Gongshang Confidante

Zhou Chiyu, whose face was as heavy as water, looked at that place with dark eyes, unconsciously held Su Muxue's palm, stabbed it with cold fingertips, let go of his hand unconsciously, looked up at Su Muxue, saw her dull expression, eyes There are thousands of emotions flickering.

A trace of confusion flashed in Zhou Chiyu's eyes, and Zhou Chiyu was about to speak, but felt the back of his hand slightly cold. It turned out to be Su Muxue's hand, covering the back of her hand, and the fingertips were like butterfly wings struggling to die, cold, trembling lightly, and dying He held her hand tightly, the haze in his eyes disappeared, and the sky was bright and clear.

Zhou Chiyu's wrist trembled violently, and the hand stove he was holding fell to the ground with a loud noise. The panting in the pavilion suddenly stopped, and there were hurried running steps, "Stop!", Zhou Chiyu sternly shouted, her face in the moonlight , cloudy or sunny, flicking sleeves, shaking hands, raising steps, stepping forward, standing in the moonlight, standing tall.

"Your Highness!" Xia Sha stopped suddenly, turned her head in a hurry, her face was startled, her legs became weak and she knelt down on the ground, kowtowed continuously, and begged tremblingly, "Your Highness! Your Highness! Forgive me!!", to the young Her Royal Highness made a big mistake by smashing the matter of mediocrity.

The little grasshopper's face was ashen, his clothes were half-undressed, he stumbled and knelt down, his lips were murmured, unable to speak.

Zhou Chiyu's face was obscure, looking at the exposed skin of the little grasshopper's skirt, in the reflection of the snow, it was white and glaring, reminding her of the white body of the man and woman who ran into the wild sex in the rockery when she was eight years old, Wriggling like a bug, I suddenly felt extremely disgusted, and the anger in my heart was uncontrollable.

"It's lonely in the palace, and the servant was confused for a while, please forgive me, Your Royal Highness!!", Xia Sha was the servant of the princess, relying on some old feelings, repeatedly begging for mercy.

The little grasshopper lowered his head, letting his tears splash on the ground, weeping silently, his slender body trembling.

For some reason, Su Muxue's heart rose. When she learned of her ignorant feelings for Chi Yu, she broke through this situation. She felt uneasy, not because of the two who made mistakes, but because of Zhou Chiyu's attitude.

"Xia Sha was demoted to a third-class court lady, and she was punished to go to the Clothes Bureau," Zhou Chiyu said slowly. Xia Sha kowtowed to thank her and dared not speak. This kind of punishment is considered light.

Zhou Chiyu's eyes slid onto the little grasshopper, and her cold eyes made her shiver, but what chilled her was her next words, "As for you, little grasshopper, you will be expelled from the palace immediately!".

"Your Highness, forgive me!! The servants will stay in the palace!!" The little grasshopper's face was pale, and he glanced at Xia Sha hastily. The courage she had accumulated for a long time was quite different from her cowardly appearance.

Dare to contradict his master, Zhou Chiyu frowned and shouted, "Presumptuous!", the corners of his eyes were sharp, sharp and fierce,

The little grasshopper lowered its head, picked the cold snow with its fingers, and muttered to itself, "All the servants' family members are dead. Now, their bodies are broken, and they cannot marry when they leave the palace, and there is no way out...",

The little grasshopper suddenly turned his head to look at Xia Sha, with thousands of words stuck in his throat, and overflowed, "Sister Sha...",

Little Grasshopper was young when she entered the palace. Due to perennial hunger, her body was very thin and weak. She was always bullied by people in the palace and wiped tears behind her back. It was Xia Sha who protected her and took care of her.

Seven emotions and six desires, the little grasshopper doesn't understand, she only knows that Xia Sha treats her well, and she treats Xia Sha well.Xia Sha said that they are like sisters, they will be together in this life, the little grasshopper is very moved, she regards Xia Sha as the only relative in the world, the best person in this life.She secretly thought that it would be good to just stay in the palace with Sister Sha.

Xia Sha kisses her, touches her, and wants to do such shameful things. She is a little scared, but she believes in Xia Sha, because Xia Sha said that she will be the best person to the little grasshopper, and they should never be separated.

But at this moment, the person who had vowed never to be separated knelt straight on the ground without expression or response.

The little grasshopper showed a gray expression, helpless and desperate. She stood up unsteadily, with a pale face, drooping black hair, and half-undressed clothes, she looked like a ghost without a soul. She looked straight at Xia Sha, angrily Yousi said, "Look at me again..."

Xia Sha trembled when she heard the words, but she didn't dare to raise her head, she kowtowed to the ground, her back slightly bowed, humbled and flinched.

The little grasshopper laughed miserably, and said in a stern voice, "Even if he dies, he will die in the palace!" After finishing speaking, he slammed his head into the pavilion pillar, hearing the sound of chaotic footsteps, Xia Sha cried out in surprise, and her figure swayed , but still knelt on the spot, only the hands in the sleeves were curled tightly, and the nails pierced into the palms.

Su Muxue, who had been on guard for a long time, turned sideways, pulled the little grasshopper by the hem of her clothes, took her back and threw her to the ground.

The little grasshopper fell to the ground, lost all the strength in his body, and cried bitterly, pouring out the indescribable and unspeakable grievances, sorrow, and despair with the sound of weeping.

Su Muxue's eyes were slightly red, and she tilted her head to look at Zhou Chiyu who was standing beside him, motionless. She was as silent as water, and her heart gradually became cold.

Such a weeping voice made people's eyes flush, Xia Sha raised her head unbearably, but saw Zhou Chiyu staring at her, lowered her head again with a sense of threat and oppression, leaving countless painful nails on her palm imprint.

Zhou Chiyu picked up the oil-paper umbrella that Su Muxue had just saved and dropped on the ground, and propped it on top of his head. When he saw the little grasshopper stopped crying, his eyes were dead silent, as if there was nothing there. Chi Yufang walked up to her and asked softly , "Now, do you understand?".

The little grasshopper rolled its eyeballs a little slowly, like a puppet, and nodded slowly. Zhou Chiyu smiled contemptuously, and asked mockingly, "Tell me what you understand?".

The little grasshopper came back to his senses, his eyes were empty, his voice was hoarse, and he said in a calm voice, "What kind of sisterhood is just a mirror image, and the relationship between women is even more unbearable and shameless than the relationship between men and women, which is contrary to Lund. If you throw a stone, you will die if you touch it. The servants are disobedient and unethical, and everything they do today is their own end."

Zhou Chiyu pursed his lips, his lips were thin and penetrating, and nodded his head, "It's a child who can be taught, so let's send him to Changning Palace." Even though it is a cold palace, at least he has food and a place to live, the little grasshopper is satisfied, and thanked His Highness.

Turning around to leave, Zhou Chiyu seemed to remember something, turned around and asked, "Do you have something to say to Xia Sha?",

The little grasshopper looked ahead, without looking at Xia Sha again, and said without hesitation, "This, life, no, see",

Xia Sha's body trembled violently when she heard the words, and she lowered her head. There were faintly bright water droplets falling from the eye sockets, falling on the palace bricks, and converging in the eyes of the ancient beasts carved on the blue bricks, which was terrifying and terrifying.

Zhou Chiyu snorted slightly, turned around and walked back, his phoenix eyes flew sideways, glanced at Su Muxue behind him, and motioned for her to follow, but he saw Su Muxue standing aside with a pale face.

The crimson official uniform with a tight belt made her look thin and slender.It turned out that in the eyes of my young self, the tall and tall woman I looked up to was now only a little taller than me.

"Did Muxue catch a cold?" Zhou Chiyu asked puzzledly, seeing the light snow accumulated on the top of Su Muxue's hair, he raised his sleeve to brush it away with her, but saw Su Muxue dodging hastily, his face turned blue.

Zhou Chiyu withdrew his hand, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "Hold the umbrella", and handed the umbrella in his hand to Su Muxue, Su Muxue took it in a trance, the smooth handle still retained the warmth of Zhou Chiyu's palm, but Su Muxue felt cold, biting, and cool swept the whole body.

Serving as Zuo Adviser caused Su Muxue a lot of trouble in the court. Such an official position was bestowed on a female official, and for Su Muxue, who was only sixteen years old, she was indeed entrusted with a heavy responsibility.

Su Muxue was so terrified that she didn't dare to take it lightly, she stayed in the official residence for more than a month, and didn't even return to Su's house.

"Lord Su", Su Muxue was wearing a crimson official uniform and a silver fish bag. When she came out of the court hall, she saw the second prince Zhou Ren standing under the tree, covered in snow, wearing a crimson python robe, with a gentle smile on his gentle face .

Zhou Ren is the son of Empress Su Xin, and Su Muxue's cousin. He was close to him when he was a child, and he hasn't seen him for many years, but he is still close.

"Second prince", Su Muxue saluted and smiled back, Zhou Ren bowed and said, "There is no need to be too polite", the two exchanged greetings under the tree, from a distance, it was Moshang flowers blooming, a gentleman like jade.

Zhou Chiyu stood in the plum grove, his eyes full of blooming plum blossoms, the faint fragrance floating, the white fox fur on the side of the cloak fluttering in the wind, the coolness dyed the brows, the makeup was lightly applied, and his posture was graceful,

Xia Ling saw that she had stood there for a while, the stove might be warm, so she reminded, "Your Highness, it's cold outside, be careful of your bones",

"In a few days, I'm afraid it will wither. The crab claw lotus has not bloomed for a long time, but this one is approaching the flowering period," Zhou Chiyu said calmly, with melancholy, "It's the beginning of spring today, but it's time to come. I think Master Su hasn't come for more than a month." Xia Ling said, she usually sees Su Muxue running into the palace every now and then, but now she hasn't seen her for a long time.

Zhou Chiyu raised his brows slightly, his eyes were slightly cold, and dismissed Xia Ling, "I will stay here later, you go down first", Xia Ling took the order to retreat.

Zhou Chiyu walked to the depths of the plum grove, and there was a sound of breaking wind. Zhou Chiyu caught a piece of flying broken bamboo with her fingers. She looked around, lowered her head and took off the paper in the broken bamboo, her face getting colder.According to the note, the second prince, Zhou Ren, and the third prince, Zhou Yue, each pleaded for orders in the Jinluan Hall, and they are willing to go on an annual spring tour of the south for Emperor Jinghong, to show compassion for the people and show that the emperor cares for the people.

And the second prince suggested that Su Muxue, who was in charge of satirical advice, be invited to go with him, so as to convey the public sentiment to the imperial court. Su Muxue, who was newly appointed Lord Zuo Sijian, readily agreed.

He readily agreed, Zhou Chiyu's eyes were deep, Su Muxue had a very close relationship with the empress, and it was only natural that she got close to the second prince, but Su Muxue said that she was standing by her side.

Either because she was busy with work and forgot to sleep or eat, or because she was carrying on her mind, Su Muxue's figure quickly lost weight, and she would hold a candle at her desk every night, not daring to have a moment of free time to think wildly.

Cao Ping was dismissed to investigate, Liu Mingqing was transferred from the capital, Xue Gui and Xiaobing went to the court, Xue faction hid the limelight in the court, kept a low profile, the Su and Xue factions feared each other, and formed a stalemate.
