026 Hollow Valley (4)

She silently endured the pain, and sewed more and more knee pads and arm pads with her heart, not only for herself, but also for Concubine Ji. Every woman here suffers from this disease. Occasionally, she would look up at the sky in anticipation of the butterfly kite flying high every ten days. It was Hyland reminding her of the passage of time and the peace of each other. Of course, occasionally Ling Yunche would still pass on some necessary clothes and materials for them, because the silver taels that Ruyi rewarded him with were enough for Yin Wan to fulfill her wishes. Although the money was not as much as expected, she could not be allowed to go to the palace of the most favored concubine, but Yin Wan at least left the Sizhiku, no longer had to deal with clothes all day long, and was scolded by her aunt, but changed to the third princess who served the queen by her elder brother. Although this is not the most ideal place, it is already a good place to go compared to the four Zhiku.

When the autumn wind gradually rises, the days of the cold palace will become more and more difficult. When it was time to fly the kite, it was a cloudy day, and the kite had just taken off before it fell again.

Ruyi felt faintly uneasy in her heart, and was thinking about letting Ling Yunche take a look, only to find that it was the other two guards who were on duty that day. She was really worried in her heart, but she couldn't, so she had to sit patiently under the porch and play all kinds of connections, thinking about when to let Ling Yunche send it out in exchange for some money.

And at this moment, Hailan's heart was like a storm coming, and she was so panicked that her kite had just flown up, and she was seen by the queen and Shen Changzai and Hui Guifei who passed through the imperial garden.

These days, the queen's face has not been good-looking. Her own second prince Yonglian has been sick intermittently, and he has been cured by his side for a while in the spring, and he was immediately sent back to his brother's office, but as long as the weather is slightly repeated, he has been cold, which makes people worried. When this layer of autumn cooled down, Yonglian became weak again.

The queen had just come from the elder brother's office, and when she saw Yonglian's face was cyanotic and her breathing was shortness and weakness, she was like a twisted heart, and at this moment she saw a colorful butterfly flying high, and she thought that her child couldn't get up and laugh loudly and play with all her heart.

Concubine Hui observed her words and looks, and already shouted, "Who is there?" ”

Hailan heard the voice, panicked for no reason, panicked and put away the kite string in a panic and knelt down and said, "See the queen mother, Hui Guifei mother." ”

Shen Changzai, who was following the queen, glanced at her contemptuously and reluctantly bowed.

Concubine Hui was very displeased, and her hibiscus face was like frost, and she scolded: "The queen mother is worried about the second elder brother's condition, and you are still happily flying kites here." ”

The queen's always soft face was as cold as ice, and she said, "It's simply heartless!" ”

Shen Chang persuaded coquettishly: "Queen Mother, don't be angry. Hai nobles have always been friendly with the Wulanala clan in the cold palace, and they do not associate with other concubines, and they are known for their withdrawn temperament. If she wants to gloat here, fly a kite and have fun, you will let her go. How long can the villain get his will? ”

Hailan hurriedly leaned down and said humbly: "The queen mother is angry, the queen mother is angry, the concubine doesn't know that the second elder brother is seriously ill, she is just flying a kite and frolicking here, not gloating!" ”

Concubine Hui said "oops": "In vain, the nobles are still in the palace, and even the ladies outside have come to visit the palace several times, and the nobles are really indifferent." ”

The queen became more and more annoyed in her heart, lost her former gentleness and composure, and was shocked and angry: "The palace and the emperor are worried about the second elder brother, but she doesn't care, and she is still so happy here, it's just her heart's heart." ”

Shen Chang took advantage of the queen's anger and simply stepped on Hailan's hand. The soles of the flowerpot shoes worn by the concubines are all inch-high paulownia wood, and the texture is extremely solid, and this foot is extremely hard to step on. Hailan only felt the pain in her heart, and tears fell from her eyes.

Concubine Hui shook her head and sneered: "I just shed tears at this moment, but I know that I don't care about the second elder brother of the queen." How can it be inferior to livestock? ”

The queen said disgustedly: "You like to fly kites in the imperial garden so much, so you have kneeling here in the palace to meditate." ”

"Oh, I'm afraid it's going to rain this day." Shen Chang was looking at the sky, and suddenly smiled, "Niangniang, treat such a person who doesn't know how to advance or retreat, punish him for kneeling in the rain, get drenched in the rain, and his head will be sober." ”

Hailan couldn't help it anymore, raised her head and said, "Ah Zhen, you have also been punished by the rain, why do you want to do to others what you don't want?" ”

The pearls and emeralds that were always there swayed in the increasingly gloomy skylight, and a dark light as cold as a mango: "This is how I am sober enough, so the sea nobles, you should also taste the taste." ”

The queen's tone was cold and short: "Then, kneel here, and wait for the heavy rain to wash away your vile and filthy heart." ”

The queen left angrily, stepping on the back of Hailan's injured hand, and the whole person almost slipped, but fortunately was firmly supported by the palace maids.

The queen looked at her with disgust and said, "Don't you put your hands away when they are in an inappropriate place?" ”

With that, the queen left worriedly. Shen Chang and Concubine Hui walked forward with the queen's arm left and right. Shen Chang said with a smile: "Don't be angry, it's common for children to have cold, there are so many doctors in the palace, please be relieved." ”

The queen was worried: "But the imperial doctor said that Yonglian's wind and cold have recurred, and it has turned into lung fever, and he often has difficulty breathing, and if he is not careful, it will be fatal, which is really worrying......"

Hailan knelt there, Ye Xin hurriedly looked at her hand, the back of her hand had been stepped on by the solid paulownia flower pot bottom of the two blood marks of deep purple and red. Hylan bit her lip in pain, trying her best to endure it and not let the tears of humiliation fall. She watched the clouds get denser and denser, and finally accumulated into a rare pouring autumn rain, sweeping her thin body and the remnants of the autumn day together, becoming a little bit of Ding Qiuping floating in the vast heavy rain.

The night was stormy, Hailan was full of high heat, and she couldn't bear the grievances anymore, so she ran out of the palace alone with an umbrella and ran to the cold palace. In the stormy season, even the guards hid in the room and refused to come out, Hailan knocked on the horn door, and finally alarmed Ruyi, who lived nearby. In the crack of her door, she saw Ruyi holding an umbrella and guarding the door, and she couldn't help but burst into tears, and she cried and told all kinds of humiliation today.

Queen, Hui Guifei, and Shen Chang, these three names almost immediately evoked the vague pain in Ruyi's heart. She gritted her silver teeth and said hatefully: "Hailan, the people who hurt me can't escape, it's the three of them. Now, even you may be trampled to death by them. ”

Hailan whimpered: "Sister, it's so cold in this palace, but I'm only one person, and I'm not even with you." ”

Ruyi's heartache was aroused by her again, and she reached out and pressed on the dilapidated and damp corner door: "Hailan, I'm here, it's so cold every day, as if there is never sunshine." Like at this moment, I want to shake your hand and warm each other, but I can't touch you through this door. Her voice became firm as a rock: "Hailan, if you don't want to die of cold, just hold yourself tight." Don't be like me, you can't do anything but hate, like me at the beginning, I don't know how to fight back except forbearance. Hailan, don't fall into my shoes, don't! ”

Hailan raised the back of her injured hand: "But sister, I'm afraid that my strength is not enough to protect myself." Anyone can trample on me, even disgusted by my existence. ”

Ruyi's voice sounded particularly cold and hard in the howling wind and rain: "Hailan, if others dislike you and trample on you, you must live better." ”

Hailan's crying was sad and helpless: "Sister, but I know that you are not living well, not at all. I'm not living well at all, what should I do? What can I do to help you, to help myself. ”

Ruyi's face couldn't tell whether it was rain or tears, but her voice was calm and didn't hesitate for a moment: "Hailan, I'm already a person who can't do anything, but you can still do it." You live a little better, or I can live a little better. Just as I humbly prayed at this moment, at least one physician could come and cure my growing rheumatism. Hailan, rely on herself, to strive for a better life. ”

Hailan tried her best to wipe the tears from her face, but found that her tears had already mixed with the rain, watering her. She was groggy and dragged her heavy legs as she walked through the vast rain curtain. The torrential rain whipped the earth like a huge rope at once, and beat again with splashes of water that were as hard as stone eggs.

She was hot and hot, but she felt that she had become a thin piece of paper, let the rain wash her, except for the deep cold, she still felt the deep cold. The autumn water in the Forbidden City is so cold, washing straight down, rolling countless fallen leaves and flowers into the ditch together, and I don't know where to float. She suddenly thought that if she died like this, only Ruyi would be the only one in this world who would grieve for her. Then Ruyi, even her last warmth was lost. She weighed Ruyi's wish in her heart repeatedly. After a long time, she suddenly realized that Ruyi's wish was her own wish.

Many years ago, the only person she could rely on was Ruyi. So today, she should also make herself a little stronger and become a backing that Ruyi can rely on.

When such thoughts finally crossed her mind, she had already walked back to the door of Yanxi Palace. Ye Xin and Green Mark were guarding the door with an umbrella, and when they saw her coming back in a daze, there was finally a little color on her face, she hurriedly greeted her, and said with a crying voice: "Little master, you have been drenched in the rain for several hours during the day and have a high fever, why are you still raining at this moment?" What about your umbrella? Little master, you speak, don't scare the slave and maid, little master! ”

Hailan listened to Ye Xin's voice in her ears, and couldn't help it anymore, she leaned back and fainted in the pouring rain.
