The days passed, and seeing that the end of the year was approaching, a lot of flowers, candles, and lanterns were added to the palace, and various colors of curtains and satin were hung, and the palace people who came and went were even busier, not to mention Ruan Yuyi, who was in charge of the six palaces.

Although she was busy, she rarely saw the new emperor come to look for her, she felt a lot more comfortable, but Jiang Huaiyang was deliberately hanging her, and seeing that the little lady didn't realize it at all, she became more and more angry in her heart.

Wen Pheasant stood on one side, constantly staring at him, and said thoughtfully, "Your Majesty, are you going to Chang'an Palace today?" ”

The pen in his hand froze, and he said coldly, "Don't go." Then he buried himself in the scroll.

He wanted to see when she would come looking for him.

The Chang'an Palace didn't know this, and on a warm day, Ruan Yuyi sat in the courtyard and played a lot.

Just as someone from the palace sent Yu Jue, she looked at it and recognized that the palace person was from the new emperor's side, so she asked, "Your Majesty has been very busy recently?" "It seems like I haven't seen him for a long time.

"Yes," the palace man lowered his head a little deeper, "Your Majesty saw that this jade was shiny, and he asked the slave maid to send it to Niangniang." She swallowed, not daring to let the people in front of her realize that it was actually sent by Wen Pheasant in the name of the new emperor.

She took the jade jue, rummaged in her hand and looked at it for a while, and gave the reward as usual.

She actually didn't lack these, so she put this pair of jade jue into the network and tried it, which was just right, "How about sending this to Mu Ling?" She asked casually.

Fang asked, remembering that the things given by the emperor should not be given to others at will, because he no longer spoke.

When Mu Xiang heard this, he stiffened, but he still smiled, "This pair of jade jue is not as mellow as the whole jade, but the one you got before is more suitable." ”

She bowed her head slightly, deeply convinced. She hit this rope in order to set the jade, but suddenly saw this jade jue, and thought of the side again.

She instructed Mu Xiang to fetch the jade. When the jade was presented to her, the veil in her hand was just ready.

She put the jade into the luozi, and the round carved jade held it up, as if holding the moon, and it was moist and silky. Mu Xiang didn't say it, since Mu Ling was out of the palace, most of them still had to get married.

It's not interesting to send this dowry together, if you send some every time, ask her to save it, when she has a sweetheart, she will save almost enough.

Thinking about it, a smile appeared in her eyes, "Send the Spring Festival couplet written yesterday and this jade to Mu Ling." ”

Mu Xiang heard the tip of her nose sour, took the jade with both hands, and responded, "Yes." The person that Miss was thinking about, but she didn't want to be gone, and the things she sent didn't really make Mu Ling look at them.

She was afraid that the young lady would continue to think like this.

It's okay to say now, but when you get to the back, how to hide it. These lies are getting bigger and bigger, and in the end, I'm afraid that the paper can't hold the fire.

"How are she doing lately?" Ruan Yuyi suddenly thought of something, her eyebrows and eyes curled, "She doesn't have relatives around her, so she won't miss us to tears?" ”

As she spoke, Mu Ling's eyes were full of tears, and she snorted her nose, which was so pitiful.

Mu Xiang only felt as if a pair of hands had pinched her heart, and she tried to crush it with great force, and blood and flesh poured up, filling her throat, making her speechless.

She opened her mouth for a long time to find her voice.

She told Ruan Yuyi in a trembling voice, "Mu Ling, she has already gone. ”

"Where to go?" The smile on her face froze, and she didn't wait for Mu Xiang's answer for a long time.

The delicately woven strings rolled to the ground and became dusty. Her neck seemed to freeze, and she turned her head slightly, and she could almost hear the knuckles twisting.

Her heart was stuffy, as if she couldn't breathe. Her lips trembled, she breathed a sigh of relief, and her voice was unexpectedly calm, "When?" ”

Mu Xiang replied truthfully, "It's the middle of the month." ”

But it's the end of the month. They have been hiding it from her for so long, and have they not delivered anything and food to her? She clenched her knuckles white.

"Wood Spirit she...... How did it happen? She heard herself say that.

After getting the answer of "suicide", she finally couldn't hold it anymore, and lay down on the cold stone table, burying her head in the crook of her arm. The remorse enveloped her, forcing tears to flow down her sleeves.

She should have thought of these things a long time ago, even if people take care of one or two, there is never a shortage of ways for people who want to die.

She regretted letting Mu Ling out of the palace.

It's almost the New Year, and the palace is lit up and down, except for a few of them, no one will notice that a little girl is forever left in the cold winter.

They haven't celebrated the New Year together.

This year's snow didn't have time to be appreciated.

What I promised before, what I joked, at this moment, I don't count them all.

She couldn't stop crying, her face was hot, her brain was swelling, and everything in her ears was silent. She felt that the news suddenly felt a little untrue.

After some time, she was finally willing to look up.

She turned her back to Mu Xiang, first wiping the tears from her face. At this moment, Mu Xiang's voice gradually became clear, "Miss-"

"Did the wood spirit take everything with him when he left?"

Mu Xiang replied, "I didn't take anything away, I gave her back and put it in the house." ”

She went to the lower room with Mu Xiang, and in a small wooden box, she kept all the jewelry she had given Mu Ling, as well as some embroidered silk cloth. She recognized it as the three of them embroidering it together in their spare time.

There was also a small letter inside.

She hesitated, but opened it anyway.

Book:

The slave is a little lonely, and her mother marries another and is dependent on her grandmother. Fortunately, the day I saw it for the first time, I felt that I had the brilliance of the rising sun, and I didn't dare to look at it for a long time......

…… I hope that I will forgive my cowardice, and I will not be accompanied by you.

After reading, Ruan Yuyi pursed her lips, as if something salty had seeped into her lips, she breathed a deep sigh of relief, folded the letter according to the original creases, and tucked it into her sleeve.

She held the wooden box and walked slowly into the courtyard. There were several plum trees in the court, scorching and blooming, she chose one of them, squatted down, and the palace clothes woven with gold were unconscious.

She casually plucked a hairpin from her hair. The hairpin carved with butterflies and beads, brilliant in literary color, she inserted it into the soil without pity, and little by little brushed away the soil under the tree.

The new mud was darker, giving her the illusion that she would dig up dry bones under the tree.

"Miss-" Mu Xiang wanted to stop her, but she couldn't resist her, so she went to find a flower shovel.

Not long after, a shallow pit was dug under the tree, and Ruan Yuyi carefully put the wooden box in and covered it with a layer of soil. The opening of the box was facing southwest, and the wood spirit had told her that her hometown was over there.

Now, Mu Ling can completely disconnect from this man-eating deep palace, and she can go home.

Doing all this well, Ruan Yuyi had some real sense in her heart.

She really won't see Mu Ling's face again.

She got up, moved her numb legs, and planned to go back to the dormitory. Unexpectedly, after they left, another person dug up the place, put the next things in the wooden box, and then changed everything to its original appearance.
