The woody fragrance blocked the light falling on Li Meiren and cast a shadow. This shadow was like a basin of cold water, which shook Li Meiren.
She lowered her eyes and looked at Li Meiren's strange behavior, "My young master, please take a detour." This Li Meiren always loves to get in trouble with the young lady, and she can't let her disturb her today.
Li Meiren turned her gaze to the side and suddenly realized that there were so many palace people beside that person. Even if she used the knife now, she would not be able to achieve what she wanted.
She sneered and stared at Ruan Yuyi as if she wanted to carve out a piece of flesh from her body.
She finally turned and left.
After the booklet was finished, Ruan Yuyi took the booklet with both hands, kowtowed to the north, straightened up, and handed the booklet to the female official on the side. In this way, the ceremony was completed.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty." The female officer smiled and said, "In this case, I will go back and resume my life."
She stood up holding Mu Xiang's hand, nodded slightly, and the hairpin in her hair reflected the bright light.
After returning to the palace, she couldn't bear the heavy hairpins on her hair. She was in a hurry to remove the mirror, and several locks of hair came out.
When Mu Xiang saw this, she stopped her and took the half-dismantled hairpin. "Mother, that person just now is Li Meiren." A few hairpins got stuck in the hairpin. After hesitating for a moment, she had no choice but to cut it off with small gold scissors.
"How did she get here?"
The person behind him was silent for a while, and the two looked at each other in the bronze mirror. Muxiang said, "Miss, I don't dare to guess the master. It's just that after Li Meiren turned around and left, there seemed to be something shining under her sleeves. object."
A thought flashed through her mind, her breathing stagnated slightly, she let out a breath, and said, "Did you see clearly?" Although Li Meiren had a vague intention of breaking up with her, she probably wasn't so bold.
"My slave is not sure - it looks like a knife."
The last fixed hairpin was removed, and her black hair fell down like a waterfall. She raised her hand to rub the painful top of her hair, got up and walked to the desk.
She said softly, "Since there is no conclusive evidence, we can't slander people at will. Just keep a close eye on Li Meiren. If there is anything unusual, report it as soon as possible."
From Mu Xiang's perspective, only the smaller half of her face could be seen in profile, bathed in the light. Her eyes fell under the window, her eyes were like paint, and she didn't know what she was thinking about.
Mu Xiang leaned forward and said, "Yes."
As the sun was setting, unusual news was discovered. It was said that Li Meiren's people went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to collect a lot of firewood and a few fire discounts on the pretext of daily necessities.
Mu Xiang looked solemn, "Mother, shall we report to Your Majesty?" Although this person's thoughts were not implemented, it was already obvious.
Ruan Yuyi poured some tea for herself leisurely. The water poured out from the spout of the pot, causing the tea leaves in the cup to rotate continuously. When the water was seven minutes full, she put down the teapot.
"No need," she lowered her eyes, "Your Majesty is busy with government affairs, how can you bother him with the affairs of the harem?"
——But if things get serious, it will be different.
Mu Xiang was puzzled. Could it be that she had indulged Li Meiren? She asked the question in her mind.
But Ruan Yuyi nodded slightly, "Go and prepare a brocade quilt... no, just two cloaks, put them in the bathroom, and fill the bucket with water. Don't worry about the heat or cold."
Since persuasion was useless, she had to find some way to make Li Meiren calm down. At least the accusation would be confirmed, so that she would no longer be able to think of harming others for a while.
The easiest thing is to borrow his hand.
At night, she rested as usual, not wanting to be suspected, and changed into her pajamas.
The moonlight was like water, falling through the half-open window into the inner room where she was. Under the flower-spreading gold curtain, she opened her bright eyes and did not fall asleep. Outside the window, it was as quiet as an ordinary night.
I don't know how long it took, but when she even began to wonder if she had wrongly blamed Li Meiren, there was a rustling sound coming from outside through the crack in the window.
The movement is very light, and if you really fall asleep, you probably won't notice it.
She lowered her eyes slightly. She would rather she had really wronged Li Meiren, and the reflective object she saw at that time was just a silver bracelet. But she just relaxed the guard on guard and pretended that someone really broke in.
Come.
She stood up and opened the bed curtains, with Mu Xiang standing by.
She casually put on her embroidered shoes, and she and Mu Xiang walked into the bathroom quietly. The entire cloak was soaked in the tub, and the white fox fur on the edge of the hood was wet and tangled.
She once thought about asking the palace people to go out for a while, but then she thought that Cen Li was still there after all, and if she made any big moves, it would inevitably arouse His Majesty's suspicion, so she had to give up.
However, the lower chamber is a little far away from her residence. Judging from the firewood collected by Beauty Li, the lower chamber should not be included in the lower chamber. Besides, there are people patrolling the palace at night. If there is a fire, it will not take long to be discovered.
There is no need to worry.
Just as they put on their cloaks, they heard the faint crackling sound of burning coming from outside the window.
The hood covered most of her face, and the warm water dripped into her neck and slid down her clothes. Muxiang looked like he was ready to rush out with her at any time, but her expression was calm, so calm that it was shocking
fear.
It was as if the person Li Meiren wanted to get was not her at all.
What no one noticed was that her fingertips hidden under her sleeves tightened slightly, and the hood covered the disappointment in her eyes. Her heart felt cold every inch.
She originally thought that no matter how hard she fought, it wouldn't be a life-or-death situation.
With the help of firewood spread on the wall, the flames licked up the heights in no time, and thick smoke filled the inside bit by bit. Ruan Yuyi saw the fire moving upwards, and thick smoke billowing from the top. She asked Mu Xiang to lean over and use
Cover your mouth and nose with a wet cloak.
Mu Xiang naturally followed suit.
After a while, she gradually felt a little choked, and faint exclamations from the palace people could be heard outside, so she gathered her cloak and planned to leave.
When they reached the door, the beam was burned and fell straight down, forcing the two of them to retreat.
Her hand was held by Mu Xiang, her heart sank, and she secretly thought something was wrong.
But it was said that the palace attendants who were patrolling at night were lazy and walked casually despite their sleepiness. When they discovered that there was a fire in Luomei Pavilion, half of the sky was illuminated.
The palace people were startled, and Sleepy Man ran away completely. The palace lantern in his hand fell to the ground, and he started running hurriedly, "It's gone! Someone's coming! Luomei Xuan is gone!"
The sharp and panicked shouts spread throughout the surrounding palaces like a plague.
The lights gradually turned on, and people from the palace kept going back and forth to fetch water. Who lived in Luomei Pavilion? If something happened to that person, none of them would be able to escape the blame.
Some people are panicked, while others are naturally happy.
Li Meiren had been sitting upright in the main room, drinking scented tea while listening to her confidants reporting on Luo Meixuan's situation. The corners of her lips gradually opened in a cold arc.
You really deserve it.
She walked to the window, opened it, and admired the illuminated sky with interest.
