Sui'er squatted beside Ah Wan for a while, but still did not see Xiao Lingming coming back. Although she knew that nothing would happen to him in the palace, she still felt uneasy and went to look for it herself.

However, she searched around the inner hall and couldn't find anyone, so she had to pretend to be casual, and asked the waiters in the outer courtyard to ask, and only then did she get the news that the tea had been served in the Gongtang.

Sui'er sent people to prevent them from following and searched there alone, and when he heard the movement in the corridor outside the tribute hall, he probably understood what he was doing.

Immediately, she stomped her feet helplessly and anxiously thought: What if the sage finds out about all this mess, and she is a little annoyed with Song Xian. After all, in her heart, Xiao Lingming is the best in the world, so naturally it is Song Xian's fault.

But Sui'er could only slander a few words from the bottom of her heart, she still sighed and went back to get two sets of clean clothes and put them under the snack tray, and went back to the tribute hall alone.

When she got to the porch, she intentionally did not cover up the movement of her walk, put down the tray at the door, sat on the porch, poured herself a cup of cold tea and waited quietly.

Sure enough, not long after, there was a soft "Small?" Xiao Lingming's voice couldn't be heard much, but it was a little more nasal than usual.

"Slave is here." Sui'er put down the tea bowl, answered, holding the clothes with one hand, and pushed open the door with the other.

The special aroma of tribute oil in the room mixed with the sweet and bitter incense on Xiao Lingming's body, making people think for no reason of the murals on the esoteric Buddhist temple murals about joy and joy.Although it is a spice bestowed by saints and ambergris is used as the base, the first time she smelled this smell, she felt that it was too attractive, and it made her feel hairy.

Sui'er had been serving close to her for a long time, so she had nothing to avoid, so she took her clothes and walked inside.

On the ground, Xiao Lingming's decorations and Song Xian's plain clothes were tangled together and fell to the ground. Both of them were sitting with only loose inner clothes on.

Sui'er went forward and knelt down, took the clean clothes and tidied them for Xiao Lingming first, and did not forget to explain to Song Xian: "Your clothes will be burned according to the old rules. It's just that there are no plain clothes in the palace. If you can choose an elegant color, no one will notice it when it gets dark at night, so you can change it when you go back to the temple."

Song Xian lowered his head and hummed, he was holding a piece of soft cloth torn off from nowhere in his hand, and he was wiping the sticky white matter on his face little by little, "You can coax Xian'er to waste, This son-in-law has never done this to the things raised in the mansion." The words were sour, but there was no grievance on his face, it was clear that something happened.

"I'm going to take a bath in a while, so I'll just wear it briefly." Xiao Lingming stopped Sui'er from hanging the sachet around his waist, and looked at Song Xian wistfully, thinking it was funny.

Sui'er finished Xiao Lingming completely, and went forward to straighten Song Xian's skirt and belt.

"I'll go first, or it will be too late to attract people's attention." Song Xian looked at his clothes up and down, and slowly got up when he felt that his clothes were not too different, then turned around when he walked to the door, and walked to the seat where he was sitting. In front of Xiao Lingming who poured tea and wiped his hands in a calm manner, "It's fine if you don't see me off..." He didn't finish the second half of the sentence, but just looked down at Xiao Lingming with a smile.

Xiao Lingming was used to his routine so many times and it was a little subtle to benefit him. He also waved to Song Xian with a smile, then bent over and pecked him on the lips, "Go."

On the thirteenth, half a month, it's slow or fast.

Except for sneaking out on the first day, Song Xian stayed in Mizhu Temple, burning incense, chanting scriptures, prostrating and burning tribute, feeling like time passed in the blink of an eye.

When he came out to kowtow at the Hanyuan Hall after the thirteenth day, the emperor's body was still not fully recovered, so he ordered Li Fu to announce the reward, and Xiao Lingming who came out to see him on behalf of the emperor pointed Suier to take him to his residence.

Song Xian naturally understood that Xiao Lingming saw that Sui'er had been locked up in the palace for the past few months, and he just found an excuse to let her go out to play for a while.

But this time, because of the emperor's reward, it is not as casual as before. The main concubine and the two side concubines have to go to the main hall of the palace to greet them and kowtow to thank them.

After such an accident, Yu Ya didn't look as fresh as before, she looked haggard and thin like a wicker that would break when it was folded.Song Xian always treated her with respect, and helped her up with both hands, "Be careful."

When he said this, he was very close, the neckline was staggered from the neck, and a light red mark that had almost disappeared but could still be seen hit Yu Ya's eyes like a blood-stained blade.

Yu Ya's other hand, which was holding Wenyue's, clenched tightly—Gong Li!It can only be people in the palace!

——The birth mother's death anniversary, under the eyes of the emperor and concubine!

What Yu Ya thought about at this moment was like a slap in the face, and she subconsciously slapped Sui'er.

Sui'er held the gift list, met her eyes, and felt startled, "What's wrong with the princess?" She thought about it and asked, her tone not very polite.After all, even in the palace, the only ones who can show her face are Saint and Xiao Lingming, and even Song Xian is polite to her.

She was just a blunt statement, but when it fell into Yu Ya's ears, it completely changed its taste, and became a provocation and a demonstration.It's just that Yu Ya didn't forget to put her face back, and squeezed out a shriveled smile, "It's because I'm feeling unwell for a while, auntie, don't blame me." Then she said: "It's raining outside, auntie, drink a cup of tea before leaving."

Song Xian looked at Yu Ya's pale face, held her hand and rubbed it, and said softly: "Sui'er will come back after dinner, you are not feeling well, go back and rest first, don't be tired. Sui'er Not an outsider, it doesn't matter."

The resentment and resentment in Yu Ya's heart was all suppressed by her heart, and she didn't want to keep it, so she nodded, and led Wenyue and the three or five maidservants behind her to salute and exited the main hall.

Back at Tanyuan, after Wenyue sent everyone out and closed the door, Yu Ya couldn't help but smashed the teacup, and let out all the things that were stuck in her heart, "Isn't Sui'er Outsiders?! Then I am?”

"She urged the imperial concubine to take Ah Wan to her to raise her. Now that I'm not well, she can't wait to come to my house to show my face."

"I'm not dead yet! Do you think I've already half-stepped into the door of Prince Rui's mansion?" Yu Ya became more and more angry as she spoke, her chest kept rising and falling, and a trace of cruelty flashed in her eyes suddenly, "...if the emperor I should be a bit afraid of the imperial concubine supporting her, since I got the right words last time."

"——Such a servant who is dedicated to climbing high branches, I will make her dreams shatter, knock out her teeth and swallow her blood."

Wenyue patted her on the back, feeling very distressed about her situation, and immediately said: "It's just a big-hearted servant girl, whatever the girl wants, the slave will do it, but girl, don't be angry anymore, your body can't take it anymore. of."

……

Because it was raining heavily outside and the night was deep, Xiao Lingming intentionally waited for Sui'er to come back, and for this reason he deliberately delayed the emperor's summoning.

Sui'er came back much later than usual. When she entered the hall, her hair, trousers, cuffs and cuffs were all wet, she just lowered her head and put away the umbrella and handed it to the little maid who was already waiting in the corridor of the inner hall.

A little maid over here received the umbrella, and immediately three or two servants knelt and wiped off the water on the corridor. Sui'er was helped by two little maids to change into the soft-soled palace shoes, and then she barely walked into the inner hall.

Xiao Lingming came out when he heard the commotion, saw her wet temple hair, reached out to touch it, and then poked Sui'er's face, and said with concern on his face: "It's still drenched, I should have known it was raining outside. I won’t let you go to the street quietly and come back alone, you should directly ask someone to go to Song Xian’s mansion to pick you up.”

Sui'er dodged subconsciously, shook her head again, and said in a low tone, "It's not so delicate."

Xiao Lingming didn't feel anything wrong, thought she was freezing in the rain, took her wet blouse by himself, put it on the tray offered by the palace man kneeling, felt something wrong again, picked it up and looked at it, "How can I change it?" Put on clothes?"

Sui'er turned her back to him and took the towel from the palace man to wipe the water from her hair, "I bought it on the street because I thought it looked good, but I got caught in the rain when I put it on. Not going out..."

Xiao Lingming couldn't see her face, he just thought she was aggrieved that the new clothes were wet, he raised his hand and rubbed her little head, coaxing her: "Just send someone out to buy another one later, it's just a dress He also said: "The sage summoned me. I have delayed until now. I will go when you come back. Remember to use some ginger slices to drive away the cold when you take a bath. You can go to Hanyuan Hall when you wake up tomorrow."
