The mad concubine of ancient martial arts who traveled through time

Chapter 268
The sky was slightly bright, but drowsiness had already hit Ruan Zhuqi's head, she was so dizzy that she couldn't lift her eyelids, she just fell asleep lying by the window like this.The morning bell of the Royal Temple rang, and Xuan Shidu got dressed early and came outside Hanguang Hall.The bed in the side hall of Hanguang Hall is a bit hard, and Ruan Zhuqi doesn't sleep well on weekdays, so I don't know if she slept well last night.Concerned about Ruan Zhuqi in his heart, Xuan Shidu postponed the morning court and came over to check on Ruan Zhuqi's situation first.

The side hall was quiet, Ruan Zhuqi left no one to guard last night.Xuan Shidu gently pushed the door open, glanced at the servants surrounding him, and was so frightened that the servants did not dare to say a word out of anger.There was no one on the bed, Xuan Shidu's heart sank for a moment, and when he looked closely, the worried person was fast asleep by the window.Xuan Shidu walked behind Ruan Zhuqi, gently picked up Ruan Zhuqi, carefully placed her on the bed, and covered her with a quilt.Ruan Zhuqi turned over subconsciously, Xuan Shidu held his breath, for fear of waking her up in the next second.After waiting for a while, the person on the bed remained silent, Xuan Shidu heaved a sigh of relief, and reached out to cover Ruan Zhuqi's exposed arms with the quilt.

The place where his fingers touched Ruan Zhuqi's skin was icy cold, Xuan Shi degree frowned, and after placing Ruan Zhuqi, he left the side hall.After finishing washing, Hu Lulan hurried over, just in time for Xuan Shidu to come out from the side hall. "I have seen Your Majesty..." Before the ceremony was finished, Xuan Shidu said coldly: "The palace servants who served in the side hall last night will all receive [-] boards from the Punishment Department today. This matter If you can't do it well, you don't have to be a queen anymore!"

Xuan Shidu swaggered away, Hu Lulan looked at the palace people kneeling around her, and helped her forehead. "You have just heard His Majesty's will. Before His Majesty's anger is still strong, hurry up and receive the punishment. If it is too late, I am afraid it will not be twenty big boards. You all remember in the future, serving Miss Liu must Keep your spirits up, there is a slight mistake, no one can protect you!"

When Ruan Zhuqi woke up, it was already under the sun.It was raining last night, but today is very cool, so I slept for a long time.Ruan Zhuqi got up, and several court ladies had already prepared hot water and clothes, and they slowly helped Ruan Zhuqi wash and dress. "Miss Liu, your breakfast has been prepared by the imperial chefs, will it be served now?" a maid asked in a low voice, with her head down, Ruan Zhuqi couldn't see her face.

Breakfast?Ruan Zhuqi looked out of the window, and in about half an hour, it would be lunch time, and since she really didn't have any appetite, she said, "No need, just make a pot of tea, I don't want to eat." Hearing this, the maids panicked and knelt down in front of Ruan Zhuqi, weeping one by one: "Miss, please be kind! If His Majesty knows that Miss has not had breakfast, he will punish us severely!"

It's really vexatious, what kind of thing is this?Thinking about it, Ruan Zhuqi felt angry, and even lost her appetite.He was brought into the palace for no reason, and he didn't know what was going on with Qian Ao now, so Hu Lulan specifically asked Ruan Zhuqi not to ask any more.Now I have to be controlled even if I eat breakfast, it's like a prison. "If he wants to punish you, let him come to me directly!"

The maids looked at each other with embarrassed expressions, wondering if they should listen to Ruan Zhuqi.Ruan Zhuqi was annoyed, she didn't even have the freedom to order the maids by herself.Immediately angrily grabbed a teacup and threw it on the ground, shouting loudly: "Get out of here, tell your majesty to come see me!"

Xuan Shidu ran over in a hurry, and probably knew the situation from the descriptions of the maids.Ruan Zhuqi turned her back to Xuan Shidu, pretending not to know he was coming.Xuan Shidu said to the maids: "Miss Liu has been offended, what reason is there to argue in front of me? From now on, all of you will go to the clothes washing bureau and be relegated to low-level palace servants."

Ruan Zhuqi's eyes changed slightly. These maidservants are different from the low-level maids in the clothes washing bureau. These people were also well-bred ladies from a good family, and they never did such rough work as washing clothes.All the palace maids were ashamed, crying and begging Xuan Shidu for mercy.Xuan Shidu didn't change his face, and ordered the guards coldly: "Take them all away!"

"Wait!" Ruan Zhuqi finally couldn't help but stop her voice, "These people were carefully selected by Xiaolan, and they must be different from ordinary palace people. Besides, they didn't do anything wrong, so let Xiaolan train them for a while." Fan is, why send them to the Clothes Bureau to torture them?"

"Oh?" Xuan Shidu raised his eyebrows excitedly, and smiled at Ruan Zhuqi, "Xu sees me now? Is he willing to talk to me?" Ruan Zhuqi gave him an annoyed look, and turned his back again.Xuan Shidu laughed a few times, approached Ruan Zhuqi, touched Ruan Zhuqi's forehead, it wasn't hot; then seeing her staring at him, she was quite angry, and felt a little more at ease, saying: "Since Miss Liu Having said that, you don't want to go to the queen's place, and see how the queen treats you!"

"Miss Xie Liu for your kindness! Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!" The maids scrambled to kowtow to thank each other, and filed out from the side hall. "After lunch, I will take you to a place." Xuan Shidu smiled mysteriously, and pulled the reluctant Ruan Zhuqi to eat with him.

In order to highlight the sense of mystery, Xuan Shidu deliberately covered Ruan Zhuqi's eyes with a silk scarf. The 16-member emperor carried Xuan Shidu and Ruan Zhuqi ostentatiously from Hanguang Hall, attracting envious and surprised eyes from countless people along the way. "Aunt Zu, isn't she the Princess of Lanling?" Mu Xuelin looked at everything in disbelief, and she touched Lu Lingxuan's arm without thinking.Lu Lingxuan didn't say a word, just stared at Xuan Shidu's joyful expression and thought.

The little noise in the ears gradually disappeared, and the surrounding gradually became quiet, only the sound of the palace people carrying the sedan chair could be heard.A coolness that was different from the luxurious atmosphere permeated the heart, Ruan Zhuqi felt it intently, suddenly a certain palace servant's foot slipped, and the emperor leaned to the right.Ruan Zhuqi was unsteady, and subconsciously stretched out her hand to grab it.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here!" Xuan Shidu was a little happy, and Ruan Zhuqi was holding on to his lapel.Xuan Shidu changed his posture, took Ruan Zhuqi into his arms, and forgot to punish the palace servant who made mistakes.The bearer of the sedan chair made a false alarm and carried Di Tuo more carefully.Di Lun gradually stopped, and Ruan Zhuqi heard a faint sound of running water, and suddenly her eyes brightened.

In the depths of the small bamboo forest, there is a small stone bridge, and the gurgling stream under the bridge is crystal clear.There is a palace behind the stone bridge, which is resplendent and resplendent, and it is obvious that it has just been built.Ruan Zhuqi was stunned for a while, the palace in front of her seemed somewhat familiar.

Xuan Shidu smiled slightly, helped Ruan Zhuqi get off the emperor's gate, and walked slowly towards the palace.On the plaque at the main entrance of the palace, there are three words "Yinfengyuan" written in seal script. The characters are elegant and free, and Ruan Zhuqi knows at a glance that this is Xuan Shidu's handwriting.

The moment Ruan Zhuqi saw the palace gate clearly, she stared at a knife mark on the copper ring with a look of astonishment.It was clearly a newly built palace, but an "old" knife mark was deliberately made.Ruan Zhuqi quickly opened the door, and the scene in the hall surprised her even more.She hurriedly ran to the East Wing, on the wall of the East Wing, a few carved "Xu" characters appeared in front of Ruan Zhuqi's eyes.

What kind of "Yinfeng Garden" is this? This is clearly the Linzhi Palace where she once lived!Xuan Shidu smiled, but Ruan Zhuqi's face was pale: "What do you mean? To tell me, you can enter and leave my Northern Zhou palace at will? Do you still want to tell me that you want to take my fourth uncle's item?" Human head, is it easy for you?"

Xuan Shidu's complexion changed drastically, his body trembled suddenly, and he looked at Ruan Zhuqi with hatred, his lips trembled up and down a few times, but he didn't make a sound.Ruan Zhuqi smiled coldly, and said: "Now you are the knife and I am the fish. The safety of Qian Ao and Fourth Uncle is under your control. Then just say what your majesty wants, we are powerless to resist anyway .”

Xuan Shidu's figure swayed a few times, and after a long time, he turned his back and said slowly, "I thought you wouldn't sleep well elsewhere, and you would like it here." Ruan Zhuqi was astonished, feeling a little dazed, he Are you concerned about her?Xuan Shidu said again: "Don't worry, it's not easy to freely enter and leave Ruan Wenyong's territory, and I can't do it either. As for Qian Ao, you will be able to see him tonight."

The same carriage, the same night, the difference is that this time it was Hu Lulan who sent her out of the palace.Ruan Zhuqi hadn't seen him since the morning he had an unpleasant quarrel with Xuan Shidu.Along the way, Hu Lulan hesitated to speak several times, but Ruan Zhuqi only thought that she wanted to explain something about the morning's affairs, so she didn't ask any more questions.The carriage creaked and gradually came to a stop. Hu Lulan sighed and said, "The construction of Yinfengyuan started before His Majesty took the throne, and it was just completed last month. Your Majesty just wants to make my sister happy." , there is no other meaning. My sister really misunderstood Your Majesty this time."

Ruan Zhuqi got out of the carriage silently without saying a word. "Wangfu?" Ruan Zhuqi felt a little strange, and looked at Hu Lulan inquiringly.Hu Lulan said: "Your Majesty said to send my sister to see the lord. My sister should go quickly. I will wait for my sister outside, and I will take her home later." Ruan Zhuqi nodded and walked to Qian Ao's study with ease.Qian Ao must not be able to sleep now, he must be thinking about things in the study.

Walking eastward into the mansion, bypassing two bends, as expected, he saw the bright lights of Qian Ao's study from a distance.Qian Ao's shadow was reflected on the window paper, sitting quietly in front of the desk without moving.Qian Ao had a haggard face with an unshaved beard, his eyes were sunken, and his eyes were a little distracted.With pale lips and a thin face, Ruan Zhuqi felt a little distressed. Qian Ao must have had a bad time during this time.

"Qian Ao." Qian Ao raised his head in a daze, and pulled up the corner of his mouth to reveal an extremely ugly smile. "You're here, I..." Qian Ao hesitated for a long time, opened and closed his lips, but didn't continue.Ruan Zhuqi walked up to him, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "I know everything, I believe you, you are innocent, it was Xuan Shidu who wronged you."
