The little girl, who was sluggish just a moment ago, suddenly had a desire to survive, and her eyes, which were still steamy, seemed to be twinkling like stars.

Ling Yan was already ready to accept his fate and wait for death. Seeing this, he regained his strength and held Liu Ruoqian's hand back, with a slightly excited expression on his face.

"Girl, this servant is not very sure that you will be safe and sound, but if you trust this servant, this servant will definitely try her best to deal with it."

Liu Ruoqian pulled her up from the ground, her eyes full of sincerity: "Lingyan, I believe in you."

Ever since she became a human being, she has lived in a small mountain village with few people.There are only a few dozen families in Xingshan Village.

Except for the New Year's Eve, the major events in the village are nothing more than the marriage of this family and the birth of a baby in that family.

If any couple in a family quarrels or scolds between sisters-in-law and so on, it will cause a sensation in the whole village.

In her family, her parents are harmonious, her siblings are deeply affectionate, and her relationship with Aunt Li's next door is also good.

Growing up in a simple and happy environment, she never encountered anything that needed to use her brain since she was a child.

For her, the most troublesome thing is probably to find a way to coax Brother Da Mao to take her to the mountains to play.

But Brother Big Mao is also easy to coax, as long as she tugs on his sleeve, keeps following him, and keeps calling him Brother Big Mao, he will agree.

But the palace is so big, she doesn't know anyone except Ganoderma lucidum and Lingyan, and she doesn't know what to do to keep her head.

That can't be done, let her also tug on the sleeve of the tyrant, and call him brother tyrant.

Even if it wasn't for the head falling faster.

Ganoderma lucidum is loyal to her and takes good care of her in life, but her mind is simpler than hers. No matter what happens to her, she always has only one sentence, "I listen to my girl".

But the problem is, her girl's head doesn't work very well.

Right now, she has no choice but to count on Lingyan.

Fortunately, Lingyan is mature and stable. Mrs. Liu said that she is smart and knows the rules of the palace very well.

Liu Ruoqian looked at Lingyan: "Then what should I do?"

Ling Yan: "Girl, it's getting late today, and tomorrow morning, the slaves will go out to inquire about the news."

Liu Ruoqian nodded: "Then you should inquire about it to see what His Majesty the Tyrant likes and what he doesn't like."

The eldest brother loves the art of war. He used to say that if you know yourself and the enemy, you will win every battle.

Although she is not fighting a war, His Majesty the Tyrant wants to chop off her head, and that is her enemy.

It's always good to know more about him.

As soon as Liu Ruoqian said the word "tyrant" so casually, before her voice was deliberately lowered, Lingyan's face turned pale with fright, and she quickly turned her head and looked at the door tremblingly.

Liu Ruoqian was puzzled: "What's wrong?"

Seeing Lingzhi guarding the door, Lingyan's expression eased.

Said in a voice that could be heard by two people: "Miss, remember, the word 'tyrant', and any words that slander His Majesty, don't say it again in the future, and be careful not to speak out."

Liu Ruoqian also suddenly realized that her voice was louder just now, so she quickly covered her mouth with her hand.

Growing up so big, she can say whatever she wants at home, and no one has ever taught her this truth.

But also, at home, even if she said something wrong, her parents and brothers would just laugh and no one would cut off her head.

Hey, now, after entering a palace, one can no longer speak casually.

Feeling a little upset, but in order to survive, Liu Ruoqian decided to listen to Lingyan.

Seeing the little girl covering her mouth and nodding frequently, she looked very cute, Ling Yan sighed in her heart, feeling sorry for her.

If the girl hadn't lost it when she was young, with such a celestial appearance and such a lovable temperament, she would have been favored by the prime minister, and she must have married a good family long ago, so how could she be sent away as a discarded pawnCome into the palace.

Ling Yan softened her tone: "Girl, don't be afraid, it's just that this palace is no better than the outside, and the walls have ears, we need to be careful everywhere."

Liu Ruoqian nodded, and said in a low voice: "Lingyan, Lingzhi is less courageous than me, so you don't need to tell her what you told me, so as not to scare her to tears."

Ling Yan: "This servant also has the same intention."

At first glance, Ganoderma lucidum seems to be a man without a city and can't handle things.That's why she sent Ganoderma lucidum to the gate of the hall to guard it earlier.

The master and servant were frank with each other, and talked softly for a while, which was quite pleasant.

At the end, Ling Yan said: "Girl, there is one more thing. I will go out to inquire about the news tomorrow, and I need to go around. The servants need some silver taels."

Liu Ruoqian: "The ganoderma lucidum is in charge of the money, you just ask her to get it."

Although Prime Minister Liu's dog couple used their power to force her into the palace, they were quite generous in terms of money.

There are two large boxes of clothes and jewellery, one hundred taels of silver and five thousand taels of banknotes, both in large and small amounts, which are said to be convenient for her to use.

Forced her into the palace regardless of her life or death, and gave so much money.

Liu Ruoqian couldn't figure out what the dog couple meant, so she humbly asked Lingyan for advice.

Now that the master and the servant are confiding in each other, Ling Yan told the truth: "I am worried, if you get the grace, I will think of their kindness; maybe there is still a trace of guilt for you."

Liu Ruoqian nodded, expressing her understanding.

Called Lingzhi over, and said: "Lingzhi, from now on in the palace, Lingyan will take care of the affairs outside, and you take care of the affairs around me. Lingyan is two years older than you and knows more than you. In the future, you should listen to Lingyan more.of."

Ganoderma lucidum responded cheerfully: "Your servant listens to the girl."

Under Liu Ruoqian's consent, Ling Yan took Ling Zhizi and explained it carefully, Ling Zhi nodded and accepted the instruction humbly.

Liu Ruoqian was in low spirits, didn't eat anything, washed up and went to bed early.

The next morning, when Liu Ruoqian got up with a droopy head, Eunuch Xi, the eunuch in charge, brought the two court ladies and two eunuchs to her door.

Liu Ruoqian didn't know how to deal with it, so she left it to Ling Yan to deal with it.

Lingyan accepted him generously and safely, and sent Eunuch Xi out of the house respectfully.

When there was no one there, Lingyan quietly stuffed a purse, and politely inquired about some affairs in the palace.

Xi Gonggong squeezed the purse with his fingers, answered Lingyan's question patiently, and then left with a smile.

Lingyan went back to the house, arranged errands for the new maids and eunuchs, sent them out to work, and then walked to Liu Ruoqian.

"Girl, this servant has inquired, and the only place you can go is the Royal Garden."

This was what Liu Ruoqian specially explained before going to bed yesterday, and asked Lingyan to help her find a place with many flowers and trees, where she could nest for half a day.

If she doesn't absorb a little bit of natural aura, her little ginseng will become more and more wimpy.

"Imperial Garden? It sounds like a good place. I'll go there after dinner." Liu Ruoqian said happily.

As soon as she thought of the comfort of being surrounded by lush greenery and trees, she temporarily forgot about losing her head at any moment.

Looking at the little girl's beautiful smile, Ling Yan swallowed what she was going to persuade, and nodded with a smile: "Okay."

The future is uncertain, and it is good to be happy for a while.

In the royal garden.

Liu Ruoqian was wearing a light green dress, standing in a small sycamore grove with a smile on her face, with her arms outstretched, her eyes half-closed, looking at the sky through the gaps in the lush leaves, she just felt comfortable all over her body.

Ganoderma lucidum has been with Liu Ruoqian for more than a year, so it is not surprising.

Lingyan, however, was quite surprised at how much she had changed before and after.

Ever since we met at the Prime Minister's Mansion, the little girl has been listless. She thought she grew up in the countryside, did not eat well, had poor foundation, and was weak.

When she first walked out of the Drunken Flower Palace, she was still listless.But after staying in the imperial garden for less than half an hour, you are so energetic?

The little girl was delighted, and she hopped on tiptoe from time to time, feeling like she could jump up the tree in the next moment.

Lingzhi smiled and said: "Sister Lingyan, we girls are like this, we are happy when we are outside."

Although she felt that this explanation was a bit far-fetched, but considering that she grew up in the countryside after all, Ling Yan didn't think much about it.

Liu Ruoqian took a deep breath of the air exuding the sweet scent of plants, turned her head and waved her hand, and chased people away again: "Lingyan, you can go to work, Lingzhi can just accompany me alone."

Lingyan is good, but she manages too much, and even when she walks a bit too much, she has to whisper to remind her to pay attention to her demeanor.

Thinking of the big things to do, Lingyan nodded: "The servants go back first."

It was too early, and the sycamore forest was in the corner again.

According to what Eunuch Xi said, at this time, there are very few people coming to the Imperial Garden on weekdays, so it should be fine for the girl to stay here for a while.

Ling Yan gave Ling Zhi a good command, and then left in a hurry.

When Lingyan was far away, Liu Ruoqian excitedly ran under a sycamore tree, and Le Diandian climbed up the tree: "Ganoderma lucidum, come and help me."

"Okay, girl." Ganoderma lucidum, the only girl in the world, trotted forward, hugged Liu Ruoqian's leg, and helped her up the tree branch.

Liu Ruoqian sat on a branch leaning against the tree trunk, and stretched out her hand towards the air.

A wax-billed sparrow flew over chirping, and landed on the slender hand that was as white as fat.

Liu Ruoqian smiled with her eyes bent.

The sun shines through the canopy of the trees in the summer morning, making it warm.

Sitting on the tree for a while, Liu Ruoqian felt a little sleepy, she looked down at Ganoderma lucidum, "Ganoderma lucidum, I'm going to take a nap, you go to the front and guard the moon gate, call me when anyone comes."

"Okay, girl." Lingzhi walked towards the edge of the forest without saying a word.

Liu Ruoqian supported the trunk, rode|sat on the branch, and slowly lay down on her stomach.

She hugged the branch with hands and feet, yawned big, flapped her eyelashes, and slowly closed her eyes.

Inside the Changning Palace, the bright sun shines into the palace through the windows.

Lu Rengu, who was tortured by a headache and stayed up all night, with his black underwear open and his long black hair hanging loose, sat on the floor next to the bed with a tired expression.

At his feet, several wine jugs were piled up here and there, all empty.

There were footsteps outside.

The high-pitched voice of the great eunuch Quan Fu sounded, with tears in his voice: "Master Zou, you are here. Your Majesty suffered from a severe headache last night. I want to go in and stay with you, even if I call the imperial doctor, just sit there alone."After drinking all night, you can go and have a look."

Zou Qi hurriedly walked in, saw the person sitting on the ground, frowning: "Your Majesty."

"Zou Qi, are you here?" Lu Rengu looked up, his face was pale, and he smiled.

Zou Qi: "Your Majesty, the sun is shining outside, do you want to go for a walk?"

Lu Rengu raised his hand and pressed it on his temple, his tired voice was hoarse: "Alright."

Zou Qi turned around and went out, softly said to Quan Fu: "Serve Your Majesty to wash and change clothes."

After a quarter of an hour, Lu Rengu walked slowly into the imperial garden.

Zou Qi followed behind, a distance of three zhang, no more, no less.

The sun in midsummer, even in the morning, is a bit warm.

Lu Rengu, who was dressed in black, felt that the coldness in his body was gradually dissipating.

He raised his hand towards the sun, narrowing his phoenix eyes slightly.

The fingers that had been cold all night finally felt warm.

After standing for a while, he lifted his foot and continued walking aimlessly.

Years ago, after being accidentally struck by lightning, his hearing became abnormal.

He could hear all kinds of people's inner voices, as well as all kinds of subtle noises, which were endlessly noisy.

It is precisely because of this that he often has a splitting headache.

Especially at night, it is more noisy than during the day.

Whenever night fell, all kinds of howling ghosts and wolves flooded into his mind uncontrollably, causing his head to explode.

Years have passed, and have searched for famous doctors, but there is still no cure.

At this moment, the scorching sun was shining brightly, and all the demons and ghosts in my mind were gone.

The only thing in my ears is the chirping of birds and insects, and the rustling of leaves in the breeze.

For him, it was quiet.

He is greedy for the warmth of this moment, and he is reluctant to part with the peace of this moment.

Knowing that the court meeting was coming soon, he had no intention of leaving at all, and still strolled in the courtyard, walking forward aimlessly.

The two were tall and long-legged, unknowingly passed through the entire imperial garden, and walked into a luxuriant sycamore forest.

While walking, Lu Rengu suddenly stopped and raised his hand.

Zou Qi, who was following three zhang away, hurriedly stopped when he saw this, put his hand on the handle of the saber at his waist, and looked around vigilantly, but saw nothing unusual.

Lu Rengu beckoned, Zou Qi quietly stepped forward and asked what's wrong with his eyes.

Lu Rengu raised his chin slightly, motioning Zou Qi to look at the green ball hanging on the branch in front of him: "Go and see what that is?"
