Chapter 27: The world is cold

“......”

I don't know whether it was Lan Ruoyan's fatigue or Nie Keren's calming fragrance. She kept falling asleep and didn't wake up until noon the next day.

"Girl, are you awake?" A dexterous girl stood by the bedside.

"This is..." Lan Ruoyan looked at the strange room and tried to recall how she came to this place.

"Girl, please freshen up. Madam said that if you wake up before breakfast, you will have dinner with you. At this time, Mrs. Chen should not have eaten yet." As the girl spoke, she brought clothes to Lan Ruoyan.

After dressing up, Lan Ruoyan looked at herself in the mirror and intuitively turned pale. Thinking of what had happened the day before, she couldn't help but feel sad again.

"Girl, is this makeup OK?" The girl put some red rouge on Lan Ruoyan, which finally made her face look more colored.

"Yes." Lan Ruoyan nodded. This girl was clever and very pleasant. "What's your name?"

"The maidservant's name is Chuntao, who is the lady's personal maid. The lady said that you are a distinguished guest, so she asked the maidservant to serve you." Chuntao replied with a smile. Her smile was carefree, which made Lan Ruoyan so envious.

Chuntao opened a delicate lacquer jewelry box, picked out a beaded golden phoenix hairpin, inserted it in her snake bun, and decorated two hairpins inlaid with sapphires to finish dressing.

"These jewelry are..." Lan Ruoyan asked doubtfully. She should not have brought any gold and silver jewelry.

"These are the lady's. The lady said that the girl is noble and needs to dress exquisitely." Chuntao smiled.

"Noble--" That's not the blessing of Xuanyuanchen. Lan Ruoyan suddenly felt gloomy. She was just a killer in her previous life. If she was still in her previous life, how could she marry someone as noble as him? In her previous life, she didn't have a general father like Lan Qifeng, and she was not even an ordinary family...

When she saw Nie Keren, Lan Ruoyan still couldn't relieve her melancholy mood. When she was eating, she didn't say a word and just listened to herself quietly. Nie Keren felt depressed. Finally, after the maid cleaned up the table, she took her hand and said, "What's wrong with you?" Chen'er made you angry again?"

Shaking her head, Lan Ruoyan took a deep breath. She looked at Nie Keren, "Sister, I don't want to be Lan Ruoyan anymore. I want to be myself..."

"Are you yourself?" Nie Keren was stunned and couldn't help laughing at her serious expression, "Aren't you now?"

"No." Lan Ruoyan shook her head and said painfully, "All of them thought I was Lan Ruoyan. They called me Yan, and it was just Lan Ruoyan, not me..."

"How can it be!" Nie Keren objected and said, "I don't know your father and your brother, but Chener didn't know you until they got married you. At that time, it was already you, and your master and your sister, they all knew you."

"King Chen took Lan Ruoyan to seize power, because Lan Ruoyan is Lan Qifeng's daughter, and the master took me as an apprentice because I was the daughter of the Mingyue Fairy. All this is because of Lan Ruoyan!" She defended, "Sister, can you understand this pain?"

"Don't do this, sister, you are different." Seeing tears in her eyes, Nie Ke was distressed.

"Sister..." Lan Ruoyan suddenly understood what had been uneasy in her heart since she came to this world. She was afraid of losing it. She was afraid of losing it again.

Lan Ruoyan is not in the royal palace, and Xuanyuan Chen will lose his soul. Where will she go? Walking up and down in the study and hearing footsteps approaching, he immediately looked at the door.

"Your Majesty, the flowers of Fanghua Tower are looking for a meeting." Xiao Linzi came in to report.

I thought it was reporting Lan Ruoyan's news. After listening to Xiao Linzi's report, I couldn't help but be a little disappointed and became irritable. What are you here to do?"

"Fang Qiao said that Concubine Ye's condition is getting more serious. Please go and have a look." Xiao Linzi replied truthfully.

Hmm, there will be today, she didn't ask for it! It's still dishonest to lie down and recover from illness. If she is still in the palace of Qi, won't she ask the stars to support the moon?! Xuanyuanchen thought to himself, but his expression was calm and said in a low voice, "I still have something important to deal with."

"Yes, I understand." Xiao Linzi was surprised and quickly retreated.

Fantiao returned to Fanghua Building, walked to the bedside of Nangong Jinzhi tremblingly, and whispered, "Your Majesty, the prince said that he was busy with political affairs... He had no time to come and visit the Empress."

Nanggong Jinzhi lay in ** and did not speak immediately, but slowly turned his head, his eyes fixed on the beauty of his head, and asked coldly, "Have you seen the prince in Songtang?"

Her heart trembled, and her beautiful voice trembled. "I didn't see it. It was Xiao Linzi who sent a message..." She was only worried about whether Nangong Jinzhi would lose her temper now, and her life and death were uncertain. At this time, she thought of Xianxue, the maid who was loyal to the young lady, and the final blamed her.

"Mother, please take medicine." The maid Qiu Chan brought the medicine.

Bang! Nangong Jinzhi grabbed the bowl and threw it on the pretty face standing aside. The hot potion suddenly splashed on her face, and she screamed in unbearable pain.

"You are all sick! Humph! Don't think that I can't do anything to you if I can't move!" Nangong Jinzhi scolded fiercely. Even if it would consume a lot of strength, she still scolded. Seeing that theqiao girl couldn't stop crying because of the burn, she was even more angry!

"Little Fuzi! Send this bastard girl to me!" Xiao Fuzi is the eunuch of the royal palace of Qi and the confidant of Nangong Jinzhi.

At this time, Nangong Jinzhi's "send" is not an ordinary one! Xiao Fuzi came over and dragged the flower lying on the ground and dragged it out. The flower has followed Nangong Jinzhi for many years. How could she not know the meaning of this "sup"? She cried, "Mother, spare my life! Mother, please spare my life--"

Xiao Fuzi dragged the flowers all the way to a secluded place. Although some people heard this shouting, the servants followed "no see, no hear or say", and no one dared to come and intervene.

In the cherry blossom courtyard, Shaofei Liu Yuying embroidered baby clothes, and it is still the pair of mandarin ducks playing in the water. Luo'er served and listened to her talk about the recent events in the house. Hearing her say that Lan Ruoyan had left the house again, and the needle and thread in her hand stagnated. After sighing, she continued to embroider. Luo'er is a careful maid. How could she not pay attention to this? "The princess is leaving. The Empress should be happy. Why sigh?"

"I just sigh that the one who doesn't want to stay is left, and the one who doesn't want to leave is left." Liu Yuying's voice was weak, and she was extremely sincere to Xuanyuanchen. Unfortunately, when Lan Ruoyan appeared, he ignored her.

"Mother, don't be sad. Sooner or later, the prince will understand who he should cherish..." Luo'er comforted.

After being silent for a while, Liu Yuying heard the crying sound of someone outside. She looked sideways out of the window and saw an eunuch dragging a maid aside.

Luoer! Fuben Palace, go out and have a look!" In a bad heart, Liu Yuying hurriedly said to Luo Er.

Luo'er didn't know what was going on. She quickly stepped forward and helped Liu Yuying and walked out. She was followed by three or four maids, Xiao Liuzi and several eunuchs.

"Little six, you guys come forward to stop them!" When I walked to the door, I happened to see Xiao Fuzi dragging a fancy turn.

When she took Liu Yuying to follow, she saw that Xiao Fuzi was suppressed on the ground. She was already stone all over her body. Following the traces of water stains and saw a well, Liu Yuying knew what was going on. Her feelings were lynched to kill her maidservant!

"Which hospital eunuch are you! How dare you are!" Liu Yuying's voice was harsh and questioned Xiao Fuzi.

"Is it Shaofei!? If you think you are the master, you can touch me! I'm from Empress Ye!" Xiao Fuzi didn't pay attention to Shaofei at all because he was the person who came out of the palace of Qi.

"Ye Fei! Oh! She still stops every moment, and she can only lie down and kill people! You are a powerful slave, I want to see if I can touch you!" Liu Yuying hates this kind of bullying eunuch. "Send him to the government, just say that this dog slave is killing people. Let's see how the officials in the capital will treat you!"

"Shaofei! You don't want to die! Empress Ye will definitely make you feel bad!" Xiao Fuzi shouted, but Shaofei didn't seem to hear it.

When Xiaofuzi was sent away, Liu Yuying looked sideways at the shivering flowers sitting on the ground because their clothes were soaked in water. She couldn't help but feel melancholy. She took off the mink velvet cloak on her body and covered Huaqiao's body.

Although theqiao was frightened, she also knew that there was a difference between superiority and inferiority. She quickly took off the cloak and said, "You must not do this! You have saved my life. How can I stain your cloak?

"If you don't put it on, you should catch a cold! I ordered you to build it!" Liu Yuying frowned and said, "Do you want me to get cold in order to consume this cloak with you?"

She was so frightened and moved by Liu Yuying. Her own master splashed her with hot potion and was about to die because she didn't call the prince. She knelt in front of Liu Yuying. "Since the Empress has saved the maidservant, please accept the maidservant. If the maidservant returns to the Fanghua Tower, there is only a dead end. One... please take it in."

"You put on your cloak first--" Liu Yuying was stunned. She never thought that this little girl would be like this.

"If the Empress doesn't agree, I would rather freeze to death like this today than go back and be killed by Concubine Ye. The death is unknown... Empress, you can be a poor slave and take me in!" Hua Qiao said and kowtowed, kowtowed on the cold ground one by one, and the sound was heartbreaking.

"I will accept you, don't take you, I will accept you! Luo'er, pull her up quickly!" People said that the tyranny was more fierce than the tiger, thinking that the Nangong Jinzhi was so fierce that even her own slaves did not want to work for her, and they blamed her for jumping and being cruel. Looking at the trembling beauty, she suddenly had a plan. What the prince hates most is the Nangong family. Why don't you just ask some ugly things that Nangong Jinzhi has done in the past from the little girl? At that time, she will also make a contribution in front of Xuan Yuanchen!

Liu Ya, who saw this scene from afar, quickly went to Songtong Hall to report to King Chen and asked King Chen how to deal with the little blessing. Xuan Yuanchen listened to Liu Ya's ins and outs, and his eyebrows frowned more and more tightly. How could the backyard ever be so chaotic! Unexpectedly, Nangong Jinzhi really took the death penalty as the Prince of Qi! Unexpectedly, he is so lawless!

When he got up, Xuanyuan Chen said in a low voice, "Fanghua Tower!"

"Yes." Liu Ya responded and hurriedly went out to pass it out.

"Don't ask Bu to come, I'll go there by myself!" Xuanyuanchen strode out and headed in the direction of Fanghua Building, and Xiaolinzi also accelerated his pace to follow. From this step, King Chen's anger can be imagined.

"The prince is here!" After Xiaolinzi passed the pass, the slaves of Fanghua Building panicked out to welcome him.

"The prince is thousands of years old."

Ignoring the group of kneeling slaves, Xuanyuanchen went straight into the inner room. Qiu Chan, the maid, was getting out of bed with Nangong Jinzhi. When she saw him coming in, she quickly fell to her knees and said, "Your Majesty."

"Well, with you, I'm afraid I will never be blessed!" Xuanyuan Chen said coldly without saying any courtesy, but let her kneel all the time. He walked aside and sat down.

Nangong Jinzhi listened to Xuanyuanchen's words and was stunned. Did the prince know anything? Seeing the prince sit down, she quickly asked Qiu Chan beside her to pour tea. Why don't you pour tea for the prince!"

"It's free to pour tea. I won't stay for a long time. I ask you, the little Fuzi in your yard intends to push the maid into the well. What do you think should I do with that dog slave?" Xuanyuan's voice was lighter than boiled water, and he felt wasted any emotion towards Nangong Jinzhi.

Nangong Jinzhi was shocked and "dispelled" the fancy, but it was her order. Did King Chen come here to plead guilty? Try to reply calmly, "Your Majesty, that's just a slave's business. There's no need to worry about it."

"Inu? The slave can be left alone. Will the murderer be exempt from saying whose slave he is? Xuanyuanchen sneered and said, "Fe Concubine Ye, is that how you teach slaves? No wonder the little Fuzi would do such an outrageous thing and shout that he was the slave of Concubine Ye!"

"The prince forgives me, and my concubine really doesn't know what Xiao Fuzi did, prince..." Nangong Jinzhi explained in fear, but Xuanyuanchen only regarded her as a joke.

"You are clean." Xuanyuanchen got up and looked at the Jinzhi of Nangong, who was still kneeling there. "You are my side concubine for a day. I will let you enjoy your glory, but if you can't take care of yourself, don't blame me for being ruthless!" After saying that, he shook his sleeves and left.

"Congratulations to the prince" sounded outside. Nangong Jinzhi's body was suddenly unstable and she sat on the ground. Qiu Chan quickly helped her get on the bed and cover the quilt. Madam, the prince is so heartless that he said such cruel words to her!"

" Shut up!" Nangong Jinzhi shouted. Qiu Chan just hurried to stop her voice. She was afraid that if she accidentally offended Nangong Jinzhi, she would be like a flower. Go and see what's wrong with Xiao Fuzi. Go back quickly!"

"Yes!" Qiu Cicada took the order and quickly walked out of Fanghua Building.

At this time, Xuanyuan Chen left Fanghua Building and went to Yingliuyuan. He didn't remember the last time he went to Shaofei's place. Thinking of Lan Ruoyan's absence, only she can control Nangong Jinzhi. Liu Yuying is a careful woman, which can also be said to be a needle hidden in Mianli. Probably only her mind can compete with Nangong Jinzhi. Lan Ruoyan was too kind, and he couldn't bear to let her be stained by this backyard full of intrigue.

Xiaolinzi was about to announce that he was stopped by Xuanyuanchen's wave. He stepped into the inner room and saw Liu Yuying applying medicine to the face of a woman dressed as a maid. It was only after being pushed into the well by Xiaofuzi and rescued by Shaofei that he was gorgeous. He was always familiar with this name.

"Ah! "Your Majesty!" Luo'er, who turned around to change the medicine, saw Xuanyuanchen and knelt on the ground in horror, "Your Majesty is blessed."

Shaofei and Huaqiao were also surprised. They quickly turned around to salute. Xuanyuanchen quickly took a step to help Shaofei and said, "If it's not convenient for Concubine, you don't have to salute."

His tone was soft, and for a moment, Shaofei suddenly thought that she and Xuanyuanchen had returned to the past. Prince——”

"Shaofei, sit down first." Liu Yuying's affectionate eyebrows are inexplicably resistant. Her once bright appearance is a little less aura, but now she can't find more beauty than grace and luxury.

"Thank you, Lord." King Chen hasn't been with her for a long time, and Liu Yuying felt a little flattered.

"My concubine, that maid is the beauty you just saved, right?" Xuanyuan Chen looked at the beauty of the rules of kneeling on the ground. Her body trembled slightly, and her face was a little red because of the burn.

Shaofei knows Xuan Yuanchen. He has everything in his hands. How could he not know that such a big thing happened in the backyard? So "Yes, it's gorgeous. I haven't seen the prince yet."

"The maidservant met the prince." Flowers bow down and salute.

"Well, you are weak now, so go back and have a rest first." After Xuanyuan Chen said quietly, after the fancy retreated, he turned to look at Shaofei and said, "How have you been feeling recently?"

"Why doesn't the child come out in my concubine's belly? I'm really worried." Liu Yuying stroked her high bulging abdomen with a gentle smile, but her heart was dim. The pregnancy has been extended for many days, and I don't know if there will be anything wrong with the birth of the child.

"I'm asking you." Xuanyuan Chen emphasized it all over. He looked at Shaofei carefully. Her eyes were a little red and she looked a little haggard.

His simple words made Shaofei very happy, and the prince still cared about her. As long as the prince cares, the concubine will feel better. Lord, don't read it."

"You are always so sensible." Xuanyuan Chen sighed and stopped looking at Liu Yuying. They were also husband and wife, but he did not have any superfluous feelings for her. He just felt that she was his side concubine.

After Lan Ruoyan plunged into his heart, he naturally snuffed her, and when she saw him coming, she greeted him with joy. She was different from Lan Ruoyan. Lan Ruoyan is the kind of woman who doesn't say it easily even if she wants to. He doesn't understand why she always hides her feelings for him and even suppresses her.

Only on Lan Ruoyan did he feel a kind of motivation that made him want to pursue. Liu Yuying did not have it, let alone Nangong Jinzhi. In the past, the woman in the backyard was just a pastime for him. At this moment, I realized that Lan Ruoyan was so special to him!
