Yingluo and another maid, Qiong Yao, were waiting outside the door to be summoned. Suddenly, there was a jingling sound in the room, as if the sky was falling apart. Qiong Yao was startled and wanted to turn around and open the door to see what happened, but Yingluo saw the opportunity very quickly. , grabbed Qiong Yao's arm, pressed her half-open mouth, and shook her head hastily.

Seeing this, Qiong Yao pressed the question that was about to come out into her throat, and Yingluo pulled her back two steps to avoid making a noise when she touched the door beam, turned around and lowered her eyes as if she hadn't heard the sound inside the door for half a minute.

Qiong Yao didn't understand Ying Luo's meaning, but Ying Luo served He Lanfu personally, and she must have a reason for every move she made. Qiong Yao was not a girl with a vertical bun, and knew that many things were beyond her own control, so she had to put aside her doubts and continue to stay by her side just like Ying Luo. Both sides of the porch.

It took a long time for the loud noise in the room to stop, and Yingluo let out a sigh of relief, but before the breath came out of her lips, He Lanfu's loud laughter came out of the silent room for a moment.

Even Yingluo is now full of astonishment.Who in Nantang Harem didn't know that the Lan Jieyu she served rarely smiled, seeing her smile was three points harder than the Bodhisattva Buddha in the Buddhist hall and temple, let alone such a disrespectful laugh.Now I can hear laughter in the room, but Yingluo's heart is cold from the inside of her chest to her outside, she just feels a chill all over her body.

The two maidservants looked at each other, Qiongyao stayed in fearing that something might happen, and was grabbed by Yingluo again as she approached the door.Yingluo thought for a while, and gestured to her to look around and not let irrelevant people approach, while she put her ear on the crack of the door and listened carefully to the movement in the room.

Yingluo was assigned to serve by He Lanfu's side after she entered the palace. Although she was not very close to He Lanfu, she always knew He Lanfu better than other maids.It was not the first time that the house was smashed and smashed, especially after His Majesty went to bed, He Lanfu never let people wait on him, and occasionally made such a fuss after driving people outside the door.It was the first time that Yingluo was frightened when she heard the strange sound. Fortunately, at that time, He Lanfu's status was low and there were not many maidservants who served her personally. Things never got out of the way.The more times Yingluo got used to it, and He Lanfu later restrained her temper a lot and never lost her temper again. Yingluo also said that she gradually saw it, and never thought that the old behavior would worsen today.

The laughter gradually stopped, but Yingluo didn't dare to slack off, and her ears were tightly pressed together, for fear of missing something that shouldn't happen.Fortunately, there was no sound of heavy objects falling to the ground. Yingluo kept thinking of Amitabha Buddha in her heart, and only hoped that He Lanfu would open the door as soon as possible, so that her intestines, liver, stomach and lungs could return to their original positions with peace of mind.

Probably the Buddha really heard Yingluo's prayer today, and the wooden door that Yingluo's ears were attached to suddenly opened inward.The incident happened suddenly, Ying Luo lost her balance and almost fell into the door, she struggled to get back on her feet, and when she looked up, she saw He Lanfu standing inside the door, looking at her coldly.

Hearing that the root of the wall was being caught, Yingluo quickly stepped back and knelt on the ground with Qiong Yao, the two were trembling and did not dare to make a sound.

After waiting for a long time, the voice seemed to be mixed with smoothies before he rang out coldly: "I have been away to wait for the illness for a few days, has Concubine Jing come here before?"

After hearing the question, Qiong Yao dared to raise her head that was resting on the stone slab, and replied respectfully: "Go back to your empress, Concubine Jing has never been here before."

"No one in her palace has been here?"

"Concubine Jinggui has not sent anyone here recently."

Yingluo and Qiong Yao seemed to be in a trance as they heard a sneer, and after a while, He Lanfu heard He Lanfu say: "Prepare the car and go to Linghuan Palace."

Yingluo heard the order to go to Linghuan Palace, and immediately knew that He Lanfu had no intention of punishing her, so she dared to stand up.Qiong Yao also stood up, bowed back and went to order the car to be ready, but after walking two steps, she heard He Lanfu calling her name again.

Qiong Yaofu knelt down again, feeling uneasy, not wanting He Lanfu to walk past her, but said coldly: "Go get some medicine later, don't leave a scar on your face."

Qiong Yao was stunned, and stroked her forehead with her finger. She was afraid that He Lanfu would be severely punished if she heard the strange movement. She kowtowed regardless of the severity, but the sand on the ground made a wound on her forehead, and some blood splattered out.But before she could thank her, He Lanfu had already traveled far with Yingluo.

Not long after He Lanfu came back, the saddle horse of the cart hadn't been unloaded yet, so when He Lanfu walked to the gate of the palace, the cart was already ready and waiting.

He Lanfu went straight around Li Siqi, who had fallen into a coma and collapsed on the ground, and was supported by Yingluo into the car.

Only now did Yingluo have a chance to sneak a peek at He Lanfu taking a shower and changing clothes. The makeup on her face had been washed off, revealing her original alluring face. Her expression was indifferent and indifferent, no different from usual. There was no trace of laughing and anger ?But for some reason, Yingluo felt that He Lanfu's expression at this moment was a little colder than usual, the indescribably biting coldness made one's heart startled.

All the way without a word, the car drove to Linghuan Palace, He Lanfu asked the rest of the people to wait outside the door, and only let Yingluo accompany him.

Today's Linghuan Palace is not as good as in the past, it can be said that there are few people there.There is no guard in front of the door, the copper door is half-opened and half-closed, and the crown of an acacia tree against the wall is half-extended outside the wall, and the autumn leaves fall with the wind, covering the corner of the wall with fragments, which is indescribably lonely and desolate.

He Lanfu looked at the fallen leaves on the ground, his brows furrowed and then opened again, and he led Yingluo straight into the courtyard.Halfway through the walk, I saw two maids from a yellow gate huddled under a porch talking and laughing. The three of them obviously didn't notice He Lanfu's arrival, and they fanned their hands while chatting and laughing happily. It is slow and lazy.

He Lanfu snorted coldly and walked towards the porch, the three of them heard the sound and turned their heads to see He Lanfu.He Lanfu ignored the three of them, walked through the porch, turned left and right, walked for a while and arrived in front of an exquisite building, and finally saw Xia Ruoqing's personal maid, Wan Rong, sitting in a daze in the garden in front of the building.

The corners of He Lanfu's lips were tightly pursed, and the chill on his face became even more chilly. He said in a deep voice, "You don't wait on your master with you, and you also follow the example of those servants to take time away?"

Wan Rong was taken aback for a moment, and when she came back to her senses and saw that it was He Lanfu, she hurriedly saluted, and replied: "Lan Jieyu is safe. It's the lady who wants to take a nap. She thinks the servant is making trouble with her, so she won't let the servant serve by her side. The servant can only be at the door Waiting outside to be summoned."

"Nonsense, you are far away in this small garden, if Qingqing calls you, how can you hear me!"

"Back to Lan Jieyu, I really don't dare to talk nonsense. It is indeed the empress who ordered the servant to stay in this garden. The empress has been sleeping restlessly these days, and she will be awakened by the slightest sound. Therefore, no one is allowed to wait for the empress to sleep. It is within ten feet of her bedroom."

He Lanfu squinted at Wanrong for a while, then waved her to get up, and asked, "Since when did it start?"

"It's more than [-] years old. The people from the Royal Hospital didn't see anything. They just let the empress rest in peace."

"En." He Lanfu was noncommittal, looked at the small building and said, "How long has Qingqing been sleeping? I'll go and see her."

As soon as He Lanfu took a step, Wan Rong stopped in front of her, bowed and said anxiously: "Lan Jieyu, my mother told her not to be disturbed by others when she was resting. My mother couldn't sleep at night, and she lost a lot of weight. Jieyu, you and your empress are the best friends. It is rare for your empress to rest for a while today. I beg Jieyu to be merciful and let your empress sleep for a while. How about asking Jieyu to move to Linglong Pavilion and wait for a while? It's time to wake up soon, and then the servant will..."

He Lanfu remained silent, but sneered.Wan Rong bit the bullet and said later, her voice gradually weakened, she hung her head and dared not speak again.

He Lanfu pointed at Yingluo, and said, "You and her are waiting in this garden, and you are not allowed to come in without a summons."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for words of condolence, he went straight to the small building.

The wooden door was only slightly closed, and it opened with a push of the plain hand, and an unusually strong fragrance came to the nostrils immediately.He Lanfu couldn't help covering his nose with his sleeve, the wrinkles between his brows deepened.

Familiar up the stairs, opened the curtain on the second floor, the scent at the end of the nose became more intense, as if it was tangible, He Lanfu gasped for several times before he went up to see the situation inside the curtain.

The bright building in the past was completely pitch-black, and the window lattice seemed to be covered with thick paper indoors to isolate the bright sunlight from the outside. There was only a faint candlelight beating on the left hand side, which was separated by a layer of tulle. It seems indistinct, and will not be destroyed.

He Lanfu squinted his eyes, and there seemed to be a figure sitting by the side of the candlelight, motionless, it was unclear in the dark, whether it was a real person or a phantom.

He Lanfu gritted his teeth tightly against the pressure of depression in his chest, and without making a sound, he opened the gauze curtain and walked towards the figure quietly.

Passing through two layers of gauze curtains, He Lanfu finally saw clearly by the light of the candle that there was indeed a person sitting with his back on the side of the candle, wearing only his inner underwear, with black hair scattered on the ground, motionless, and a knee-length kneeling beside him. The three-legged censer was overturned on the ground, and most of the unburned incense powder was scattered all over the place, presumably the rich and choking fragrance in the building came from here.

At this point, He Lanfu couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted in a deep voice: "Xia Ruoqing! What are you doing?!"

Her delicate body trembled suddenly, her head moved slightly, causing her hair to reach the ground like waves.Xia Ruoqing turned her head slowly, and after a while she seemed to realize that someone was approaching, and then she was stunned for a moment before she said in a trembling voice, "Helan... sister...?"

What He Lanfu looked at was Xia Ruoqing's inch-long dagger held in his left hand.Just now Xia Ruoqing was hidden by her long hair, but now that Xia Ruoqing turned around, the candlelight reflected the cold light on it, and there was still a drop of bright red on the blade, which rolled down the blood groove on the edge and fell to the ground, instantly covering the ground. The ashes are covered.

Not caring to say anything, He Lanfu rubbed his body and threw himself on the dagger and snatched it away. When he got closer, he found that Xia Ruoqing's right sleeve was soaked with blood. It's more than three inches.

He Lanfu's expression changed in shock, he tore off a strip from the hem of Xia Ruoqing's obscene clothes, and hurriedly wrapped it around his arm to prevent bleeding.

After the injured arm was tied up, He Lanfu dared to look at the wound with peace of mind. Fortunately, although the wound was long, it was not deep.He Lanfu's heart was anxious and painful, as if she was the one who was hurt, her whole body couldn't stop shaking, she gritted her teeth and asked word by word: "Xia Ruoqing! What are you doing!"
