In the past few days, she has been very quiet. Rouge has just arrived and has a lot to learn, so he doesn't have time to accompany her, so he asks the accompanying maids to be dispatched. Mo Li has also been missing for many days, and must be busy with government affairs.
He had no time to care about other things.
Talking about Mo Li always reminded her of what happened the day before yesterday, and she also indirectly understood why Rouge still called him prince when talking about the past.
Overtly or covertly, it was foreshadowed that everything here was extraordinary and not as simple as she saw or imagined.
She originally thought that this place would be a paradise, but she never thought that the paradise was no different from her world.
Perhaps, there is no pure land of bliss in this world, it is just an excuse for people to seek comfort.
But she felt very uncomfortable in her heart. It was like a huge stone pressing on her heart, and she could hardly breathe. She wanted to get rid of distracting thoughts, but she couldn't let go, and she didn't dare to think deeply.
She was afraid that the result of her persistence would destroy the rare tranquility now. The questioning and condemnation in her heart kept her wandering and struggling.
"Miss Nanzhi, we can't go any further."
The soft reminder in her ear pulled the bewildered woman back. Nanzhi remembered that she was walking in this garden without a clue, that she had strayed from her dormitory and walked into an unfamiliar area.
"I didn't expect this garden to be so big. In front of it is..."
The maid beside him whispered in his ear.
"Miss, the palace in front is the residence of Concubine Hua."
"Hua Fei?"
Nanzhi quickly turned it over in his mind, thinking that among the concubines who had survived so far, she was the only one with the surname Hua.
"Is it Hua Benxi?"
"Exactly."
The maid nodded cautiously and lowered her eyebrows, then continued.
"Hua Fei's temperament is not as good as before, and everyone in the palace keeps away from her. Miss, let's go back quickly."
"Oh...okay."
Nanzhi glanced at the splendid palace with understanding, and then followed the maid back.
"Although Hua Benxi has not become a queen, she is also a deputy queen. Why is she a concubine now?"
"Miss, please forgive me for talking too much, but you should not know too much. It will not be of any benefit to you."
"That's it. Thank you for your advice. I've already guessed who it is."
The little girl with sideburns still kept her head low. Nanzhi saw it and understood in her heart that she was acquiescing to it.
The flowers and branches were luxuriant and tangled all over the place. Nanzhi and his maid walked through it, and when they were about to pass by a rockery, they suddenly heard a woman's hurried shouting, and subconsciously stopped where they were, stretched out their heads and looked slightly.
"Brother Mo Li, wait for me!"
A woman in golden clothes, with a head full of dazzling pearls, dazzled people's eyes under the swaying light of the scorching sun.
Nanzhi squinted her eyes and took a closer look. The woman ran up to the man panting, regardless of her dignified image, with a sad look on her face.
"Brother Mo Li...husband, you haven't come to see me for many days. I really miss you!"
Unable to help herself, she stood up and hugged the thin waist of the man in front of her, leaning against him, a blush suddenly appeared on her cheeks.
With Rou Xiang in his arms, the man pulled her up indifferently. His indifferent expression made the woman stunned for a moment.
"It's hot, so stop running around and go back quickly."
