People are extremely fragile, and if a white knife goes in and a red knife comes out, it can cost a life very easily, even a cold winter that the elderly can't endure, or even a few days without food.

Ruan Yuyi almost didn't feel hungry anymore, and her body was very weak. She had drunk too much water in the past few days, so much so that when she saw the tea, she felt a little sick to her stomach, as if it was some kind of poison.

But that's the only thing left in the palace.

She couldn't get the message outside, and the palace gate was guarded. Obviously in the imperial city, the Immortal Palace Lin Palace is majestic and gorgeous, but the entire Chang'an Palace is like an isolated island, and the heavy atmosphere has fallen down, and a lot of fresh vitality has faded.

Perhaps from the very beginning of the lockdown, someone set up a net and wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of her. The guards outside the palace may have changed a group a long time ago, and they are not people sent by the new emperor.

She was lying on the couch wistfully, her delicate lips were chapped and bleeding, and her face was sickly pale, as if it was about to break at the touch of it.

Mu Xiang was so distressed that although she didn't have much strength, she still brought tea and handed it to her lips, "Miss, it will be better to use some." ”

Her voice trembled slightly, and she said something that even she couldn't convince herself.

But what else could they do?

They had no other choice.

It's not that I haven't tried to break through, but those guards are crowded, the palace people are outnumbered, and most of them are some grandmothers and little maids who have some spring and autumn periods, where can they be worthy of the long sword that the other party wears.

In the eyes of outsiders, Chang'an Palace is still closed and grounded, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Thinking of this, Mu Xiang's expression was even more sad, and he secretly wanted the new emperor to come soon.

Ruan Yuyi stood up.

The rim of the cup that touched her lips was cold, but she knew that the water in the cup must be at the right temperature, and that the little maidens took turns to force it to boil the water. She didn't want to let people down, and wanted to drink some, but there was a stirring in her stomach.

She covered her mouth and turned her face away.

In the end, she still has old diseases in her body, and her feet do not touch the ground, and she is weaker than the palace maids who walk back and forth every day.

"Miss." At this time, Mu Xiang was already crying.

Her young lady was already delicate, and now she looks like a paper figure that is about to shatter at the touch of a button. She even held the young lady's hand, but it was only a false one, for fear that it would be broken.

I shouldn't have entered this palace a long time ago, and I shouldn't have looked for a son who didn't have a son.

Seeing this, Ruan Yuyi raised her hand and rubbed the top of her hair, "What are you crying about?" His Majesty must have been busy with government affairs, so he didn't notice the strangeness of Chang'an Palace. His diligence is a blessing for you and me, and a blessing for the world.

"He's coming, he's coming." The sugar man who was broken last time, he hasn't replenished himself yet.

Mu Xiang breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to swallow the cry, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she still changed her tone a little, "Really? ”

She was silent.

I can believe this for a while, but it's just a consolation. Ask herself, she doesn't want to be a concubine of her own, she wants to grab his shirt and make him hang his head and look into her eyes.

She wanted to ask him, why hadn't he been seen for a few days? Is it true that he will abandon her old man, as the rumors say?

Do you want to let someone with a heart interfere and starve her and the people in the palace to death in this palace?

She gradually broke down a little, and her emotions poured out like a flood of emotions, surging into her heart, choking her throat, and finally converging in her eyes, but only a little tear remained in her eyes.

She locked up her wayward self, and her self-proclaimed sober self sneered at her: the emperor was ruthless, and she didn't know it for the first time, so why did she have such a ridiculous delusion.

I think he will always be good to himself.

About in this game-playing game, she is the only one who takes it seriously.

Under Mu Xiang's slightly surprised gaze, she struggled to stand up, her gaze firm. Mu Xiang was busy holding it, but Rao was like this, she still stumbled and almost fell down with Mu Xiang.

.

Ruan Yuyi picked a snail from the makeup, and painted her eyebrows by herself, about the doors and windows in the palace were closed, and the light was really darker, and she drew her eyebrows into her temples, showing a bit of fierceness that she had never had on weekdays.

Opening the white porcelain box containing the lipstick, she dipped it repeatedly with her fingertips and wiped it on her lips to hide the pale color of her lips.

Mu Xiang handed over a clean handkerchief and cleaned her hands.

The two girls supported each other, pushed open the door of the temple and walked out. It was a warm day outside, illuminating Ruan Yuyi's skin almost transparent, pink and beautiful, and very charming.

No one would notice the hand under her sleeve, tightly clutching Muxiang's forearm, and only in this way could she barely stand.

As soon as the palace gate was opened, a guard stepped forward and said in a stiff tone, "Niangniang, Your Majesty instructed that you must not leave the palace without permission." ”

She looked at the guard steadily, and said quietly, "Is it His Majesty's order, or—the Queen Mother's order?" ”

The guard froze obviously, his face changed, and he suddenly drew his long sword and laid it in front of her, "No matter whose order it is, Niangniang just needs to know that you can't get out." ”

The long sword reflected the dazzling light of the day. She had always been afraid of pain, but now she was not so afraid, she stepped forward slightly, and the sharp sword reached her neck, and blood beads quickly oozed from her greasy skin.

The guards were startled and hurriedly put away their swords.

The Queen Mother ordered them to look at people and not give them food, but they didn't ask him to kill people, which naturally had the Queen Mother's considerations. If something goes wrong, he can't afford it.

"Let's go!" She suddenly said to Mu Xiang.

While the guards were stunned, she took Mu Xiang's hand and ran away regardless of it.

But these practitioners are pestle, and they are not in vain, and they take a few big steps, blocking the way of the two. When I turned around, there were people behind me.

She kept looking around, hoping that someone would notice something unusual.

But no.

A pair of half-worn forging boots stood in front of her, "Niangniang, where are you going?" ”

The person who came was a eunuch with a raw face, the corners of his lips were hooked with a cold arc, and he looked at her with a smile, "Where are you going?" ”

Ruan Yuyi took a small step back, her eyes full of vigilance.

"The slave is here at the behest of His Majesty, Niangniang—" he said in a low tone, "Take the order." ”

Her heart sank. Whether it is to get rid of her by means of a grounding order, or to secretly change the new emperor's manpower, the one in Cining Palace should not fake the holy decree.

She lowered her eyes, and a smile bloomed at the corner of her lips, with the chill of the first month. She bowed slightly, "The concubine is here." ”

From an angle she couldn't see, the eunuch smiled with satisfaction, "Your Majesty has a decree to order you to transcribe the Tao Te Ching three times." The minions are all ready for you. He glanced to the side, and immediately a palace man presented a book, pen and ink, and so on.
