, and saw that she was looking at herself with a smile, she suddenly became more and more embarrassed, and hurriedly helped Shen Ninghua pinch her shoulder, and secretly stuck out her tongue: "Miss, the slave is wrong." ”

Shen Ninghua smiled: "Don't pinch it, I have a rash on my shoulder, but I can't stand your toss." ”

"Ah, miss, the slave forgot, are you alright?" Hongling's face turned red.

"No problem." Shen Ninghua shook her head, Hongling has a lively personality and doesn't like rules and restraints the most, this personality is exactly the same as Si Qin, whenever she thinks of Si Qin's tragic death, she will tremble in distress. Therefore, looking at Hongling, she is also willing to give her more indulgence, although this does not reduce much of her guilt, at least it can make her heart not so dead.

Bizhu covered her lips and smiled for a long time: "Miss, the two orders have been handed over to the eldest lady." ”

"Okay." Zhao Yunxiang wanted to fool the past, so she just gave this dowry list to see how she wanted to be perfunctory.

Bai Wei walked over with the jade bottle containing the medicine, and used a clean cotton cloth to help Shen Ninghua with the medicine: "Miss, there are many ways to calculate the eldest lady, why make yourself so uncomfortable?" This rash is in a row, just looking at it makes her feel shocking, although knowing that this is the young lady's ploy, it still makes her feel very distressed.

Shen Ninghua took the cloth towel in her hand, pressed it lightly on her neck, and her eyes were calm: "Don't think that if we succeed in this counterattack, we will underestimate the eldest lady." Although she is a concubine, she is also the daughter cultivated by the Zhao family. This time, she was too contemptuous of me, so I was able to catch the loophole, and with this lesson, her plan will only be more elaborate. Plus my grandmother is here, and she doesn't want me to be out of control. ”

Xiao and Zhao have been dealing with each other for so many years without any benefits, she is happy to help Xiao get angry, but if she is too strong, then Xiao will have to think carefully about her own motives, after all, as a chess piece, it is still easier to control obediently. Therefore, she temporarily showed weakness, which could not only test the eldest lady and others, but also reassure the Xiao family.

Bai Wei thought in his heart, and covered his eyes worriedly, this Shen family is in crisis everywhere, and the situation of the young lady in the future is afraid that it will become more and more difficult.

After taking the medicine, Shen Ninghua asked Bai Wei and them to go down, and lay down on the bed alone, and slowly fell asleep in a daze. In the dream, she wandered around like a lonely ghost, and slowly saw the Fengyi Palace where she lived in her previous life. The palace was beautiful, but it was like a deep cage that imprisoned her.

After a while, she saw Shen Linghan standing in front of herself in her previous life, and her voice was as light as a bird: "Sister, I didn't want to enter the palace, but I already have the emperor's child in my womb, and you can't have an heir in the future, how about this child as if I gave birth to my sister?" My father also said, when I enter the palace, you are still the queen, and I can only be a concubine. ”

After a while, she saw Baili Jinze holding her hand with a look on her face: "Even if I don't have an heir, I won't marry her." Because, the heir can be chosen at will among the royal family, and you have only one. ”

Slowly, the figures of the two disappeared, and heavy rain poured down from the dark sky. She knelt on the ground and listened to Shen Linghan's smug laughter:

"The emperor has decreed that the lowly maid Shen Ninghua plotted to kill the emperor's heir, discussed the government in vain, and immediately abolished the throne and entered the cold palace......"

This was followed by a purgatory-like cold palace life.

"Ahh Shen Ninghua woke up suddenly, and a cold sweat came out of his body. There was a chill in her back, which made her body roll with anger, today was the first time she tried to fight back, and it was also the first time she had the upper hand in the confrontation with Shen Linghan and Zhao, which made her feel relieved and a little abrupt at the same time. The life of the cold palace has worn out too many of her emotions, and only in her dreams can she cry out uncontrollably.

It was already dark in the room, and there was a loud rain outside, and it started to fall at some point.

Shen Ninghua gasped for a long time, put on a coat and gently pushed open the window. She was choked by a damp and stuffy breath, it was July, and even when it rained, it was still very muggy. She involuntarily hugged her arms, after being locked in the cold palace, the bones of her limbs were pinched off, and a rainy day was like a blunt knife cutting flesh, so she was extremely disgusted with rainy days, even if she was not injured now, she still felt numb in pain when she saw the rain.

The rain hit her face, making her eyes slightly empty, and her trembling eyelashes were like butterfly wings soaked in the rain, lonely, fragile, and helpless.

"Miss Shen is so elegant, and it is also an elegant thing to enjoy the rain in the middle of the night." A joking voice rang out, breaking the silence of the room. Shen Ninghua was startled, and suddenly turned around to look at the dark room, and the fragile expression that accidentally leaked out suddenly converged without a trace.

"Young Master Chu is addicted to climbing over the wall in the middle of the night?" Her five senses are extremely keen, and she can naturally hear Chu Junyi's voice.

Chu Junyi walked out of the dark corner and looked at Shen Ninghua standing beside the bed, the room was too dark to see her expression at all, only to see her eyes were as light as cold jade: "I did you a great favor today, won't you say thank you to the life-saving benefactor?" ”

Shen Ninghua lit the candle, then walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, and said slowly, "Thank you Gongzi Chu today." ”

Chu Junyi raised his eyebrows: "A thank you is enough?" ”

Shen Ninghua raised her eyes: "Then what do you want?" ”

Chu Junyi walked up to her, gently lifted her chin with her fingers, and looked at her beautiful and peerless face under the lamp from top to bottom: "How about making a promise with your body?" ”

A smile bloomed, Shen Ninghua bent her eyes and looked at him, her eyes seemed to be full of moonlight: "Do you want to marry me?" ”

Chu Junyi was stunned, her eyes were in a trance, her eyes were exceptionally beautiful, whether she was happy or angry, she seemed to have a different meaning, he seemed to understand the meaning of the word "Ninghua", and he couldn't say it anymore because he didn't know why he was joking.

Shen Ninghua repeated again: "Do you want to marry me?" ”

Her voice was very clear, and even had a hint of coldness, but for some reason, hearing Chu Junyi's ears was like silk that densely wrapped his thoughts, making him want to nod involuntarily.

"Want to marry me?" Shen Ninghua spoke up for the third time, with a smile on her face like a flower.

Chu Junyi frowned slightly, just now she was still looking at the rain curtain with a lonely expression, but now she can smile so brightly. How many other faces she had not seen had been seen before. Intelligent, calm, indifferent, vulnerable...... Cunning! Thinking of this word, Chu Junyi bit the tip of his tongue and woke up suddenly:

"I don't dare to marry an ancestor to serve in the family."

"Huh." Shen Ninghua covered her lips and chuckled, but she was surprised in her heart, just now she used some phantom incense, which was the easiest to confuse people's minds, but she didn't expect Chu Junyi to jump out easily, "Young Master Chu is really extraordinary." ”

"Thank you for the compliment," Chu Junyi glanced at her angrily, this girl is really treacherous, and he felt sorry for her just now.

After his interruption, Shen Ninghua's mood relaxed a lot: "What are you here for today?" ”

"I'm here to bring you something."

"What's that?"

Chu Junyi raised his hand to extinguish the candle flame with a vigorous force, took out a jade box from his sleeve, and slowly opened the lid.

A brilliant color poured out from the jade box, and the light was as soft as water, but it illuminated the whole room transparently.

Shen Ninghua was surprised: "Night Pearl? "Although the night pearl can radiate brilliance, the light will not be so bright and dazzling.

Chu Junyi hooked the corners of his lips, and his handsome face became more and more exciting under the soft light: "This is the treasure of the Xia family, the old lady Xia is the founder of the country, this bead was seized when the Ming City was recovered, Emperor Taizu gave him the bead in recognition of his merits, and later heard that this bead was passed down for several generations, and finally became Miss Xia's dowry." ”

Shen Ninghua's eyes were shining: "How are you willing to give me this bead?" ”

Chu Junyi smiled with a smile on his face, and his expression was slightly meaningful: "Look at what you said, I didn't say it just now, I came today to send you this." ”

"Ming people don't say dark words, if you don't make the conditions clear, I don't dare to accept it." Shen Ninghua was unmoved.

"Hehe, the eldest lady is really reasonable. But you don't have much to say about it now, and I'll say it later. After speaking, he directly closed the lid of the box and threw it towards Shen Ninghua.

Shen Ninghua hurriedly caught the box, and there was no shadow of Chu Junyi in the head-up room. After a pause, he opened his mouth and called:

"Blue Sparrow? Hongling? After calling twice but not getting a response, Shen Ninghua lit the lamp and put the box away, walked quickly to the outer hall, looked at the sleeping Qingque and Bizhu, and found that they were only relieved by the sweat medicine, and the two woke up not long after taking the antidote.

"Miss...... Slaves and maids deserve death. Qingque woke up and immediately realized that he had been tricked, and quickly knelt on the ground to plead guilty. Bizhu also knelt on the ground with a pale face and said nothing.

Knowing that Chu Junyi was not a simple person, Shen Ninghua naturally would not blame them: "Get up, you can't blame you for this matter." ”

"Please punish the young lady." Qingque knelt on the ground motionless, in her heart, Shen Ninghua's safety was more than heavenly, this time it was okay, if something happened, she would die and would not be able to make up for it.

Shen Ninghua knew her temperament: "Later, if I ask you to do something, it will be regarded as a redemption for your merits, and don't make mistakes again." ”

"Yes, miss." Qingque and Bizhu got up and followed Shen Ninghua into the room.

Shen Ninghua took out the box, carefully looked at the night pearl in the box, and her lips rose slightly: "Bizhu, I remember that my mother's dowry list should have written a Suizhu, right?" ”

"Yes, miss." Seeing the bead, Bizhu replied in shock for a moment.

"Well, they bothered to calculate me, and I should give them a gift in return."
