Jiang Rao just rested on Rong Ting's heart, and followed his heartbeat, breathing heavily, her nose getting more and more sour. Not long after, he gradually fell asleep.

Rong Ting had always slept less, and woke up after an hour or three. If it was only himself on the couch, he would have stood up at this moment, looked at Jiang Rao, who was sleeping soundly in his heart, and waited until the twilight was all around. When Jiang Rao blinked his eyelashes and looked like he was about to wake up, he suddenly closed his eyes and his breathing slowed down.

In his mind, he remembered how the little girl was sleeping on his chest.

reluctant.

He really was reluctant.

Even if she is disgusted with her heart, except for him, in exchange for her family and little friends, in exchange for her reluctance to keep her in a place where no one can see except him, as she thought in her heart.

I can't bear to see the sad expression on this face.

When Jiang Rao woke up, she blinked twice, realizing that she had also fallen asleep unconsciously, and blushed with shame, looking at Rong Ting as if she was not awake, and the arm on her was loosened, she In a hurry, taking advantage of this rare opportunity, I stayed and walked to the rosewood table.

The medicine brought in by the maid was cold, and the bowl was placed on the table. Jiang Rao walked over and tried the bowl, blaming herself for her drowsiness, thinking that Rong Ting was too tired, so let him sleep for a while and wait for the medicine to be cooked. Wake him up again, who would have thought that she would fall asleep with her.

Jiang Rao carefully took the medicine bowl and went out, thinking that before Rong Ting woke up, she would ask the kitchen to fry a new medicine and bring it over.

She went out and went to the bed to take a look, seeing that Rong Ting's figure did not move, it seemed that he was sleeping, and the distress in her heart rose to the extreme.

She had never seen him sleep for so long during the day, it seemed that he was really exhausted these days.

Jiang Rao tried her best to keep her steps light. After she went out, she saw a few maids cleaning the yard and called one of them over, "Your Highness, have you had a good meal at noon?"

The maid was exactly the one Jiang Rao had instructed to help leave a message for Rong Ting.

"His Royal Highness doesn't seem to have any appetite, the dishes haven't moved much, and he doesn't seem to be in a good mood. He looks like he's going to lose his temper..."

Jiang Rao's brows and eyes dimmed for a while, then stopped and asked seriously, "How many dishes are there at lunch today?"

The little girl thought that Jiang Rao was going to question the kitchen side, so she panicked a little for the people on the kitchen side, but instead she answered 1510.

After Jiang Rao heard this, she became even more suspicious.

The dishes mentioned by the maid are not in the front kitchen.

She hasn't done it before, she can't remember everything clearly, and now she can't remember how Rong Ting reacted to these dishes before...

She pursed her lips and drew her eyebrows together.

The maid just now said that he was going to lose his temper...

She can hardly associate the tantrum with Rong Ting now.

Could it be that the maid made a mistake?

...

Ten days later, Shuxiang Palace sent a letter to Jiang Rao, and Concubine Yun Gui called Jiang Rao into the palace to see her.

After Jiang Rao came to Shuxiang Palace, she saw that Concubine Yun Gui was wearing a very pure bean-green robe, with almost no makeup on her body, and she didn't have the extravagant style of the past.

Emperor Zhaowu was seriously ill, and Concubine Yun also fell in love with plain colors.

She faces the sky every day, and dresses neatly.

A Buddha statue was enshrined in Shuxiang Palace, and Concubine Yungui recited sutras and prayed for Emperor Zhaowu every day.

Jiang Rao worshiped three sticks of incense in front of the Buddha statue, prayed for Emperor Zhaowu, and entered the inner room together with Concubine Yun.

She took the tea cup that Concubine Yun Gui handed her and asked, "When did my aunt enshrine the Buddha statue in the palace?"

Concubine Yun Gui said tiredly and tiredly, "Nowadays, many women in the palace have enshrined Buddha statues in their palaces, so I shouldn't be behind them."

"The emperor's illness...how is it?"

Concubine Yun Gui looked nonchalant and said only: "Life and death have fate."

She looked indifferent, and she could pretend to be a little heartache outside, but now she is alone with Jiang Rao, and she is unwilling to pretend to be sad.

She knew her own identity, but she was serving the king, so she didn't care whether Emperor Zhaowu's thoughts towards her were true or false.

Even if Emperor Zhaowu had handed Fengyin into her hands... She deserved all these things. During the half year he neglected her, she also shed a lot of tears in order to pretend to be sad. He was able to deceive the queen so much that he deserved credit. have her.

In her boudoir, she was used to listening to the sweet words from men, and she was not a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, so how could she be easily deceived by sweet words.

After so many years of fighting and fighting, she was bored to death. She used to worry that the seventeenth prince would eventually succeed the throne. Now, looking at the situation, the throne will definitely not fall into the hands of the seventeenth prince. As long as the last successor is not the seventeenth prince, She will never be too sad in the days to come.

If Emperor Zhaowu really died one day, she would finally be able to live a life of nothing to do, and finally be able to breathe a sigh of relief.

It's just that this kind of outrageous words, even if Jiang Rao is in front of her, she can't say it. If someone really wants to hear it, it will not only harm herself, but also Jiang Rao. .

The sentence of life and death has already made Jiang Rao see Concubine Yun's attitude clearly.

She knew before that her aunt was not really interested in the emperor, but, even if someone irrelevant died, her heart would inevitably be touched, not to mention the person by her bedside for so many years.

But the aunt is so indifferent, it can be seen that she is really unhappy living in the palace.

Jiang Rao let go of the tea cup in her hand and held Concubine Yun Gui's hand, "Auntie is lonely chanting sutras alone, why don't I come to the palace to accompany you these few days."

Concubine Yun Gui pulled her hand back, smiled faintly, and said, "You are now newly married Yan Er, if you stay with me, your husband can't urge people to come over every day and find you back?"

She added: "Before you get married, just stay with me for a while, then forget it. Now that you are married, it is totally inappropriate for me to keep you here."

Jiang Rao lowered her head and took a sip of tea.

The rest day that the newlyweds had allocated was gone in a blink of an eye, and it had been a few days since Rong Ting returned to the courtroom.

A few days ago, she wanted to enter the palace to see my aunt, but his illness kept coming back and forth, coughing and headaches for a while, making her unable to walk away.

Seeing that he seemed to be better today, she was given the opportunity to enter the palace today.

But whether the disease will relapse later, she is not sure, she wants to go back sooner instead.

Yun Guifei saw Jiang Rao lowered her head and wondered what she was thinking. She glanced up and down, swept Jiang Rao several times, and suddenly came close to Jiang Rao's ear and asked mysteriously, "I gave you that booklet earlier. , is it available?"

Jiang Rao almost spit out all the tea he drank.

Concubine Yun Gui assigned the nonsense of the mammy to her side, and the things in her booklet were replaced by her memories.

She felt ashamed just thinking about the picture on the book of avoiding disasters.

Her aunt was too embarrassed to give this hot thing to her.

Jiang Rao took a deep breath and said calmly, "Throw it away."

"Oh—" Yun Guifei dragged her tone and snorted, "It's useless?"

"It's useless."

Hearing this, Concubine Yun evoked a smile, covered with a fan, and the smile seemed to be indistinguishable, "I thought that the ninth prince had a problem in his leg, and I finally found the booklet, since you said it was useless, it seems that he is recovering well? "

Jiang Rao was utterly ashamed and indignant. The pictures on the booklet were all women on top... Her face became extremely hot, and she pushed and pushed the steaming tea cup on the table towards Concubine Yun. Otherwise, as soon as the heat hit her face, she would be out of breath.

In the shadow of the teacup, you could see how red her face was.

Concubine Yun Gui always liked to tease Jiang Rao to the point of blushing. She curled her eyes and never put it down again, "Since he has good legs and feet, then I'll find some other booklets for you another day."

Jiang Rao choked a few times on her face. She returned to Ning Anbo's house, but she was never caught by her mother and asked.

She shook her head sharply, "Auntie, don't ask again."

Concubine Yun Gui didn't dare to tease her too hard, she fanned the fan in her hand, and said with peace of mind, "Looking at his appearance, it should hurt people."

Although she herself has no blessings, she met a good marriage, and saw her niece, whom she thought her daughter loved, had a happy marriage, and she felt at ease in her heart.

When Rong Ting was sitting in a wheelchair before, although she had one or two concerns, she never blocked her too much. As long as it made Jiang Rao happy, and there was no major problem with the man's character, she recognized a good marriage.

Jiang Rao lowered his head shyly and didn't say anything at all.

Her only dissatisfaction with him was probably over this kind of thing.

It's just that she is willing, and it doesn't matter how dissatisfied she is.

Yun Guifei smiled and her expression suddenly became cold.

"I was just happy to see you, I almost forgot."

She held her slender fingers, clutching the thin fan surface, and the strength of her fingertips seemed to be able to pinching through the paper-thin fan surface, "You came back from the Shangsi Festival outing, and what happened to the bad guys you met? "

Jiang Rao knew that this matter would be brought up by Concubine Yun sooner or later, and she had prepared an excuse in her heart.

The situation this time was a bit different from when she returned to Ning Anbo Mansion. At that time, she was afraid that her parents would be too worried and did not mention the Seventeenth Prince in front of them.

Now that the seventeenth prince is being interrogated by Qiao Zhi, there is no need to hide the matter, Jiang Rao said one to one, and Concubine Yun Gui said, "You should go look for the little girl Hu, because of her knowledge of your own kung fu. The degree of conceit, she failed to be with you, 80% is a little annoyed."

Jiang Rao nodded.

"It's a big fate for you to switch." Yun Guifei raised her hand and tapped Jiang Rao's forehead, "If it wasn't for you with a guard by your side, wouldn't something have happened?"

Jiang Rao nodded.

She didn't mention those dark guards in Tsing Yi at all.

Her intuition remained unsolved.

After returning to Ning Anbo Mansion, she asked Jiang Jinxing who the shadow he saw in Qiliu Town was, she had a guess.

But still don't like to check it out.

If she's been around from earlier, just follow

So many people... After going through Raogu Mountain, she naturally wouldn't think it was a useless arrangement, but she just didn't know why Rong Ting never mentioned it to her.

If she and him were just common acquaintances, she wouldn't have those dreams of foreknowledge of the future, she never dreamed that she would live under his airtight control, and she wouldn't be entangled in this.

Jiang Rao didn't want to think too much about this matter, so she deliberately pulled the topic away from it. She asked Concubine Yun, "Is it safe with Jinxiu Palace now?"

Concubine Yun Gui sneered, "How can the queen be so peaceful?"

"The emperor took into account the reputation of the Xu family in Jinling. Although he had already banned her, he refused to abolish the empress. This time, the seventeenth prince made a mistake. I'm afraid they don't want to see her face."

"I thought that from the moment the emperor pretended to be tender and deceived the queen, he had already thought of abolishing the queen."

"There must always be a suitable reason to block the long speeches inside and outside the court, so as not to be called foolish. Empress Jiahe has always had a good reputation of praising her since the beginning of her boudoir, even when the Qiang envoys came to pay tribute last time, She lost her decency, in exchange for someone who supported her."

Concubine Yun Gui pointed to herself, and said casually: "As for me, when I was in the boudoir, I acted flamboyantly, and I was not likable. When I entered the palace, I could only get a bad reputation and a reputation as a demon concubine. This time, the queen's concubine's phoenix The seal was given to me, and the saint became ill not long after, I am afraid many people are saying that this is the punishment given to the emperor by God, and favoring me, the demon concubine's punishment."

Jiang Rao was a little ashamed, and now there are indeed such rumors on the street.

It has been passed on from time to time, and her aunt's reputation has been smeared extremely badly.

Even if she finds someone to clarify, she can't restrain those who spread rumors.

Jiang Rao's face was slightly annoyed, and her heart suddenly froze.

Her mood changed year by year, knowing what Rong Ting had been through these years, and thinking about how badly she looked at him when she first dreamed about the future, she suddenly felt ashamed of herself.

To this day, she thinks that he is wrong.

She's just...beginning to understand why he's doing this.

She has lived a smooth and comfortable life since she was born, and most of the people she meets are kind, morally arrogant, and of course spurn his cruel and unfeeling behavior.

But if she really grew up in the same environment as him, how could she be better than him in order to survive?
