The autumn breeze is cool, and the osmanthus is fragrant.

In mid-September, Liu Jing and his entourage went to the royal hunting ground to hunt. On the third day, the attendants of the capital rushed to report, and after Liu Jing heard it, he hurried back to the palace.

In the lotus curie of the Beauty Palace, Cui'er cried: "Master, I'm sorry, it's all my fault, and you were beaten." ”

Liu Lu sighed and said, "You must be cautious in the future, if it weren't for Empress Cao's mercy today, you would have died." ”

Cui'er said: "Master, I really didn't hit Wu Meiren, someone pushed me." ”

Liu Lu said: "I know. Now it's up to Wu Meiren's child to be saved, if not, ......"

Cui'er's life, she can't save it.

Losing Cui'er, she is really left alone in this palace.

She has never competed for favor, has no family background, and has no prince, why would anyone want to calculate her?

Could it be because Liu Jing was special to her during the time when she was infected with the plague? However, Liu Jing had not summoned her for a month, and she had already applied to leave the palace, so she should not be remembered.

Liu Lu frowned and pondered, what should she do?

At night, it was slightly cool, and Liu Lu was lying on the bed reading a book. She had a whiplash on her back.

At this time, there was a sound outside, and I faintly heard someone shouting "The emperor is here".

Cui'er said fearfully, "Master, is the emperor here?"

Liu Lu said: "It should be to go to Begonia House to see Wu Meiren." ”

Cui'er was scared and said, "Master, will I be executed?" The two maids who caused Concubine Qian's premature birth last time were executed. ”

Liu Lu frowned and said, "I will try my best to protect you." ”

She got up and got dressed, and said to Cui'er, "Cui'er, you comb my hair for me." ”

After a while, there was a knock at the door, and the voice of the maid Xiao said: "Liu Meiren, the emperor has sent you and the maid Cui'er to go to the Begonia Residence immediately." ”

Liu Lu listened and took Cui'er to Haitang Residence.

The Begonia House is much more solemn and wealthy than the simple Lotus House.

Entering the door, Liu Lu saw that the Begonia Curie was calm and calm, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She looked at Liu Jing, who was sitting on the Taishi's chair, and curtsied and saluted, "Your Majesty." ”

Liu Jing glanced at Liu Lu and Cui'er, who was kneeling, majestically, and said, "Liu Meiren, I heard that you instructed the maid to bump into the pregnant Wu Meiren, but is there such a thing?"

Liu Lu said: "Your Majesty, it is impossible for me to do such a thing, and I don't have such a motive, please be careful." Today's event was an accident. I am deeply sorry for letting Wu Meiren move the fetus!"

Liu Jingdao: "I heard that Empress Cao punished your maid with fifty lashes, and you took twenty lashes for her, if it wasn't for your instructions, what would you do with the whip for the maid?"

Liu Lu said: "Your Majesty, Cui'er has followed me for many years, I am like a brother to her, she is reckless and troublesome, I am worried that she will not be able to stand fifty lashes, and I will voluntarily be punished for her." ”

Liu Jing looked at Cui'er, who was kneeling, and said majestically: "Cui'er, was it instructed by your master?"

Cui'er trembled with fright and said, "No...... No...... No. ”

Liu Jing said to Cui'er: "You act recklessly, Empress Cao will punish you with fifty lashes, and I will punish you with twenty lashes, so that you can have a longer memory, and if you commit it again next time, you will be directly executed." ”

Liu Jing turned his head to Liu Lu and said, "Liu Meiren will be fined for three months." ”

Liu Lu looked at Liu Jing, moved her lips, and wanted to intercede for Cui'er.

Liu Jingdao: "I will go to the torture hall tomorrow to receive the punishment, and it cannot be replaced." ”

Liu Lu's heart is a little wider, and if she can slow down for a night, Cui'er should be able to come down, she responded: "Yes, Emperor Xie." ”

Liu Jing waved his hand and said, "You stand down." ”

Liu Lu took Cui'er out of the Begonia House. After walking a short distance, Liu Lu stopped and stood on the side of the road and waited.

After a while, Liu Jing walked out of Haitang House.

Liu Lu greeted him and said softly, "Your Majesty, please come to me and say a few words, okay?"

Liu Jing didn't reply, raised his steps, and walked towards the Lotus Residence.

The corners of Liu Lu's mouth rose, and she quickly followed him.

After entering the Lotus Residence, Liu Lu beckoned Liu Jing to sit down and asked softly, "Your Majesty, are you tired today?"

Liu Jing said: "I'm a little tired. ”

Liu Lu said softly: "I'll pinch it for you, okay?"

Liu Jing didn't answer.

But Liu Lu looked at his expression and knew that he agreed.

Liu Lu gently put her hand on his head and began to massage him.

After a while, Liu Lu said softly: "Your Majesty, if you lie down, I'll pinch your body, okay?"

Liu Jing said: "If you want to say anything, just say it." ”

He had been hunting for a day, and he was already tired on the way back to the palace, so he lay down on Liu Lu's bed.

Liu Lu massaged his back and said, "Your Majesty, thank you today." ”

Today's matter of Wu Meiren, Liu Jing was able to end it like this, Liu Lu was a little surprised, and her gratitude was extremely sincere.

Liu Jing glanced at the medical book that was still spread out at the head of Liu Lu's bed, and his heart moved slightly.

He punished Liu Lu for grounding, and Liu Lu read a book in the Lotus House for a month, except for a walk, Liu Lu did not come out of the Lotus House, and never took half a step out of the Beauty Palace.

And for more than a year before this, Liu Lu had also been living in the Beauty Palace and had hardly come out. If he hadn't met her by chance, Liu Jing would have forgotten that there was a Liu beauty among his concubines.

She hid so deeply just to stay away from him.

Thinking of this, Liu Jing's eyes sank.

This woman ......

Liu Lu's hand massaged on his back turned into a stroke.

She leaned over and said in a soft voice, "Your Majesty, will you let me serve you tonight?"

Liu Jing's eyes moved, turned over, and said, "You have a wound on your back." ”

Liu Lu blushed and said shyly: "I can be on it, let's give it a try, okay?"

Liu Jing said: "I'm tired today. ”

Liu Lu's face darkened.

Liu Jing said: "Tomorrow." ”

Liu Lu held his hand, hesitated, and said softly with a red face: "I miss you, I like you." ”

Liu Jing lifted her chin lightly, looked into her eyes and asked, "What you said is true?"

Liu Lu replied, "It's true." Your Majesty, you are angry with me and ignore me, I am not happy. If you don't like me leaving the palace, I won't leave, as long as you allow me to study medicine. ”

Liu Lu glanced at Liu Jing's face and continued: "Actually, no matter what you want me to do, as long as I can do it, I am willing. I want to leave the palace, not because I don't like you, but life in the palace, I don't like it, I want to go and see what the outside world is like. But if you don't like it, I'm not going to look at it. ”

Liu Jingyan took her hand and asked, "Why don't you like the palace?"

Liu Lu said: "Just like Wu Meiren today, I definitely can't do it, thank you for trusting me." Your Majesty, I am hiding in the beauty palace, it's not that I'm noble, I also like power, but if I want to fight like this, I'd rather not, I'm afraid that I will become like that. They all want you, but you only have one. ”

Liu Jing asked, "What about you?"

Liu Lu said: "Yes, I think you belong to me alone, but I know that you can't be mine." You are like the sun and moon in the sky, and you belong to everyone. ”

......

Five days later, the list of people who were sent out of the palace was decided, and Liu Lu was on the list, along with Wang Meiren.

Liu Lu looked at the official document with the official seal excitedly, she can really leave the palace and be free!

Liu Lu didn't know why Liu Jing would agree to her leaving the palace, and she guessed that maybe the conversation that night had played a role.

Liu Lu's departure from the palace was set seven days later, on the 25th day of the ninth month of the solar calendar.
