Xin'er is naturally willing, after all, in a hierarchical place like the Prince's Mansion, without the protection of the master, it is equivalent to being slaughtered. can be reused by the master, it is like an invisible talisman, and everyone will look up to her from now on. But Xin'er was a little uneasy, after all, the last time she was pulled to serve, she almost took her life, who knows if it will be the same result this time?

Xin'er looked at Yuan Xi hesitantly: "It is the honor of the slave to be able to serve the master, and Xin'er naturally does not dare to refuse." But I'm afraid that Xin'er will be clumsy and mess up the master's errand. The punishment of the new child is small, but the matter of mistaking the master is big. ”

Yuan Xi and Mother Zhong glanced at each other, when this girl faced Zhao Kezhen, she had to be a little clever at this time, so she wouldn't get on Zhao Kezhen's thief ship.

Yuan Xi hooked his hand and motioned for Xin'er to come closer, and Xin'er knelt at Yuan Xi's feet and leaned his ear over.

Yuan Xi said in a low voice: "Concubine Ben wants you to change into her appearance and go to the prison of Dali Temple for her." ”

Xin'er's body trembled, scared the three souls lost seven souls, Dali Temple is a place to deal with major national cases, how many people are locked up in the prison of Dali Temple, how many of them came out alive?

"Does the master want the slave to die for her?" Xin'er's eyes were full of fear, and even her voice trembled.

"Do you dare?" Won-hee stared at her.

Xin'er shuddered, her heart was half cold, she hadn't yet made it to the glory of her ancestors, and she was going to take her life? Xin'er lowered her head, thinking of the old lady and her younger brothers and sisters at home, all of whom had yellow faces and thin muscles. Xin'er gritted her teeth, if she could use her life to exchange dozens of taels of silver for her mother and younger siblings, so that they could spend the rest of their lives peacefully, she would be considered to have died well.

Xin'er made up her mind and nodded: "The slave dares." ”

Mother Zhong was a little surprised: "Xin'er, have you thought about it, and you are not even afraid of death?"

Xin'er nodded: "If the slave maid said that she was on an errand for the master, I am afraid that the master would not believe it." The slave maid only said that she wanted to get more silver, and the slave maid also had an old lady in the family, and the three younger brothers and sisters needed to be taken care of by the slave maid. Ask the master to reward them with more silver, so that they can live, and Xin'er will have no regrets even if he dies. ”

The truth sounds better than those flattering words, Yuan Xi smiled slightly and raised his hand: "You get up." ”

Xin'er stood aside stiffly and looked at Won-hee quietly.

"No one wants you to die for her, Concubine Ben just wants you to pretend to be her, live in prison for a few days instead of her, and after Concubine Ben sends her away, she will naturally save you. ”

Xin'er nodded suddenly: "Since this is the case, the slave and maid are even less terrible." ”

Yuan Xi glanced at Zhong's mother, and Zhong's mother gave her fifty taels of silver tickets. Yuan Xi said: "These fifty taels of silver tickets can be regarded as fixed money, and when the matter is done, the concubine will reward you ten times." But this matter is a matter of life and death, if you dare to leak the slightest rumor, then no one can save you. ”

Xin'er happily took the fifty taels, he had never seen a larger amount than ten taels of silver in his life, and touched the silver ticket several times, holding it in his arms: "Niangniang, don't worry." ”

Yuan Xi nodded: "Mother Zhong, I'm a little tired, you explain Miss Lan's situation to Xin'er, you must do it exactly right, those people in Dali Temple are not wine bags and rice bags, don't be dismantled when you verify your body." ”

Mother Zhong answered and took Xin'er to her room.

Yuan Xi walked to Lan Yu's bedside, Lan Yu slowly opened her eyes: "Sister, in fact, you don't have to worry about me, I'm like this, what's the difference between dead and alive?"

For Lan Yu, it seems that there is no difference, but for Yuan Xi, the difference is big. Compared to Lan Yu, what happened to her in her previous life is also comparable, pushing herself and others, Lan Yu's mood, no one understands it better than her, how can she bear to let Lan Yu die so humiliating?

Yuan Xi stroked Lanyu's hair and said, "Good sister, I'll tell you the truth." At the beginning, Princess Chenxiang once asked me if my eldest brother had anyone he liked, but I didn't tell the truth at that time. Because I don't dare, a companion is like a tiger, and I can't help but think about the Wei family. Princess Chenxiang is straightforward, if the matter between you and your eldest brother is publicized, what should the emperor think? He would think that the Wei family and the Lan family are about to join a party. These days, I have been wondering if it was because of my words at that time that led to today's situation. Maybe the root of all this is me, and although I can't heal you, I will at least save your life. ”

Lan Yu blinked: "Sister, don't say it, I understand." Either way, it's not your fault. Besides, the emperor should hate my father, and the emperor is wise and wise, and loves the people like a son, so how can he tolerate such a corrupt official as my father? Naturally, the emperor and queen love their sister, and naturally they also cherish Cheng Yong, and how can the daughter of a criminal minister like me be worthy of Cheng Yong? Even if you say it at the beginning, it may not be able to change the emperor's mind. ”

Yuan Xi sighed, not knowing what to say to Lan Yu for a while.

Lan Yu smiled: "Is my sister okay with His Royal Highness the Prince?"

Yuan Xi nodded, fortunately, Rong Zhan is obedient to himself, he is the wishful man in his heart, and no one is better than Rong Zhan to himself.

"My sister is so happy. Lan Yu looked at Yuan Xi, her eyes full of old age that did not match her age. She sighed, but with a dreamy smile on her face: "In my next life, I will be like my sister and marry a man I really love." ”

Yuan Xi turned his face and quickly wiped away the tears on his face: "Yes, when you arrive in Guiyunzhou, if there is a suitable person, my sister will call the shots for you." ”

Lan Yu shook his head: "Don't do it, guarding a crippled person like me, no one will be able to bear it." Others have a good youth, so why delay me?"

Lan Yu glanced at the door: "Sister, you should go back." ”

Yuan Xi was slightly stunned and slowly stood up: "Then I'll come to see you tomorrow." ”

Since taking Lanyu back to the house, Yuanxi will arrange a girl to guard Lanyu at night every day, if she wets the bed in the middle of the night, she can help her change her immediately, so that it will not be like in the Lijun Palace, the dirty things are left on the bed, no one cleans up, and slowly gives birth to insect eggs, and the bitten Lanyu's legs are full of scars.

The little girl who kept vigil today stood at the door, looking in good spirits.

"Master. She screamed.

Yuan Xi looked at her, like a maid with quick hands and feet: "When you serve at night, don't be dirty and tired, this concubine will not let you work hard in vain, as long as you take good care of Miss Lanyu, this concubine will not treat you badly." ”

Back in the room, Rong Zhan was sulking, and there were a few crisp peaches scattered on the ground. There are no peaches at all in this season, and how much trouble the person who gave the peaches must have been. Won-hee leaned down and picked up a peach.

"Don't pick it up, throw it out!" Rong Zhan glanced at Yuan Xi sharply.

The basket on the ground was exquisitely knitted, as if I had seen one in Zhao Kezhen's room not long ago.

"Why did you throw away the things sent by Concubine Zhao?"

Rong Zhan stood up suddenly, snatched the basket and peaches she had just picked up from Yuan Xi's hand, and threw them out of the door.

"Slut, you dare to make such a treacherous trick in front of Lone!"

Yuan Xi looked at him in a daze, and suddenly saw Ling'er passing by the door with her head down, Ling'er covered her face, looking angry. Yuan Xi hurriedly stopped her, and Ling Er covered half of her face, which made Yuan Xi suspicious.

"What's wrong with your face?"

The three nail marks on Ling'er's face were not yet good, and there was another piece of redness and swelling.

"It's okay, miss, I'm fine. Ling'er covered her face and fled as if flying.

"Dare to be so presumptuous in front of Lone!"

Rong Zhan only said a few words, Yuan Xi really couldn't understand, and quietly called a little girl to ask for details. According to the little girl, Zhao Kezhen originally came to ask Rong Zhan for peace, and Ling'er sent a cup of tea, but Zhao Kezhen knocked over the tea carelessly because she said that the tea was hot. The tea was sprinkled on Ling'er's face, so there was the red stain just now.

If the tea is spilled, it must be sprinkled down, and it must be intentional to be able to raise the hot tea on the face. Rong Zhan is delicate, he can't see Zhao Kezhen's little trick, so no matter how apologetic Zhao Kezhen's face is, it is difficult to change Rong Zhan's anger.

It's a pity that this basket of crisp peaches, in the middle of winter, how much effort does it take to find this basket of peaches?

In the afternoon, Yan'er was ordered by Zhao Kezhen to go back to Shangshu Mansion to visit Zhao Shangshu, and she will come back tomorrow morning. Without Yan'er's reminder, Zhao Kezhen seemed reckless. Yuan Xi's face was gloomy, is Zhao Kezhen going to openly shout like herself?

It's no wonder that Rong Zhan was angry, if Zhao Kezhen hadn't been in the way before, her child would have been five or six months old by now. Yuan Xi waved his hand and motioned for the little maid to stand down, and he returned to the room with a smile.

"That's it, that's it, don't worry about a little thing, you have to go to court tomorrow, it's better to rest early. Won-hee said, stepping forward to help him untie his belt.

Rong Zhan looked at Yuan Xi, and his anger gradually subsided. Touching her cheeks: "What is it good for you to tell me? You are the crown princess, you don't have to let her everywhere." ”

Yuan Xi lowered his eyelids slightly: "I'm not letting her, it's that this mansion needs to be calm." Now that the king of Lijun is in charge of Beijing, and he has formed a party with Xiao Rongshen, we are afraid that we will not be able to deal with them, where is the time to take care of the affairs in the backyard? lest outsiders grasp the weakness. ”

Rong Zhan looked at her with lowered eyes, his heart became softer and softer, and he hugged her. Rong Zhan has a refreshing sandalwood fragrance on his body, as if a sandalwood bracelet is quietly placed in front of the Buddhist shrine.

"If one day, I become the emperor, and the queen of the middle palace will have no one else. Rong Zhan prostrated in her ear: "You are the lonely queen of the Middle Palace." ”

Yuan Xi's heart trembled, remembering that three years ago, he made a vow in the back hall of Xiyin Hall to marry her as the crown princess within five years.

Yuan Xi raised his face: "Then you have to promise me one thing." ”

Rong Zhan raised his eyebrows: "What's the matter?"

Yuan Xi stood on tiptoe and whispered in his ear: "You want to accompany me for the rest of my life." ”

He smiled: "Eternal life and eternity." ”
