Chapter 263: Doing Your Laundry
Chapter 263: Doing Your Laundry
"Alright, pack up your things and go back to rest!" Li Luobing stood up, patted the ash on his body and said. As a result, she forgot that there was still oil on her hands, but this shot wiped the oil all over her body, but fortunately, only Chu Ruoyan saw this scene alone, which also avoided her embarrassment.
"Yes, Princess." Everyone packed up their belongings, and it didn't take long for the courtyard to return to its former tranquility.
After Li Luobing went back, Chu Ruoyan also followed, and Qiao Su then followed the two into the house.
"Miss, your clothes ......"
Li Luobing looked down: "It's okay, just wash it in a while."
She also felt helpless about her actions tonight, and after saying this, she saw Chu Ruoyao snickering beside her.
"What are you laughing at?" Li Luobing was a little annoyed and angry, he was embarrassed enough, but he was still gloating there, Li Luobing took off his coat and prepared to hand it to Qiaosu.
"No need. You put it down. Li Luobing casually threw aside the coat handed to Qiaosu and ordered.
"Yes. The slave and maid went down. Qiao Su was very clever, and when she saw Li Luobing speak like this, she knew that the princess wanted to have something to say to the prince.
She saluted Li Luobing and Yan Wang and quickly slipped out, she had already heard the meaning of Li Luobing's words, and it was clear that she didn't want to disturb the solitude of the two of them. She has always liked Li Luobing and Yan Wang to be harmonious and give birth to children.
Now that it's just right, Qiao Su breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
"Qiaosu, Qiaosu?" Li Luobing watched Qiao Su salute everyone, and then left the room without looking back. Encountering such a "sensible" maid, Li Luobing also felt quite helpless in his heart, turned his head, and saw Chu Ruoyao picking up his dirty clothes.
She asked suspiciously, "I don't know why the prince wants these dirty clothes?"
Chu Ruoyan glanced at the clothes: "What if I say, I will wash it for you?"
"What?"
Chu Ruoya is crazy, right? There are people in the house, how can it be possible to let a prince wash the clothes by himself? He's kidding, right? Especially an ancient man?
"What's wrong? Why the surprise? ”
Li Luobing looked at Chu Ruoyi's disapproving appearance and was also a little speechless: "How can the prince personally wash the clothes, just hand it over to Qiaosu when the time comes."
In order to prevent Chu Ruoya from saying anything more, Li Luobing quickly pulled the dress over and put it away.
Chu Ruoyao hooked the corners of her mouth, and her eyes crooked to see Li Luobing busy on the side. It seems that her own lady, she ...... For his own sake, he felt that this was back to the way he got along with each other when he was wearing a mask.
It's good to be a friend. He felt sweet inexplicably.
When Li Luobing cleaned up and turned around, Chu Ruoyan was standing very close to her.
"I did the laundry just because of you." Chu Ruoyan looked at Li Luobing affectionately and spoke, but she thought in her heart, it is estimated that Murong Liuyun will definitely fall off her eyes when she sees her like this, and she will learn from him...... The way he spoke to a woman.
Li Luobing gradually blushed when he heard Chu Ruoyao's words, and pushed him away with some embarrassment, but his hand was grabbed by Chu Ruoyao.
"It's still early, why don't we go for a walk in the yard?"
It's still early? Li Luobing looked at the already dark sky outside the window, she didn't know where she was at all, but in order not to disappoint Chu Ruoyi, she still nodded happily, put on a coat and walked out.
At first, when they were in the courtyard, the two were still side by side, and after taking a few steps, Chu Ruoyi reached out and grabbed Li Luobing, Li Luobing struggled a few times, and didn't break free, so he acquiesced. The two of them came to the pavilion and sat on a stool just enough to see the sky tonight.
"It's never like we've ever sat together so quietly." After a long time, Chu Ruoyao spoke, but his eyes did not look at Li Luobing, but at the sky.
Li Luobing also fell silent after listening to Chu Ruoyao's words, what he said was indeed that the two of them had experienced too many things, although they had to stay in the mansion for a long time this time, it was also a blessing in disguise, so that they had more time together, as for the complicated things before, the two of them tacitly did not mention it at this time.
"Yes, indeed. It's been a long time since I've sat so quietly. Li Luobing also smiled and looked up as well.
"Do you want to know about my mother?" Chu Ruoyan suddenly spoke.
"Your mother?" Hearing him mention this, Li Luobing was very surprised.
She only knew a little about Chu Ruoyao's mother, and she didn't know any other news except that his mother had passed away, as for how his mother died, and why he was "crazy", Li Luobing never inquired.
"yes, do you want to hear it?" Chu Ruoyan looked at Li Luobing a little nervously. He had never told anyone about these things buried in his heart, and he had been buried for so many years, just when he met Li Luobing. It gave him the idea to talk about these things.
"If you want to say anything, I'd love to hear it." Li Luobing smiled at Chu Ruoyan and moved his body to his side a little. Chu Ruoyao noticed her little action, and turned around and showed a smile to Li Luobing.
"It is rumored that I went crazy when I was a child because I was stimulated by the death of my mother, but few people know how my mother died, except for the emperor and a few elderly palace maids, this matter was completely submerged by time."
Chu Ruoyan paused when she said this, and her tone was a little sad. Those memories before were deliberately pressed in his heart, but today it was as if the door to memories had been opened, and those painful feelings came over together.
"At that time, I vaguely remembered that my mother was actually very favored by the emperor, and because of this favor, my mother and I enjoyed privileges that many people could not enjoy. I can even climb on the emperor's lap without any scruples. ”
Chu Ruoyao smiled bitterly, there was only that time in his life when he was happy, and then it was now, when he met Li Luobing.
Li Luobing listened to Chu Ruoyan call his father the emperor very angrily, and he could understand that he had hatred for the emperor in his heart.
"How did it end up like this?" According to this development, Chu Ruoyan should be the most favored one now, maybe she would have had her own princess a long time ago, but if that happened, she would not have met him, let alone married him.
"Once, my father went to the concubine's bedroom without knowing that he was suddenly, and found that the concubine was lying naked with a guard, although the two were unconscious, they were unforgivable in the eyes of the emperor, and he killed the guard on the spot."
Although Chu Ruoyao's narration tone was calm, the clenched hands showed the pain in his heart at the moment.
Then the emperor locked her up on the grounds that the mother was sick, and the mother wanted the emperor to see her, but in the end she didn't wait, until one time the mother was seriously ill, and the emperor went to visit, and the mother quickly seized this opportunity to clear her grievances, but the emperor didn't believe it, and beat the mother concubine...... The mother died with hatred in this way. ”
Speaking of this, Chu Ruoyan couldn't suppress his emotions anymore, and his voice had begun to tremble, and these things were dug out of his heart by him like this.
Li Luobing also sighed with emotion when he heard these things Chu Ruoyan said, such things abound in the palace, and it is possible to disappear a few people every day, and these people will disappear in everyone's memory as time goes by, just like Chu Ruoyao's mother.
"Is that the end of it?"
"Originally, it ended like this, the emperor killed the heads of those who knew about this matter, and drove away all those who drove away, and the only few who remained in the palace also shut their mouths. But later the emperor knew that the mother concubine was actually framed. ”
"Then why didn't you find out then?" Li Luobing had a question in his heart. In fact, as long as you have a heart to investigate such a thing, it is easy to find out who is behind it.
"At that time, the emperor was in a rage, only caring about punishing the concubine, killing the guards and people who might leak secrets, and when he looked back, there was no way to find out."
Chu Ruoyan said that there was a surge of hatred, until now, he couldn't find out who was the one who did the poison in the first place, although he knew that it must be those people in the harem, but because there was no evidence, he couldn't do anything, and he couldn't even avenge his mother.
"How do you know all this?" Li Luobing held Chu Ruoyao's hand tightly, if he remembered correctly, he was only a few years old at the time, could it be that so many cruel things were all seen with his own eyes?
"Some of them are what I saw, and some of them are some of the older palace people and I told them, but now they are basically gone." Chu Ruoyao lowered her head and said.
Li Luobing didn't know what to say, so he could only hold Chu Ruobing's hand tightly, and Chu Ruobing also shook him back after feeling Li Luobing's movements. This matter has been buried in his heart for so long, and today he finally said it in front of someone he trusted.
"There will definitely be a solution to this matter in the future."
"Of course," Chu Ruoyan nodded firmly, "I won't just let my mother die like this." ”
"Then did you start pretending to be crazy from that time?"
"Yes." After saying those words before, Chu Ruoyao's mood had calmed down a lot.
"Later, I knew that my mother was dead, and the next person to be targeted might be me, so I could only start pretending to be crazy, and the emperor had asked the imperial doctor to come and see it, but it was difficult to find out such a thing as pretending to be crazy."
Li Luobing also nodded in agreement. Even in modern times, mental diseases are mostly caused by brain problems or psychological stimulation, and the pulse is not displayed.
"After the imperial doctors have tried, none of them can tell the reason, and the emperor can only accept the fact that I am crazy, but I suspect that he was good to me after knowing that the concubine was wronged. Or, I feel like he knows I'm pretending to be crazy and stupid! He believed I wasn't crazy. ”
