In another corner of the imperial garden, Ling Ruozheng and Xu Changzai were walking on the cobblestone path together. The two talked from time to time. Xu Changzai seemed a little uneasy. Just now, Guarjia asked the palace people to send a message, asking her to go to the palace immediately.
Unexpectedly, when she walked halfway to Fu Palace, she met Ling Ruo. She thought she would just ask for a greeting, but Ling Ruo insisted on dragging her to enjoy the flowers in the imperial garden, even though she said that Concubine Jin had sent someone to summon her.
, Ling Ruo also refused to let her go.
After walking for a while, Ling Ruo saw that she kept looking restless and asked, "What's wrong? Are you worried that Concubine Jin will blame you?"
Xu Changzai lowered his head and said: "If you want to return to your concubine, Concubine Jin will send someone to summon me. If I don't go for a long time, I'm afraid Concubine Jin will not be happy."
Ling Ruo smiled and said: "Don't worry, nothing will happen. If you are really worried, I will accompany you to see Concubine Jin after you finish visiting the garden."
Ling Ruo had already talked about this, Xu Changzai couldn't say anything more, so he had to continue to accompany her to visit the garden. However, I don't know if she was overly concerned, but I always felt that Concubine Xi's thoughts were not on those flowers, but more like
Use an excuse to talk to her. Because
In the short time just now, Concubine Xi had already asked her a lot, including about her frequent visits to Xianfu Palace recently. Since she had received instructions from Guarjia in advance, she did not tell the truth, but just pretended to be with Concubine Jin.
We are in love with each other, so we often go there.
She thought she had concealed it well, but she didn't know that Ling Ruo had already known everything, and she could see the shadow of Sochu Luo in her words and deeds.
At this time, Cai Die came to Ling Ruo and whispered a few words. Ling Ruo turned her head calmly and said to Xu Changzai: "Cai Die said she saw a beautiful plant in front near the palace gate.
Purple Magnolia, would you like to accompany me to see it?"
Xu Changzai asked curiously: "Is there a purple magnolia plant near the palace gate?"
Caidi hurriedly followed Ling Ruo's words and said, "In response to Xu Changzai, I was very surprised when I first saw it, but the purple magnolia bloomed really beautifully. From a distance, it looked like pieces of transparent
It's like purple jade, much prettier than the ones in this garden, my slave was stunned just now."
Xu Changzai was excited by what she said and said: "It's so beautiful, I really can't miss it."
Ling Ruo personally took Xu Changzai's hand and said with a smile: "In that case, let's go there quickly."
Under Ling Ruo's guidance, they deliberately bypassed the place where Nala was and walked all the way to the Meridian Gate. Xu Chang looked around from time to time on the way, trying to find the purple magnolia that Cai Die said. As for Ling Ruo,
She didn't even look at it, because she knew very well that there was no purple magnolia at all. The reason why she said that was just to lure Xu Changzai here to meet someone.
After saying goodbye to Nala, Hongshi walked all the way to the palace gate. When he was about to reach the Meridian Gate, a young eunuch walked towards him with a porcelain cup on a tray in his hand. He saw Hongshi coming.
, and quickly stepped aside to salute. Perhaps because he was a little nervous, he did not hold the tray while saluting, and dropped the porcelain cup to the ground, breaking the porcelain cup, causing the ginseng soup inside to spread all over the floor, even Hongshi's
There was a lot of splatter on the shoes.
The little eunuch was frightened. Before Hongshi could scold him, he knelt on the ground and said tremblingly: "This slave deserves to die! Please forgive me! Please forgive me! Please show mercy to me!"
The ginseng soup was very hot. Even through his shoes and socks, Hongshi still felt a burning pain. He frowned and said, "Which palace are you a slave? Why are you so careless?"
"Slave...slave..." The little eunuch seemed frightened and could not utter a complete sentence. He could only keep kowtowing.
Seeing this stupid and dull little eunuch, Hongshi suppressed the displeasure in his heart and said: "That's all, be more careful in your actions in the future and don't be so rash again."
Seeing that Hongshi had no intention of punishing him, the young eunuch was overjoyed and said quickly: "Thank you second elder brother for not punishing me!"
"Now I'm speaking fluently again." Hongshi said casually and then walked away. He didn't see the little eunuch kneeling on the ground rolling his eyes, wondering what he was thinking.
Hongshi had just taken two steps when he heard the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground from behind. Looking back, he saw the reckless little eunuch fell to the ground, his hands and feet moving wildly, and his whole body twitching. It looked like
He had an epileptic seizure, and he didn't answer any questions, he just kept twitching.
Hongshi didn't think something was right, so he just walked away. After waiting for a while, when he saw two palace people passing by, he quickly stopped him and said: "This man suddenly fell ill. Please send him to the Ministry of Internal Affairs immediately."
, see what's going on, if it's serious, ask Qian Moduo to ask the imperial doctor to take a look quickly, so as not to waste anyone's life."
He said this not because he really cared about the little eunuch's humble life, but just to maintain his humble and approachable image.
The palace servants agreed repeatedly and helped the little eunuch who was still twitching to go to the House of Internal Affairs. Seeing that the matter was resolved, Hongshi turned around and was about to leave. However, when he caught a glimpse of a figure walking slowly from the corner of his eye, his feet stopped.
He could no longer move, his whole mind was attracted by that figure.
Jiamo... is it Jiamo? Jiamo is back... Jiamo is back...
At this moment, Hongshi's mind was full of the word "Jiamo". This was the first woman he liked in his life. After Jiamo's death, he suffered for a long time. He even had a close relationship with Nala after knowing the truth.
They had a quarrel and almost broke up. Although it had been a long time ago, he still thought of her from time to time. But he never thought that one day Jiamo would actually stand in front of him alive.
Is it an illusion? No, the tassels hanging on her cheeks were blown up by the wind from time to time, and the spring light blew down her body. It was so real and definitely not an illusion.
But why is this? Jiamo was already dead a long time ago, and he watched her being buried in the coffin with his own eyes. Why... why is he alive again?
I don’t know how long it took, but Hongshi finally regained some sense from his dizziness and finally saw clearly the woman standing not far away. No, she was not Jiamo. Although this woman looked fifty-six times like Jiamo, she was also
It's just a resemblance, not Jiamo.
Even though he already knew that this woman was not Jiamo, Hongshi still couldn't take his eyes away from her, because... he really missed Jiamo and wanted to see the woman he once loved so much.
Ling Ruo saw Hong Shi's reaction in her eyes, and a smile appeared quietly at the corner of her mouth. Xu Chang, who was next to her, stared at Hong Shi without hesitation or even boldness. She didn't know how to deal with it, so she could only lower her head.
Without making eye contact with him, she said uncomfortably: "Madam, who is this, why is he..." She was a little shy to say the next words, always feeling that this person's gaze was strange.
"This is the second elder brother." After explaining this, Ling Ruo stepped forward and chuckled: "I didn't expect to meet the second elder brother here, what a coincidence!"
