Pet official

A few days later, the wound on Ruan Yunqing's body scabbed over, but there was still no news from Song Ru.

Because of the injury on his body, he couldn't go to Duanhua Palace to study at night, and Song Ren couldn't come. The closeness and caring in the past became more and more blurred in his memory. Is everything in the past just a dream of my own?

The longer the days, the more uneasy Ruan Yunqing felt.He was preoccupied all day long, Ruan Baosheng saw peace in his eyes, and he also got angry.Helplessly, Ruan Yunqing refused to say anything, and always pretended to be happy that nothing happened in front of the two of them.The more he was like this, the more Ruan Baosheng felt sad when they saw it.

Her body is better, and she can walk around with the help of the bed, so Ruan Yunqing doesn't want to bother Ruan Baosheng and the two of them anymore.He repeatedly said that he was fine, so that the two of them would not have to work hard all day long, and guarded by him.Ruan Baosheng is not willing to listen, he still clicks on time every day, and buys him some food in different ways, afraid that Ruan Yunqing will be bored, so he asks Pingxi to secretly take out some ancient books from the Shuyu Pavilion to Ruan Yunqing relieve boredom.

Ruan Yunqing was grateful in his heart, and he didn't want to feel sorry for himself anymore. He cheered up, and besides reading books every day, he just called Mo Zheng over to ask him about the news collected by the Yingjun brothers recently, and then sorted it out to see if there was any case of the prince being poisoned. new clues.

A few more days passed like this, and in the blink of an eye, more than a month had passed since the racecourse incident. Ruan Yunqing did not wait for the news of Song Ren, but waited for the edict of Empress Wei.

He suffered fifty punishments and couldn't even get out of bed. Naturally, he was exempted from all duty and other duties, and he didn't have to serve in front of Queen Wei.Ruan Baosheng greeted Zheng Changchun earlier, and left Ruan Yunqing to recover from his injuries in Likun Palace. They have lived together peacefully for more than a month, and at this time, Empress Wei suddenly called Ruan Yunqing over.

Several people were startled, guessed anxiously for a while, but did not guess why, Ruan Yunqing hurriedly said: "Anyway, I can't hide, I will know when I go."

Ruan Baosheng sighed, hurriedly changed Ruan Yunqing's clothes with Hepingxi, and sent him out together.

Ruan Yunqing turned back with a smile, comforted Ruan Baosheng and the two, and said, "I'll go back as soon as I go."

Ruan Baosheng and Hepingxi were not only not at ease, on the contrary, their hearts were all agitated.

He hadn't gone out for a month, Ruan Yunqing was flustered and out of breath after walking for a while, and the wound on his body was still aching. He walked for a while and rested for a full meal before arriving at the door of the Queen's bedroom.

At this moment, Empress Wei was sitting by the window, talking to someone.

Standing in front of her was a man in black. The man's face was covered with a human skin mask. His face was as expressionless as dead ashes. When he spoke, the skin on his face didn't move at all. Coupled with his hoarse and cold voice, it was simply Like a dead man just crawling out of a coffin.

The man said coldly: "Have you thought it through? I can only do three things for you. Killing Xiao Changfu is already counted as one thing. Now if you open your mouth again, it is already the second thing."

The expression on Empress Wei's face was not much better than that man's.Her complexion was pale, no fat was applied on her face, and the color on her lips was light. Under the light, she looked almost dead.

The two of them sat and stood one step apart, there was no one else in the room, and only a single lamp was lit in the huge dormitory, making the atmosphere in the room even more eerie.

Empress Wei nodded lightly, "Since I'm looking for you, I must have thought it through clearly. If you fetch the veil for me, it will be considered that you have done the second thing for me."

The eyes under the mask flashed like cold stars, the man stared straight at Empress Wei's face, paused for a while, and then asked, "What kind of veil?"

Empress Wei was facing out of the window, her eyes were distracted, her thoughts had been distracted by past memories, and the man's questioning did not bring her thoughts back to reality. Said: "March is his favorite, the peach trees are in bloom, and the falling petals are colorful..."

She didn't know what to think of, as if she had been called out all of a sudden, she suddenly came back to her senses.The smile on her face receded, and Empress Wei returned to her cold face.She turned around and said to the man, "What did you just say?"

The man frowned, "If you don't want to live a life like this, you can ask me to take you away."

"Leave?" Empress Wei smiled wryly: "It's late!"

She laughed miserably, which was uglier than crying, "It's too late to talk about this now."

She spent her most beautiful youth in this imperial city. She fought, robbed, hated, and complained. Now she is no longer the innocent and lively girl she was back then. My painstaking efforts, lost my former lover, and only got the current cold post, whether it is worth it or not, I'm afraid I can only see it after she dies.

Empress Wei covered her face with her hands, her slender palms covered her face, covering her distorted expression and all the unwillingness in her heart.

Empress Wei only allowed herself to lose control for a moment, and quickly covered her emotions. She returned to her previous dignified and indifferent appearance, without a trace of anger in her tone, and slowly talked about the appearance of the veil to the man, "I want you to find Yes, it is a plain white cotton veil, with a ginger fruit embroidered on it. Green grass sprouts, goose yellow ginger fruit, and the corners are sewn with silk thread in the color of peach and rice. That veil should be in the office of the Rites now. inside."

The man looked at Empress Wei's pale face, nodded lightly, and replied, "Got it."

He didn't say any more, he agreed, and followed him out of the window, disappearing into a peach blossom forest in a blink of an eye.

Empress Wei was the only one left in the room. She turned her eyes from the window to the inside of the room, and looked at the empty room, which was full of luxury, painted with gold and colors everywhere, and the gauze curtains on Babu's bed were layered on top of each other, complicated and gorgeous. It's still empty, as if it can't be filled.

"Gone...you are all gone...after all, I am the only one left..."

She muttered to herself, with indescribable misery in her words, and when she said that she was the only one left, tears rolled down her eyes long ago.

Zheng Changchun came in to answer, Empress Wei quickly wiped away the tears on her face, and asked, "Is someone here?"

Zheng Changchun didn't dare to raise his head, he just lowered his head and answered: "Yes."

"Let him in."

Zheng Changchun withdrew, and after a while, he brought Ruan Yunqing into the dormitory.

Empress Wei raised her eyes and saw that Ruan Yunqing was kneeling on the red carpet in front of her, leaning over with her hands folded, looking thinner and smaller.

"Get up."

Empress Wei asked Zheng Changchun to bring a chair, and put it in front of the soft couch she was sitting on.

"sit."

Ruan Yunqing kowtowed and said, "It's fine for the servant to kneel and talk."

Empress Wei was angry in her words, and said impatiently: "If you are told to sit, you can sit."

Ruan Yunqing got up now, bowed to thank her, and sat down on the chair.

Empress Wei carefully looked at the person in front of her, Ruan Yunqing had a handsome appearance, she had grown a little taller recently than when she first came here, and the handsomeness of a young man was revealed between her brows and eyes.

This young man, at such a young age, has a wide network of connections, from the crown prince to the imperial physician, not only does he recognize all of them, but he also has a close relationship with him, for his sake, he even went against himself openly.

Empress Wei looked at Ruan Yunqing with a little scrutiny in her eyes. She looked at Ruan Yunqing carefully from top to bottom, and she became more certain in her heart that the relationship between this child and the crown prince was by no means simple.

"Is the injury all healed?"

Empress Wei was silent for a while, and suddenly asked, Ruan Yunqing was surprised when she heard it.He calmed down, and then replied: "Go back to your mother, it's almost better now."

"Well, it's fine."

Empress Wei waved to Zheng Changchun, and Zheng Changchun immediately went to the table and brought a vermilion lacquer plate.The plate was covered with a big red cloth to block the contents of the plate tightly.

Empress Wei stretched out her hand to uncover the red cloth, "For the matter of the torture rod, don't hate me in your heart. As a parent, anyone who hears that their children escaped from death will panic. Take these supplements back to nourish your body. The things are not expensive, but they are all tributes from all over the world, and you can’t buy them easily outside, so it can be regarded as a little bit of my heart.”

Zheng Changchun held the plate up to Ruan Yunqing, Ruan Yunqing glanced at it, and saw that there were two high-quality wild ginseng, several boxes of donkey-hide gelatin, a basket of Poria cocos cream, and many precious medicinal materials.The mountain ginseng is already in human form, and it looks like it is more than a hundred years old. Not only is it precious, but it is also quite difficult to find. This one is worth a lot. If there is someone who is eager to use this thing to continue the life of the family, it will be ten thousand taels of silver. , are not worried about selling.

This dish is worth more than ten thousand gold.It was like a hot potato, making Ruan Yunqing restless.He hurriedly stood up and refused: "These things are too expensive, I dare not take them."

Empress Wei nodded, "I knew you were considerate and sensible. When you go to the Duanhua Palace in the future, you should serve the prince well and not let me down."

Ruan Yunqing's eyes widened, and she couldn't believe her ears.

Empress Wei smiled and said, "What? Are you scared? What's so surprising about this? The crown prince came to beg you, saying that you are considerate and considerate, and wants you to serve him as an errand in Duanhua Palace."

Empress Wei observed Ruan Yunqing's expression, and said again: "Speaking of which, this matter is indeed strange, no wonder you reacted like this. I have been in the palace for more than [-] years, and I have only heard that sons go to their mothers to beg for love. Maid, this is the first time I heard that someone openly came to beg for the little eunuch."

Ruan Yunqing couldn't help but change color upon hearing this.There has been no movement from Song Yi, Ruan Yunqing almost thought that he had given up on him, the racecourse incident has become known to everyone, and now everyone in the palace knows that the prince blatantly violated the Queen's order for a small eunuch, and even did not hesitate to kill him. Send a scapegoat and punish the little eunuch.

Court anecdotes are already arousing people's imagination, not to mention that Song Ju is getting older, and there has never been any romantic affairs around him. The words spread quickly in the imperial city and even the court, as if they had grown wings. Everyone is craning their necks now, waiting to see how things play out.

Ruan Yunqing never expected that Song Ju would transfer herself to Duanhua Palace.He was agitated for a while, happy for a while, and flustered for a while, all kinds of emotions rushed into his heart. He had been frightened for so many days, and now instead of alleviating, he became even more flustered.

Ruan Yunqing's face was full of shock and confusion, and Empress Wei couldn't tell whether he wanted to go or not.

She asked Zheng Changchun to give the vermilion lacquer plate to Ruan Yunqing's hand, and said: "These things are just dead objects, you don't need to take it to heart. In the future, you will become the prince's personal servant, and we will be a family. Gong has never treated his own people badly, this thing is just an introduction, and the rewards in the future will naturally be indispensable to you."

When Empress Wei mentioned the word "one of my own people", she deliberately emphasized the tone, and then mentioned the word "reward". Seeing that Ruan Yunqing seemed unmoved, she smiled again: "You went to Duanhua Palace, You must take good care of the prince, he will be in better health, and he must have a caring servant to help him handle all affairs. There is no chief eunuch in Duanhua Palace. Although you are young, you can handle things safely, my palace I will seal you in front of the Qipin Palace, and when you arrive at the Duanhua Palace, you will temporarily act as the chief eunuch."
