"This is the only time I will help you deal with Bei Wang. If you get the person you like, you can attack Bei Wang's Mansion. And I just want to drive Su Ranhua out of Bei Wang's Mansion at any cost and save Bei Wang. I have the heart of a little woman,
The person who benefits the most is you, King Nan." Bai Yiyi said.
"Okay, deal!" Ximen Yi said cheerfully, looking at Bai Yiyi in front of him with a smile. They all said that women are a nuisance. The fact that there is such a big nuisance in the Beiwang Mansion must be beyond Ximen Hao's imagination. Fortunately for him, he always
Bai Yiyi treats it as a treasure and protects it carefully.
After negotiating with Ximen Yi, Bai Yiyi returned to the store.
"Miss, why have you been gone for so long?" Ru'er was a little anxious as she waited, wanting to go in and see what was going on, but due to Bai Yiyi's previous instructions, she didn't dare to go off the rails.
"Nothing, I went to the shopkeeper's warehouse to pick out some excellent ones." Bai Yiyi showed Ru'er some of the jewelry she had asked Ximen Yi to buy in advance.
"Wow, it's really good!" Although Ru'er is just a maid, she has seen many precious things while serving her master, so she naturally knows that what Bai Yiyi is holding is not a common thing.
"Okay, we should go back." Bai Yiyi said and walked out of the store.
Bai Yiyi and Su Ranhua met at the gate of the palace.
"Yiyi, are you out?" Ximen Hao asked.
"Well, King Nan's jewelry store opened and I went over to have a look." Bai Yiyi said, she knew that Ximen Yi's store was so popular, Ximen Haoyi knew about it.
Su Ranhua knew that the palace and the prime minister had their own properties outside the palace, and the court did not explicitly prohibit it. It was not surprising that he ignored the two people who greeted him and entered the palace first.
"Hao, don't you blame me for going to Nanwangfu's store?" Bai Yiyi asked carefully, holding the jewelry in her hands tightly.
"As long as you like it, it's a business no matter who it is, it's okay." Seeing Bai Yiyi being so cautious, Ximen Hao smiled and said, "Let me see what good things Nan Wang's store sells?"
Bai Yiyi showed the ornaments to Ximen Hao, and the two of them stepped into the palace together.
Because he was confused about Su Ranhua's inexplicable entry into the palace, Ximen Hao kept letting Chen Mo keep an eye on Su Ranhua. However, until the end of the year, Su Ranhua had been staying in Moyaxuan without even stepping out.
step.
Ximen Hao sometimes thought that he was overthinking it, and felt a little guilty towards Su Ranhua, but sometimes he recalled what Su Ranhua had said very clearly, and always felt that it was a bit strange that she specifically asked about the New Year.
However, after Xiaocui's death, Su Ranhua's calmness was the first thing that was strange. In fact, it should not have been as peaceful as it seemed.
After burying Xiao Cui, Liu Er returned to Mo Yaxuan. Many times she wanted to ask Su Ran Hua why he was so cold to Xiao Cui. Xiao Cui protected Su Ran Hua until she died and did not admit that she left on her own.
The purpose of the palace was to make Ximen Hao think that there was someone who was accomplices to Su Ranhua, so that Ximen Hao would be secretly afraid of him, and to prevent him from discovering that Su Ranhua had hidden extraordinary deeds.
But what did Xiaocui gain from her loyalty?
At this time, Liu Er even thought, is it a lie when Su Ranhua said that Bai Yiyi gave the Wufu Powder? Should she ask Bai Yiyi to punish this cold-blooded woman with a venomous heart?
"Liu'er, on New Year's Eve, please accompany me to the palace to watch the New Year's Eve."
After receiving the order from the palace, Su Ranhua said to Liu Er.
Just as Ximen Hao said, on New Year's Eve, all the royal relatives, wives and children were allowed to enter the palace and gathered in the Showa Hall to watch the New Year's Eve. Su Ranhua decided to let Liu'er accompany her to the palace as a personal maid.
Tomorrow is a new year. At this moment of bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new, it started to snow again. Large tracts of snowflakes fell quietly at night. During the day, they had covered the ground and everything was covered with snow.
The entire palace was decorated with lanterns and streamers, and everyone was given new clothes and rewarded with silver.
After Bai Yiyi packed up, she waited to enter the palace with Ximen Hao. This was the only opportunity every year to follow Ximen Hao into the palace. At this time, the emperor would treat him as his uncle, instead of being arrogant and solemn.
Ximen Hao ordered a carriage specially arranged for Bai Yiyi. This was also the first time that Bai Yiyi entered the palace alone in a carriage to attend the New Year's Eve banquet. In front of her was the carriage that Ximen Hao and Su Ranhua shared.
The sound of the windlass wheels pressing against the snow was so harsh.
Su Ranhua sat in the corner of the carriage, making no sound. Ever since he entered the palace last time, he hadn't seen Ximen Hao for many days.
She stayed pampered in Moyaxuan, while Ximen Hao was busy doing his things, or he was deliberately avoiding her.
Recalling the sweet words and intimacy they had together in the past, the two of them were sitting in a carriage, and the stiff and unfamiliar distance was widened.
Suddenly, Ximen Hao's big palm fell on Su Ranhua's hand, holding her fingers tightly. Although there was silence between them, the warmth of the two hands collided with each other.
Su Ranhua slowly raised his head and stared at Ximen Hao across from him, his deep eyes filled with unspeakable emotions, as if he had endless things to say but didn't know how to speak.
"I……"
"I……"
The two of them opened their lips almost at the same time, making a heavy sound from the bottom of their hearts.
Su Ranhua closed his mouth and looked at Ximen Hao motionless.
Ximen Hao moved his body and sat close to Su Ranhua, holding her fingers tightly with both hands, and their fingers were connected to his heart, but at this time, they were connected to his heart.
"After we stay together safely, we will forget all the unhappiness and stay together happily as before." Ximen Hao and Su Ranhua looked at each other and said slowly.
Su Ranhua smiled slightly and nodded gently. After tonight, if Ximen Hao can accept her, she will depend on him life and death and will never leave him.
When she thought of what she had already planned, to make Bai Yiyi plead guilty, Su Ranhua could not imagine Ximen Hao's reaction. She wanted Bai Yiyi to be convicted justifiably, and for Ximen Xianchu, she wanted to give the officials, including the queen, a
She wanted to make Ximen Hao speechless. He could only regret Bai Yiyi's fate, but could not refute it.
Ximen Hao stared closely into Su Ranhua's eyes, calm and calm. Is her heart really as calm as these eyes? Can she spend the last night of the old year safely?
If nothing really happens, he will admit his mistake for his deliberate indifference these days and will never doubt Su Ranhua again. If something unexpected happens, what should he do?
The two of them held each other's fingers tightly, and there was no other words spoken all the way.
After entering the palace, it was still early before dark, and the various palace gardens were bustling with activity. Some of them were rare meetings with relatives who had not seen each other for a year. The joy was mixed with tears in the eyes.
Bai Yiyi felt a little lonely and came to Jinhua Garden to find the queen. Su Ranhua and Ximen Hao paid greetings to the queen together and then wanted to leave with an excuse.
Seeing that the queen was still ignoring her, Ximen Hao didn't say much, waved his hand to Su Ranhua and told her to go find Ximen Wan.
